As is, each board appears to be 3/4" thick. To keep the profile looking the same I thought about applying a walnut veneer on top to hide the "hack job" since adding more thickness with wood would require a lot more work to camouflage from all sides and the front. Thanks for your input. | |

Anyway, just one more thought for your problem: How thick is the top shelf? would it be possible to come at it from above and cut a groove all the way thru? Then screw a board on top, over the groove to attach the lamp to. Yeah, it's getting to be a hack job, but I can't think of anything else. | |

I just measured the distance from top to bottom within the shelves and only have 9.5" of height to work with. I am concerned most tools might be too big to fit into the space to create a slot. Just thought I'd toss this extra info out there since it's important. | |
