FAQs
What is the primary material of this shelf?
The shelf is crafted from high-quality solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
What does 'live edge' mean?
The 'live edge' refers to the natural, unaltered edge of the wood as it came from the tree. This means each shelf will have a unique, organic border.
Does the shelf come with mounting hardware?
Typically, floating shelves do not include mounting hardware. You will need to purchase heavy-duty floating shelf brackets appropriate for the shelf's size, weight, and your specific wall type.
What is the finish on the shelf?
The shelf has an antique pine finish, which enhances its rustic appeal and the natural grain of the wood.
How should I clean the shelf?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, Chill House offers this Live Edge Rustic Floating Shelf in various lengths, including 80 cm, 90 cm, 170 cm, 180 cm, 200 cm, and 250 cm, some with an antique pine finish.
Can this shelf be used outdoors?
This shelf is designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the solid wood and finish.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Adjust the mounting brackets. If already installed, you may need to remove the shelf, reposition the brackets, and reinstall.
Shelf appears to sag or bow
Check the weight distribution on the shelf; ensure it's not overloaded. Verify that the mounting brackets are securely installed and rated for the load. Consider adding additional support if necessary.
Wood shows signs of drying or cracking
This can occur with significant changes in humidity. Ensure the shelf is not exposed to direct heat sources or extreme dryness. Apply a suitable wood conditioner or wax to help stabilize the wood.
Mounting brackets are loose
Tighten screws or bolts securing the brackets to the wall. Ensure they are anchored into wall studs or use appropriate heavy-duty anchors for the wall type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, considering the shelf's 210 cm length and the weight it will support. Ensure the wall structure is capable of handling the load.
Mounting Hardware: Use appropriate heavy-duty floating shelf brackets (not typically included) rated for the shelf's weight and length. Follow the bracket manufacturer's installation instructions precisely.
Marking: Use a level to mark the bracket positions on the wall. Ensure marks are accurate for a straight installation.
Install Brackets: Securely fasten the brackets to the wall studs or use robust wall anchors suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick).
Attach Shelf: Slide the shelf onto the installed brackets. Ensure it sits flush and securely.
Compatibility:
Wall Types: Compatible with most standard wall types (drywall, plaster, brick, concrete), provided the correct mounting hardware and anchors are used.
Weight Limit: Consult the specifications of your chosen mounting brackets for precise weight limitations. The shelf itself is substantial, but its support system dictates its load capacity.
Care:
Cleaning: 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.
Maintenance: Solid wood can expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature. Avoid placing in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity (e.g., bathrooms, unconditioned basements).
Protection: Reapply a wood polish or wax suitable for antique pine finishes periodically to maintain its appearance and protect the wood.
