Why I Built this Project
I have quite a bit of holiday decor but not a lot of places to display it. This allows me to put it all in one place! I love the look of this Free Standing Christmas Tree Shelf and how low profile it is. It has a small footprint for homes or apartments that may not have a lot of space for a regular tree. I am considering not even getting a tree this year because I love this so much! No watering, no pine needles, no mess, but still just as festive!

How I Built this Project
I cut and assembled each section as I went. I also pre-sanded each board before assembling.
Use glue and nails to assemble each section of the 1x frame.
I used a 3/4" spacer for the bottom horizontal shelf placement on each section.
Continue onto the next section. The parts of the tree with no back are a little more flexible, be sure to use plenty of glue and nails. Still using the 3/4" spacer to get the correct shelf placement on each section.
For the middle section I just cut and screwed the cedar fence pickets to the back. Make sure all sides are flush.
If you want a shorter version just build the top 3 sections!
Continue the build process for the next section.
For the bottom section I recommend laying it out and cutting the back pieces to ensure the best fit.
Stack all the pieces together and screw at the overlap, I used 1 1/4" kreg screws.
I took this apart, unscrewed the back fence pickets, stained the main frame and then put it all together again.
I love that is collapses for easy storage!
