Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend. (lemmy.world)

Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.

That is some beautiful craftsmanship. I’m sure better than the one she saw on Amazon.

I’d say about $30 better

Don't be so cheap, it's a whole 50% better!
