                The shelves are up :-)

                Was an absolute nightmare. I presumed the outside wall of my house was just brick like it is in the living room so got fixings for that. I should of knocked the wall first because this part of my outside wall has a cavity wall in front of it. So an extra trip to homebase was needed but i think the boxes look brill.

                Im completely chuffed with them and hoping it will help keep the desk clutter free

                        Thank you HarryS :-)

                        And its only that tidy because we had to moved the desk away from the wall to put the boxes up and my desk is just a sheet of glass that sits on top of two legs and isnt attached so to move you have to fully take the glass off. Its so heavy but it was well cheap from ikea

                        I want to keep it that tidy but i doubt it will stay like that if im honest lol still havnt moved everything back to the desk lol
