FAQs

What type of wood is used for these shelves?

The shelves are made from high-quality solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.

Are the shelves treated or finished?

Yes, each shelf is finished with a durable wax to protect and enhance the natural grain of the wood.

Will my shelf look exactly like the picture?

No, each shelf is handmade and features a unique live edge and natural wood grain. Expect variations in shape, size, and appearance, which contribute to its individual character.

What is a 'live edge'?

A live edge refers to the natural, irregular edge of the wood slab that remains on the shelf, showcasing the tree's original contour.

How much weight can the shelf hold?

The weight capacity depends significantly on the quality of the wall mounting and the hardware used. Ensure you use appropriate, strong fasteners and mount into wall studs for maximum support.

Is mounting hardware included?

Mounting hardware is typically not included, as different wall types require specific fixings. Please purchase appropriate hardware separately based on your wall's construction.

Can I cut or alter the shelf?

While possible, altering the shelf, especially the live edge, is not recommended as it can compromise the handmade aesthetic and finish. If necessary, proceed with caution and appropriate tools.

Troubleshooting

Shelf is wobbly or loose

Ensure the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall, ideally into studs. Check that the shelf is fully seated on the brackets and not shifting.

Wood appears dry or dull

Reapply a thin coat of clear wax polish suitable for furniture, following the product instructions. Buff gently after application.

Difficulty finding suitable mounting hardware

Consult a local hardware store for recommendations based on your wall type and the intended weight load of the shelf. Ensure brackets are compatible with floating shelf designs.

Visible cracks or splits in the wood

Minor, hairline cracks can be a natural characteristic of solid wood. For larger or concerning splits, consult a wood repair specialist or consider using a wood filler appropriate for the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it can support the shelf's weight.
  2. Locate Studs: For optimal support, locate wall studs using a stud finder.
  3. Mark and Drill: Mark your mounting points based on the shelf's intended position and drill pilot holes.
  4. Attach Brackets: Securely attach appropriate floating shelf brackets to the wall, ensuring they are level. Note: Mounting hardware is often sold separately and should be chosen based on your wall type (drywall, plaster, brick).
  5. Mount Shelf: Slide the shelf onto the installed brackets. Ensure it is flush and secure.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for mounting on most standard wall types (drywall, plaster, brick) with appropriate hardware.
  • Consider the weight capacity of the shelf and your chosen mounting system when placing heavier items.

Care:

  • Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Protect from excessive moisture and direct, prolonged sunlight, which can affect solid wood.
