Assembly Instructions for the Trinity Wall Shelf

A trinity shelf is a type of freestanding shelf placed against a wall so it looks like a wall shelf. You can even connect the trinity shelf to your wall’s studs to hold it in place. The shelves are usually made of metal and easy to assemble. These types of shelves can be used in kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms for cheap extra storage space.
