Metal Shelves are a welded set of shelves that hang on a wall. The tooltip says they must be built on a wall.
They belong to Welding and sit in the Furniture section of the Building menu. They comes in several tiers, a Shoddy version and a finished version. Both use the same materials. Metal shelves can also be found already standing in houses.
Shelves store items in spots where a crate would not fit. They make good use of a narrow room or an empty stretch of wall.
How to Build Metal Shelves
Both tiers take a Welding Torch, Steel Sheet - Small, Iron Pipe, Scrap Metal and Welding Rods. The list is light for a welded build.
The Shoddy tier needs Welding level 3. The finished tier needs Welding level 9 and gives more Welding XP.
Both recipes must be learned first. Welder Monthly - May 1993 teaches them. The Welder occupation knows them from the start.
Each version of the Metal Shelves has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.
The Metal Shelves recipe builds the Metal Shelves (Shoddy). It needs Welding level 3. Building it gives 30 Welding XP. The recipe has to be learned first.

How to Use Metal Shelves
The shelves are a container. They hold a modest amount of gear. The fill shows on the shelves as items go in.
They must be placed against a wall. That keeps the floor clear for crates, workbenches and walking room.
Build Tiers
The Shoddy tier opens at Welding level 3. The finished tier needs level 9 and gives the cleaner look. Both cost the same, so switch to the finished tier once the skill allows.
Each version of the Metal Shelves is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.
