FAQs

What is a 'live edge' shelf?

A live edge refers to the natural, irregular edge of the wood left on the shelf, following the tree's contour. This preserves the wood's organic shape and adds a unique, rustic character.

Are the dimensions exact?

Due to the nature of solid wood and live edges, dimensions can vary. Each shelf is unique. Please refer to product descriptions for approximate size ranges.

What weight can the shelf support?

The shelf is constructed from solid pine, offering good support. However, the maximum weight capacity depends heavily on the quality and type of wall mounting hardware used and the wall structure itself. Always use appropriate fixings for your wall type and distribute weight evenly.

Do I need to seal or treat the wood?

The shelf comes with a natural oak finish. For day-to-day care, dusting and occasional wiping with a damp cloth are sufficient. If you wish to add extra protection or alter the sheen, you can use appropriate wood sealers or waxes, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Can this shelf be used outdoors?

This shelf is designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the wood and finish.

How is the shelf mounted?

The shelf is designed for a floating mount. It typically attaches to hidden internal brackets that are first secured to the wall. Specific mounting hardware may vary and should be chosen based on your wall type.

Will the color be exactly like the picture?

The natural oak finish aims for consistency, but due to the natural variations in solid wood grain and the unique live edge, the exact color tone and pattern will differ slightly from piece to piece.

Troubleshooting

Shelf is not level

Ensure the mounting brackets are installed perfectly level. Adjust the bracket position or use shims if necessary before fully securing the shelf.

Wobbling or instability

Verify that the mounting hardware is securely fastened to the wall and into studs if applicable. Ensure the shelf is fully seated onto the brackets.

Finish appears dull

Gently buff the surface with a soft cloth. For deeper nourishment, consider applying a suitable furniture wax designed for oak finishes, following product instructions.

Visible mounting hardware

This shelf is designed for hidden fixings. If hardware is visible, the shelf may not be correctly seated on its brackets. Re-seat the shelf carefully.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shelf is designed for a floating installation. Ensure you have appropriate wall mounting hardware suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, masonry). Locate wall studs for maximum support if mounting into drywall. Follow the included instructions carefully for securing the hidden brackets to the wall before attaching the shelf.

Compatibility: The shelf's natural oak finish and rustic live edge design are highly compatible with a wide range of interior styles, including rustic, farmhouse, bohemian, and even modern decor seeking an organic element. It can be mounted on most interior wall surfaces.

Care: To maintain the shelf's beauty, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the wood finish and the natural live edge. Protect the surface from direct heat and prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent fading or warping.
