Finally, a week ago I was able to put everything together and fixed the shelves on the wall.

Cutting the back to fit the shape, nailing it onto the wood, etc, all went OK (but not perfect, as I did not realize that the space is so tight in some corners,; it was almost impossible to screw in the wall supports!). I guess it took about 2 hours to put all the wall supports in place on the violin shelf.
