INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Cut out all of your pieces of wood to the sizes specified in the shopping list.

2.  Mark your grocery SIDES where you want your shelves to be placed:

***my shelves are placed at 

                      Lower Shelf: .75" from bottom of grocery side to bottom of lower shelf

Middle Shelf:  6" from bottom of grocery side to bottom of middle shelf

(I then added the measurements of  the top shelf to the "top" of the grocery sides, and then drew a line from that measurement to the top of the middle shelf, creating the angle to cut.)

3.  Nail on your bottom and middle shelves.  

4.  Nail on your toe kicks to the front and back of your grocery.  (I nailed my 1x2 toe kicks on their sides instead of standing up as in other plans.)

This is what it looks like from the bottom:

5.  Nail on your top shelf, making sure that the shelf is centered on the grocery sides:

6.  Fill all nail holes with wood putty and let dry.

7.  Sand well.

8.  Paint or stain piece to your desired finish.

9.  Attach your 2 pieces of acrylic to your grocery using 1" screws.  (Be sure to pre-drill your holes through the acrylic and the wood!)

10.  You are now READY TO PLAY!!
