Supplies:
plywood or craft wood, 3/4 in. thick
paint
paint brush
table saw
screws
Steps:
Measure the inside locker dimensions. Cut wood pieces using these dimensions. It is very important to test fit the shelves and make any necessary adjustments. They should fit snuggly into the locker.
You will need: 1 bottom shelf, 1 top shelf, 2 sides, 2 rails (for middle shelf), and 1 middle shelf.
Once all of the pieces fit properly, sand them to remove any splinters. Note: I predrilled the rails to make it easier to attach them.
Paint each piece. Sides that won't be visible do not need to be painted.

Place the bottom shelf into the locker.
Place the 2 sides into the locker.
Set the top shelf on top of the sides.
Attach one of the rails with screws. Be sure to select screws that will not go all the way through the sides, into the locker metal.
