the height of my tallest furniture piece, in an arrangement that
encircles the room. The long span that is the window will require
a reinforcing beam set perpendicular and under the shelf, or it
will ultimately sag. The bridges themselves will be 2" Styrofoam,
with reinforcing layers affixed together with toothpicks and lami-
nated with white glue either above or below the base piece. A
single piece of 2" foam will show considerable deflection, but as
foam is built up in layers, it stiffens quite well.
