About

Shelf Help is created by Ana White, a leading furniture plan designer, with over a decade of experience creating and designing furniture plans for novice DIYers.

Ana has long known that plywood is the best material to build furniture from.

But as a petite woman, plywood has always been a challenge for Ana to handle, transport and cut down in size, all safely and with dead on precision. And the odd sized plywood scraps from projects consumed workspace and increased the cost of projects.

Ana began working on the Shelf Help concept in early 2020.  In October of 2020, Shelf Help launched, ready to help homeowners create high quality, forever furnishings, with plywood pieces configured and shipped directly to them with front edges finished.

Your next piece of furniture starts with the best plywood, formaldehyde free PureBond by Columbia Forest Products, responsibly sourced and manufactured right here in America.

We then edge band, precision cut and carefully pack your order and send it direct to you.  Your Shelf Help order helps create local jobs and and reduces transportation cost and pollution.

Since you have designed your piece perfect for your home and needs, with the exact finish to compliment your home, there couldn't be a better fit. Made with high quality 3/4" thick plywood, Shelf Help will last a lifetime, and is easily repairable, recyclable and also biodegradable.

Choosing Shelf Help is not only choosing a more affordable, perfect fit for your home, but you are choosing sustainability and supporting job creation in America.
