Default Shelf carriers (metal, plastic or wooden?)

NIce work.


Now, the cupboards on the sides do not yet have shelfes in them.
Basically I have 3 options, and I am not sure which to pick. I tried
to keep it in an old style, my hinges are the type where the door can
be lifted off.

1. I could use those plastic corners, but plastic is not the style to
use here

2. I could use those round (Ø5mm) carriers, which would make it
possible to set the shelfes as I need.


This would be my choice - or shelf standards, routed in so they lay flush.
I have used them a lot for shelves and I personally like them. It's just a
preference thing - I don't realy care as much for the look of all of the
holes when you just use the pegs - but like I say, it's just a preference
thing.

Here's a different thought though... I have found that after allowing for
all of this flexibility in shelf locations... I can probably count on one
hand the number of times I've changed them once they were put in place the
first time. Maybe all of that flexibility isn't as worthwhile in the end.
