Pottery Barn swing shelf knock off

Eli's nursery is coming up very well. Yesterday I finished making this swing shelf; a Pottery Barn knock off. I love PB; the prices not so much, but they always have fun stuff like this.

My inspiration from Pottery Barn Kids

Here is what you need:
Drill driver
Shelf
1/4" Sisal rope
2 Robe hooks

I used my drill driver and this 1/2" flat bit with a double-spur design
Drill a hole in each corner of the shelf. The 1/2 holes worked perfect with my 1/4" rope
I cut out 2 ropes each measuring 20". Closer to the hook, I used a tiny sisal and tied it around several times. Then I put some wood glue on all the knots. It feels pretty sturdy and looks good.
This shelf costs $69. It cost me $11 to make. I had the shelf laying around, just got the rope and hooks
