Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and interior decorators seeking a unique, natural element for their living spaces. The key benefit is its distinct live edge design, adding rustic charm and character.

This solid pine floating shelf, measuring 60cm in length, offers a blend of natural beauty and practical storage, featuring a dark oak wax finish and included fixings for solid wall types, with a holding weight of up to 20kg.

FAQs

What type of wood is used for the shelf?

The shelf is made from high-quality solid pine, sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.

Why does my shelf look different from the picture?

Each shelf features a unique live edge and natural wood grain. Variations in size, shape, and pattern are expected and are part of the natural beauty of the timber.

Can this shelf be used in a bathroom?

While the wax finish offers some protection, bathrooms can have high humidity. We recommend ensuring good ventilation and avoiding direct moisture contact to preserve the wood.

How long will it take to receive my shelf?

Shelves typically take 2-4 days to make before they are ready to be shipped.

What is the maximum weight the shelf can hold?

The shelf is designed to hold up to 20kg when properly mounted on a solid wall.

What is the depth of the shelf?

The nominal depth is 29cm, but this may vary slightly due to the natural, live edge characteristic of the wood.

Can I request a specific grain pattern?

Due to the natural variations in timber, specific grain patterns cannot be requested. Each shelf is unique.

Troubleshooting

Shelf appears uneven after mounting.

Loosen the fixings slightly, use a spirit level to adjust, and then re-tighten securely. Ensure mounting points were accurate and level.

Fixings do not seem secure in the wall.

If mounting into plasterboard, ensure you are using wall plugs correctly or have located studs. If unsure, consult a professional or use heavier-duty fixings suitable for your wall type.

Wood shows signs of damage or warping.

Ensure the shelf has acclimated to the room's environment. Avoid placing in areas of extreme humidity or temperature fluctuations. Minor variations are normal for natural wood.

The live edge has a rough section.

Natural live edges can have minor imperfections. You can very gently sand down any sharp points with fine-grit sandpaper if necessary, taking care not to alter the natural character.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Unique, natural live edge adds significant character.
Made from durable, sustainably sourced solid pine.
Includes all necessary fixings for straightforward installation on solid walls.
Stylish dark oak finish complements rustic and natural decor.
Robust weight capacity for displaying decorative items or books.

Cons

Size and grain patterns will vary due to the natural wood, making precise matching difficult.
Requires solid wall types for secure mounting; not suitable for all wall constructions.
2-4 day production time means it's not an instant purchase.
Depth may vary slightly due to the live edge, which could affect placement of very deep items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Inspect: Upon arrival, carefully remove all packaging. Allow the shelf to acclimate to its new environment for at least 24 hours before installation.
Locate Studs (Recommended): For optimal stability on solid walls, it is recommended to locate wall studs using a stud finder.
Mark Positions: Hold the shelf or its mounting bracket against the wall at the desired height. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight and mark the drilling points.
Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the included wall plugs and screws.
Insert Fixings: Insert the provided wall plugs into the drilled holes (if not mounting directly into studs).
Attach Bracket (if applicable): Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided screws.
Mount Shelf: Slide the shelf onto the bracket or secure it directly to the wall as per the specific fixing mechanism provided.

Compatibility:

Wall Type: Primarily designed for solid wall types (e.g., brick, concrete, plasterboard with studs). Not recommended for hollow walls without appropriate reinforcement or specialized fixings not included.
Weight Limit: Ensure the total weight of displayed items does not exceed 20kg.

Care:

Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the wood finish.
Maintenance: The wax finish may require reapplication over time to maintain its appearance and protection. Refer to specific wax product instructions.
