Treat your pocket rocket to a storage solution that is both space inspired and space saving!
OUT OF THE WORLD

Kids will love having this rocket-style shelf in their room and at night will shoot off to sleep dreaming of being in their very own spaceship on a thrilling, intergalactic adventure! Plus, it's a starry spot to store your kid's books, toys, and games.

“ SHOOT FOR THE STARS You can make one shelving unit to set up in the corner of your kid’s room, or double up and join two units together for setting up on a flat wall, as here. Or, go ahead and do both. The sky's the limit after all!

EASY STEPS TO YOUR ROCKET SHELVING

Gather your supplies

• 2400 x 1200 x 17mm CD structural plywood

• 50mm timber screws 

• Yellow, blue, and red acrylic paint

• Lytworx remote-controlled night light

• LED strip lighting

You’ll also need

Tape measure; pencil; circular saw; straightedge; clamps; builder’s square; drill; 3.5mm and 10mm bit; jigsaw; combination square; countersinking bit; 120- and 180-grit sandpaper; PVA glue; lint-free cloth; batten; small nail; hammer; chisel; mini roller and tray; paintbrush; clear polyurethane; furniture anchor

For you to note

• These instructions are to make 1 corner shelf. The finished size is 1800mm high x 400mm deep and wide. To make 2 to join, use 2 sheets of plywood and double the components. Join in Step 13 with glue and 10g x 30mm screws under the shelves. Fill screw holes and sand before painting.

• Work on a flat surface, moving the plywood and clamps as needed to make cuts and ensure there’s clearance under saw blades.
