In reply to Aleana. 67" and 47" are quite long spans and 24" is very deep. I think in this instance I, personally would have a support at the junction.

Thank you for the tutorial! Could I do these style shelves with 1×1’s instead? I’m trying to put as many shoes as I can fit and get as many shelves as possible! I was going to make them 24inch deep. Would 1×1 be strong enough? Was thinking 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch tops? :)) The shelves will be an L shape 67 x 47 x 96 tall.

In reply to Billy. I don't remember. Probably either would work.

For joining the support pieces of the skeleton frame and the 2x2s not attached to the wall (most outward pieces), did you use pocket screw holes or drill in screws at angles via the sides?

In reply to Kassie Beach.

I’m not married to any one type of caulk. I currently like DAP Alex Plus which is an Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone.
I use Sherwin Williams Pro Classic (water based) paint for cabinets and trim. It hardens really well. It’s still paint and can scratch but so can wood, metal, stone… There’s no product that will make your shelves not ever scratch.
