FAQs

What type of wood is used for this shelf?

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

What is the maximum weight capacity of this shelf?

The weight capacity depends heavily on the wall mounting method and the integrity of the wall structure. Always mount into wall studs and use heavy-duty, appropriate hardware. Consult a professional if unsure.

Does the shelf come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware is typically not included as the type of hardware needed depends on your specific wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick). Brackets are usually required and sold separately.

How should I clean the shelf?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.

Can this shelf be cut to a different size?

While technically possible, cutting solid wood can lead to a rough edge and may compromise the finish. It is recommended to purchase a size that fits your needs.

Are there other sizes or colors available?

Yes, this rustic chunky floating shelf is available in various lengths and finishes. Please check the product catalog for other options.

What does 'sustainably sourced' mean for the wood?

It means the wood comes from forests managed in a way that ensures environmental, social, and economic sustainability, helping to preserve biodiversity and forest health.

Troubleshooting

Shelf is not level

Check the wall brackets for proper alignment and ensure they are securely fastened. Adjust bracket placement if necessary before re-mounting the shelf.

Shelf feels unstable or wobbly

Verify that the shelf is mounted directly into wall studs and that all mounting hardware is tightened securely. Ensure the correct type of screws and anchors for your wall material were used.

Visible imperfections in the wood

This is normal for solid wood products. Natural variations in grain, knots, and slight color differences are characteristic of real wood and not considered defects.

Shelf appears to be sagging over time

This may indicate the weight limit has been exceeded or the initial mounting was not sufficiently robust. Reinforce the mounting points or reduce the load on the shelf.

Cons

  • The significant length requires careful installation to ensure stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Locate Wall Studs: Due to the shelf's length and weight, it is crucial to locate wall studs for secure mounting. Use a stud finder.
  2. Mark Mounting Points: Measure and mark the desired height, ensuring the marks align with the center of the studs.
  3. Install Brackets: Securely attach appropriate floating shelf brackets to the wall studs using heavy-duty screws suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster).
  4. Attach Shelf: Slide the shelf onto the installed brackets. Ensure a snug fit. Some shelves may require additional screws from underneath into the bracket for extra security.

Compatibility:

This shelf is designed for mounting on standard interior walls. Ensure you use mounting hardware and brackets that are rated for the shelf's weight capacity and the intended load. It is compatible with solid wood, plaster, and drywall construction when proper anchoring techniques are employed.

Care:

  • Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
  • Avoid placing in areas of extreme humidity or direct, prolonged sunlight which can affect solid wood.
