Water Damaged Mdf Bookcase
Being an unemployed college student with 0 budget means that if I want something I have to make it with whatever's available. This is the best I could do with what I had.
What you will need
Two 105x20cm pieces of MDF for the sides
Five 20x45cm pieces of MDF for the shelves

Adding a couple pieces because it was wobbling a bit, this made it very sturdy

Final test with the heaviest weight in the house! The right thing to do would be to paint the whole thing but it's good enough for something I didn't spend money on.
