Omg. A total "DUH!" moment. I am going to try this with a shelf that's been sitting in a corner for months...

Isn't melamine opaque? Maybe you meant acrylic?

I made a similar setup in my kitchen sink using two glasses, only I used a dish instead of a shelf. I use this shelf to display favorite cutlery...

It doesn't seem to be saving a lot of space.

I have those same acrylic tumblers (yup it's acrylic). Love that Target.
