The shelf is handmade from high-quality, solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe, specifically using reclaimed scaffold board.
What is the finish color?
The shelf is finished in a beautiful walnut color.
How is the shelf mounted?
The shelf is designed for floating installation, meaning the mounting brackets are concealed within the shelf itself for a clean look. Wall fixings are required and depend on your wall type.
Are the dimensions exact?
As this is a handmade item from solid wood, slight variations in exact dimensions may occur.
Can I place heavy items on this shelf?
The shelf is sturdy due to its solid wood construction. However, its weight capacity depends heavily on secure installation into wall studs or using appropriate heavy-duty anchors.
Will my shelf look exactly like the picture?
Due to the natural variations in solid wood, especially reclaimed wood, each shelf will have unique grain patterns and slight color differences, making it one-of-a-kind.
What is the best way to clean the shelf?
Wipe the shelf with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Loosen the mounting bracket screws slightly, adjust the shelf to be level using a spirit level, and then re-tighten the screws securely.
Shelf feels loose or unstable
Ensure the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the wall. Check that appropriate fixings for your wall type have been used and are properly installed. Verify that the shelf is fully engaged with the bracket.
Difficulty finding wall studs
If studs are unavailable, use heavy-duty toggle bolts or sleeve-type drywall anchors rated for a weight significantly higher than what you intend to place on the shelf. Always consult anchor manufacturer guidelines.
Wood appears dry or dull
You can apply a suitable wood polish or oil designed for finished furniture to maintain its appearance. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
