Honestly I can think of a bout three ways to build that and have it hold a light load of weight. Being mdf and rather shallow depth I would say that built as a square and then inner corners glued in and the outer routered off on a moulding spindle. Would be the fastest method for production, unless there was a high cost for labour, but I bet there isn't. -Michael

I would think MDF could be formed into many shapes other than flat sheets.
"MDF is a type of hardboard, which is made from wood fibres glued under heat and pressure."

Thanks Eddy !
I had thought about the MDF forming as being a possibility, I just can't see how it'd have been made using sheets of MDF (because of the obvious depth of the box) unless it was cut into four pieces and then joined?

Hi Jas
Browse these videos.
My guess is a thin formed shell with some sort of light weight core, maybe foam or cardboard, for your shelf.

Based on a pic I see in this auction, they're particle board, not MDF.

It would appear that they are molded into that shape from the factory. There's no possibly way to make that from flat sheets and still make any money on it. Even for those working for $2/day.Gerry
