FAQs
What is the weight capacity of this shelf?
The weight capacity depends heavily on the mounting method used and the type of wall. When properly mounted into wall studs with suitable brackets, it can support a significant amount of weight for decorative items. Always use appropriate, heavy-duty mounting hardware rated for the intended load.
What type of wood is used?
The shelf is handmade from solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
Does the shelf come with mounting hardware?
This product listing is for the shelf itself. Appropriate mounting hardware for floating shelves is typically sold separately and should be chosen based on your wall type and the intended load.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, this Rustic Chunky Floating Shelf is available in various lengths, including 50 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm, 140 cm, 150 cm, and 240 cm, all in the Natural Oak finish.
How should I clean the shelf?
Clean the shelf using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the wood finish.
Can I paint or stain this shelf?
While possible, this shelf is finished in Natural Oak to showcase the wood's natural beauty. Painting or staining may alter the appearance and texture significantly and could void any product warranty.
What does 'reclaimed scaffold design' mean?
This refers to the style and construction of the shelf, mimicking the robust, industrial look of traditional scaffolding. It is handmade with this aesthetic in mind, using solid wood.
Troubleshooting
Shelf appears wobbly after mounting
Ensure the shelf is fully seated on the brackets and that the brackets themselves are securely fastened to the wall, ideally into studs. Check that the correct mounting hardware for your wall type has been used.
Visible imperfections or variations in the wood
This is normal for handmade solid wood furniture. Natural variations in grain, knots, and color are characteristic of the material and contribute to its rustic charm. No action is typically required unless the variation is severe damage.
Difficulty finding compatible mounting hardware
Floating shelf brackets are widely available at hardware stores. Select a system rated for the weight you intend to place on the shelf and compatible with your wall type. Consult store staff if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Locate Wall Studs: For optimal stability, especially with heavier loads, it is highly recommended to mount the shelf directly into wall studs.
- Mark and Drill: Use a level to mark the desired position. Pre-drill holes for mounting hardware, ensuring they align with your chosen mounting method.
- Attach Brackets: Securely attach the appropriate floating shelf brackets (sold separately or provided, depending on the specific mounting kit) to the wall.
- Mount Shelf: Slide the shelf onto the brackets, ensuring it is flush with the wall and securely fitted.
Compatibility:
- This shelf is designed to be mounted on standard drywall, plaster, or wood-paneled walls. Ensure you use appropriate hardware for your wall type.
- The shelf's internal structure is designed to accommodate standard floating shelf mounting systems.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- Maintenance: Periodically check that the mounting hardware remains secure. Natural wood may expand or contract slightly with humidity changes.
