FAQs
What is the maximum weight the shelf can hold?
The shelf can hold up to 20kg when mounted correctly on a solid wall.
Why does the depth vary?
The shelf features a 'live edge,' which is the natural, irregular edge of the tree. This means each shelf has unique dimensions, and the depth may vary slightly.
Can I cut the shelf to a different size?
While technically possible, cutting the shelf will disrupt the natural live edge and may affect the finish. It is not recommended if you wish to maintain the shelf's intended aesthetic.
What type of wood is used?
The shelves are made from high-quality solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
How should I clean the shelf?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Does the shelf come pre-drilled?
The shelf itself does not come pre-drilled. You will drill through the shelf into the brackets or wall as part of the installation process, depending on the bracket type.
How long does delivery take?
Shelves typically take 2-4 days to make and are then delivered free of charge. You will receive tracking updates.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is wobbly after mounting
Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened. Check that the shelf is properly seated on the brackets and that the brackets are securely fastened to the wall. If mounting on drywall without hitting studs, use appropriate heavy-duty anchors.
Wood appears dry or dull
Apply a coat of furniture wax polish suitable for pine. Allow it to dry and buff gently with a soft cloth for a restored sheen.
Fixings seem insufficient for wall type
The included fixings are for solid walls. For alternative wall types (e.g., plasterboard without studs), purchase appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors and screws from a hardware store.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack Carefully: Upon receiving your shelf, remove all packaging and allow the timber to acclimatize to its new environment for at least 24 hours. This helps the wood adjust to the room's humidity and temperature.
- Locate Studs: For optimal stability, it is highly recommended to fix the shelf into wall studs. Use a stud finder to locate these points.
- Mark and Drill: Position the mounting brackets (included) on the wall at your desired height. Mark the screw holes, then drill pilot holes.
- Secure Brackets: Attach the mounting brackets securely to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure they are level.
- Attach Shelf: Slide the shelf onto the brackets. Depending on the bracket design, you may need to secure it from underneath with small screws (also usually included).
Compatibility:
- Wall Types: This shelf is designed for solid wall types (e.g., brick, concrete). If mounting on drywall, ensure you are screwing directly into wall studs or using appropriate heavy-duty drywall anchors (not included).
- Environment: While finished with wax, prolonged exposure to high moisture environments (like direct shower spray) is not recommended.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wax finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to reapply a furniture wax polish to maintain the wood's lustre and protect the finish. Follow the wax manufacturer's instructions.
