FAQs
What is the maximum weight this shelf can hold?
The maximum weight capacity depends heavily on the wall type and the fixings used. For optimal support, it's recommended to mount directly into wall studs. Consult a professional if you plan to load the shelf heavily.
How is the floating effect achieved?
The floating effect is achieved through hidden internal brackets that attach to the wall. The shelf then slides onto these brackets, concealing the hardware for a seamless look.
Can I cut the shelf to a different length?
While technically possible, cutting the shelf will alter its structure and may compromise the integrity of the floating mechanism and finish. It is not recommended.
How do I clean the walnut finish?
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes.
Is the wood treated for moisture?
The shelf is finished, but solid wood is best kept away from excessive moisture or direct heat sources to maintain its condition and prevent warping.
Are mounting screws included?
Mounting hardware suitability varies by wall type. Therefore, typically, wall-specific screws and anchors are not included, allowing users to select the most appropriate fixings for their home.
What are the dimensions of this specific shelf?
This variant measures approximately 6 inches in depth, 2 inches in thickness, and 210 cm in length.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Loosen the bracket screws slightly, adjust the shelf to be level, and then re-tighten the screws securely. Ensure the initial bracket placement was accurate.
Shelf feels unstable or wobbly
Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened into the wall or studs. If using drywall anchors, ensure they are rated for the shelf's intended load and are correctly installed.
Wood finish appears dull or dry
Lightly dust with a soft cloth. If a slight re-moisturizing is desired, use a wood care product specifically designed for finished pine, applying sparingly and buffing off any excess.
Visible screws after installation
Ensure the shelf was fully slid onto the brackets. Some floating shelf systems rely on the shelf's internal structure to cover fixings; verify the shelf is seated correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Locate Studs: For optimal support, locate wall studs using a stud finder. The shelf's mounting brackets should ideally be secured into studs.
Mark & Drill: Position the mounting brackets on the wall at your desired height, ensuring they are level. Mark the screw holes and drill pilot holes.
Attach Brackets: Securely fasten the mounting brackets to the wall using appropriate screws (ensure they are suitable for your wall type – drywall anchors may be needed if not mounting directly into studs).
Slide Shelf: Slide the solid pine shelf onto the mounted brackets until it sits flush against the wall.
Compatibility:
Wall Types: Compatible with most solid wall types (plasterboard with studs, brick, concrete). Always use appropriate fixings for your specific wall.
Weight Capacity: While robust, the actual weight capacity depends on the quality of installation and the type of wall fixings used. Consult with a professional if unsure.
Care:
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately.
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, or furniture polish, as these can damage the finish.
Keep away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent wood damage.
