Even using a sponge it gets lots of tiny scratches that make it look bad very quickly. Also, creating plexi is a less green process than glass. But Plexi scratches very easily.

Should be easier/safer to mount than a huge pane of glass. In front of a white wall or even painted white on the reverse side should work out great.

And I came to the same basic conclusion that there are really no green affordable options. That lead me to several options for getting the furniture that I needed. Ikea, craigslist (with me refinishing the piece as needed), used furniture/consignment shops (these are probably better in bigger cities) or me making something out of relatively cheap, and hopefully green materials. I am still looking, but have mostly decided on going the used furniture route(as it seems to the be the cheapest and greenest) until I can afford exactly what I want, which is probably some sort of modern Stickley, well built, solid wood, enduring. With that in mind, I love the idea of furniture from reclaimed construction waste. With a good designer and craftsman there are few limits to what could be built.

You do not need a CNC router to do it, just a handheld router with a pattern bit would do it. Any of your trim carpenters should be able to knock it out in a day. I will make a set sometime over the next couple of weeks and post my process. I took a look at the shelving plans, it is a really simple design.
