(see my Dining Table post for the other pieces in this set)

 

Woods are mahogany and maple for the larger shelves, and rosewood with zebrawood for the small shelf.   We went with the hanging shelves to maximize the useable space for big dinners while still leaving the room feeling open – and the floating bottom shelves amplify the effect as well.  The larger shelves are mounted with backer boards for weight support, and the maple support pieces keep it level and stable.  The angles in the design mirror the angles in the table top elements, and the maple shapes mirror the table base elements as well.   The zebra/rosewood ellipse shelf is made from scraps from the table top construction. Finished with Waterlox satin.
