I was in Lowes the other day and they had a small selection of wood shelves. 6' lengths. I used the wire shelf, attached with 3 inch L brackets above valances. I have decorative baskets also from Lowes that I carry on the shelf. Works fine.


Mike can you go into a little more detail on how you attached this shelf and used a wooden closet rod? I'm having a hard time picturing it all in my mind. Fell free to send me a PM if you want about how you did this.

Neglected to mention I used a wood closet rod to support wire shelf, very stable.

Folks I've been looking for an wooden shelf that I can install in my 180 over the bed and haven't had much luck on finding a reasonable price source for one. Last summer we met a nice couple in a Pod up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Edinburg, who had this mod and told me they bought theirs at a Lowe's Home Center which sadly for me they seem don't carry any longer. Also I'd like to hear suggestions on how you attached the shelf on the window valances and secured boxes and such if you have made this mod?
