    I made this and am really happy with it! I would add a few details to this post, though:

    1) I used smaller rope so I had 3 strings. I drilled a hold that was 3/8″ and it worked perfectly. Gluing the ends was key!
    2) I recommend you either score the wood before you drill (on both sides) or drill down from the top side of the shelf. I drilled from the bottom and the wood splintered so I had to flip my shelf upside down in the end.
    3) I needed WAY more than 20″ of rope! I ended up cutting rope that was 40″ long so that when I put it through the holes and tied it I could shorten to the right length. When I did 20″ at first I wasn’t even able to put my yoga mat through it!
