Fruit boxes to make a shelf
If you have more than one fruit box in your possession you can create a shelf with several floors if that is what you want. These shelves that are made with decorative boxes usually have a very modern and informal touch. The fruit boxes must be renewed to be perfect. We must sand them a little to avoid any splinters. On the other hand, we can give them a little primer to prevent the material from spoiling. They can then be painted or used with a simple varnish so that they continue to have that rustic and characteristic wood tone. A great idea is to paint them in a light tone like white, which gives a lot of light to all the spaces.
Once you have the ready-made boxes you can fix them on the walls Or create a floor shelf by adding one to the other and attaching them to each other. If you want a piece of furniture that is also more versatile, you can add some small wheels at the bottom.
