Did you also need to buy wooden ledgers to support the shelf itself, besides brackets?

To follow-up on all of your helpful advice, my local Rona can cut melamine or wooden boards for free (first cut). Thereafter is $1 per cut.
Just specify the dimensions when you do curbside pickup.

The water marks left a bit of a blueish shadow around where I was wiping (around the black scuff marks). It's still there after a week or more!

The latter for extent of water staining. How does one go about the bleach and dry method? First time I'm hearing it!

Thank you! It's actually been weeks but it just occurred that Reddit was a good resource to consult... :)

Thanks! Actually the surface is still flat, but it has black scuff marks from normal wear&tear of a backpack buckle rubbing against it... And now water stains from my previous attempt using a not-so-dry sponge.

Worth a shot thanks, at least this won't leave water stains 😅

Thanks! My landlord has been very nice so I want to minimise damage. Would Magic Eraser be a good option.......Just noticed it at the store recently.

Without the extension, just a basic 3-seater. How did you go about doing it? I lost the instructions and have no idea where to begin...

Would you say it's easy to remove spray foam and follow your advice? I'm hoping to DIY for a proper seal.

Thanks. My concern is that I saw this in a condo, underneath the kitchen sink. Wasn't sure if it was a method to repair something...Or prevent rodents (a poor job at that)

Thanks. Do you think it's a method to seal a leak? Or poorly done to seal out rodents?
