Cloth hangs down from the back and from all the side of the shelf to create a semi-enclosure at the head of the bed. If your shelf is deep then you can suspend down lights in a lower place for reading in bed.

Crown: Crown canopy is very similar to the shelf bed. They stand over the head of the bed but, shelf bed runs the entire width of the bed and cloth hangs straight. And crown canopy is much restricted in length than the width of the bed.
