Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend. (lemmy.world)

Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.

As the son of an avid woodworker and the grandson of a cabinetmaker, I completely understand this comment.
