each shelf will be 2'x4' and 3/4" thick. i think that is the right size to hold three sterilite 1756? sweater boxes. the deminsions are something like 23 1/4" x 16" and hieght i'm not sure of between 7 and 8" i think. with four full sheets i can build my rack. two sheets will be for eight shelves then take one two foot section off the other two sheets. leaving them 6' by 4'. one of those will be cut down the middle for each side. Being that melamine sheet runs an inch larger it makes up for the cuts. also the shelves will actually be a little less than two feet to allow for the back to sit in between the sides. let me know if you have any other suggestions or ideas. the rack should hold 24 to 27 boxes. i'm not sure how many of the shelves will fit. havent done the math yet.
