Plywood prototype shelf:

more than sturdy enough. 👌
rated for up to 60kg of content or a small child hanging off it … 😜

Given the price of 10mm plywood - currently € 54.99: https://www.leroymerlin.pt/produtos/madeiras-e-acrilicos/paineis-para-construcao/contraplacado/placa-de-contraplacado-2500x1220x10mm-18896535.html

and the dimensions of each shelf I can get 4 out of each 8”x4” sheet. So that’s €13.75 per shelf!
The cost of the shelf is more than the SAMLA storage box. And that’s not factoring in time (wear+tear/depreciation) on the laser cutter and assembly time … ⏳

really wish we could just sell/donate all the things we don’t need so I wouldn’t have to spend days of my life and hundreds of euros building storage shelves … 😔

Laser-cut, assembled and mounted 4 more shelves:

going to make a couple more this afternoon.

😭 I really wish I'd read this issue earlier and hadn't missed it in the sea of 'bump' PRs and other rubbish.

Anyway. I just need time to revise the toy storage and it will get pared down.
The same time I need to tidy the house in fact. We can have all the storage we want but if there are a million other urgent things to do, the situation won't change 😞

A crying emoji is super encouraging. 👌
What would you do differently?
