FAQs
What type of wood is this shelf made from?
The shelf is handmade from high-quality, reclaimed solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
How is the shelf mounted?
This is a floating shelf, meaning the mounting hardware is concealed for a clean look. You will need to use appropriate wall fixings for your wall type and secure it firmly.
What are the dimensions of the shelf?
The product information does not specify exact dimensions, but it is described as having a 'chunky' design. Please refer to the product listing for specific size options.
Can I cut or alter the shelf?
While solid wood can be cut, altering the shelf will void any warranty and may affect its structural integrity and finish. It is recommended to use the shelf as intended.
How should I clean the Dark Oak finish?
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Is the Dark Oak finish natural or stained?
The shelf is finished in a rich Dark Oak colour, suggesting a stain or sealant has been applied to achieve this hue on the solid pine.
What is the weight capacity of the shelf?
Specific weight capacity is not provided, but as it's constructed from solid, reclaimed pine with a chunky design, it is built for substantial support when properly installed.
Troubleshooting
Shelf appears uneven or wobbly after installation.
Check that the wall fixings are fully tightened and appropriate for the wall type. Ensure the mounting bracket is securely attached to the wall and the shelf is properly seated on the bracket. Re-level and re-secure if necessary.
Finish seems dull or scratched.
Gently clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scratches, you may be able to use a small amount of wood polish or wax specifically designed for dark oak finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Wood shows signs of warping.
Ensure the shelf is not exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity. If warping is significant, consult the retailer for advice, as it may indicate an issue with the material or environmental conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure you have the appropriate wall fixings for your wall type (plasterboard, brick, etc.). Mark your desired shelf position, ensuring it is level. If your shelf came with pre-drilled holes or a mounting bracket, align these with your marks and secure firmly to the wall. Always follow the specific mounting instructions provided with your hardware to ensure a safe and stable installation.
Compatibility: This shelf is suitable for mounting on most standard wall types. Its substantial size and finish make it compatible with a wide range of interior design styles, from rustic to contemporary.
Care: To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the wood and finish. As this is a natural wood product, minor expansion and contraction with humidity changes are normal.
