Hi all,
We have a niche in one of our walls and want to install custom-cut glass to make shelving. Imagine if you took a closet, ripped the doors off, and lifted it five feet into the air --this is the sort of space I want to put the shelf in. (Picture attached.) I've already ordered a piece of tempered glass to try out. The plan is to mount pieces in the opposing walls of the niche, and rest the glass on those. Max weight will be 60 lbs including shelf plus bric a brac.
Using a piece of wood on both sides (painted to match the drywall) should look sort of okay, and be easy on the glass. However: I'm going to have a hard time matching because the paint is 8 years old, and getting the mounting perfectly square plumb and level is going to be challenging for me. So I'm looking for other options.
Any suggestions for mounting strategies that might be better suited here?
Thanks!
