Build an Organized Back of Door Shelf

Building a shelf on the back of any door can provide you with an external storage space that is both compact and accessible. To create a back door shelf, you're going to need a solid core door as opposed to one that has a hollow center. You will need to purchase a sheet of plywood that is around 3/4″, and cut it into 7″ inch strips that can be used to construct each individual shelf piece.
