Ok, I have an idea. I'm trying it this weekend and I'll let you all know how it works and post a picture if I can figure out how. I am going to Lowes and get two laminated shelves, hopefully 10 x 24 if they make that size. I'll hook them together on the bottom with big staples ( are they called brads? ). I'm thinking I'll only have to cut a section out of one shelf depending on where they end up. Then, just put some sort of feet on it and voila it will be done and finished. No raw edges, nice and smooth for the fabric to slide over. Hope it works out. Should be cheap enough. I can't take total credit for this idea. I saw something similar on one of my searches.
