Walnut  plywood floating shelves  are basically boxes with mitered edges ,and finished with hand applied Emmett's Good Stuff. Installed 2x6 cleat on fireplace  and wall to hang  shelves onto. Cheap & easy... Built-in carcass, end panel, counter top, & doors are walnut ply with walnut edge tape. Counter top nosing is solid walnut.   Homeowner pick out door hardware, I think it's hideous (IMHO ).  Just wanted to share this project with fog, hope you like it.          Cheers, David
 
Very nice! Quick question: are there cross members inside (ie torsion box design)?

Exactly , like a torsion box & fastened with pocket screws from inside. They run  shy an 1  3/4" in depth to allow room for 2x6 cleat.  I should have taken pics of interiors when building them. Thanks for the question,    David
