I'm sure he'll just make another one...
Im fine, my knee took the weight of the fall.The piece of split through I could glue it but its better to just make a new piece

I can definitely make one to fit a full size though

Give me a few days to see if my idea will work (dowels), if all us good I will be more than happy to make you a setup
You could maybe do those metal corner braces--4 per shelf, in case there's a very heavy monitor. Easier than using dowels, perhaps.http://www.homedepot.com/s/corner%2520brace?NCNI-5

Ive got a test piece in clamps right now, and I will let it dry a few days and do various drop tests to see if it stays together
Recently I made a wrist rest for JDCarpe (seen below) and I surprised him by making a monitor stand as well and sending him a combo set (pics below), sadly USPS damaged the box and broke one "leg" off of the monitor stand (JDCarpe is currently trying to fix it). Here are some of MY pics before I sent it outWrist Rest glossShow ImageMonitor Stand glossShow ImageTogetherShow ImageShow ImageAs mentioned in previous messages, I am currently experimenting with wooden dowels to see if that will make the piece even sturdier (I had NO issues with just glue, but evidently USPS likes to play football with packages)
It's total BS because the box had bubble wrap and packing paper, and the outside was COVERED in "DO NOT DROP!! VERY FRAGILE!!" wording

I only brought those up because my monitors are heavy 27" with tempered glass, so when I was making a similar shelf in the past, I had to make it extra strong. It's really a matter of how much weight they will be made to support and overall size.
