Hi all,
I'm looking to build a wall mounted dressing table for the mrs in a cornered area of our spare room. Just a couple of questions below that I need help with... the table will need to be about 48mm in depth and wont be holding anything outrageously heavy so I would have thought this would be quite a simple job, all of the videos I've watched on YouTube seem to overcomplicate things a bit. I've attached a picture with the section of the room where we want it to go....
- What would be the best type of wood for this? (The dressing table needs to be painted white so something that would be suitable for this??)
- Are there any good online stores where I can order cut to measure wood? If not where else is best to look?
- In terms of the width of the wood, as we'd obviously like it to fit exactly into this area, is it best to have the wood cut 1-2mm wider and sand down one side so it fits in perfectly? Just concerned that there may be a tiny gap on either side...
- I'm looking at either attaching the wood to the wall in 1 or 2 ways and I'm not sure which is best...
- Option 1 - use heavy duty shelf brackets such as these;

Would these be enough to support the dressing table? How many brackets would I be required if so? Just 2 on the back wall or also on the 2 side walls?
Option 2 - Create a frame for the main table to rest on using longer pieces of wood. Again, would this be enough support to hold the table ?
Not sure which option is best so any advice would be appreciated. Please see the images attached for reference!
Thanks
