FAQs
What material is the shelf made from?
The shelf is crafted from high-quality solid pine sourced from sustainable European sawmills.
What is the 'live edge' design?
The live edge design means the shelf retains the natural, irregular edge of the tree's trunk, providing a unique, organic look.
How do I clean the shelf?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Can I use this shelf outdoors?
This shelf is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the wood.
Will my shelf look exactly like the picture?
Due to the natural live edge design and solid wood construction, each shelf will have unique variations in its shape, grain, and edge profile. This ensures your shelf is one-of-a-kind.
What is the weight capacity of the shelf?
While specific weight limits vary based on mounting, solid wood shelves are generally robust. Always use appropriate wall fixings and distribute weight evenly.
What does 'dark oak effect' mean?
This refers to the finish applied to the pine wood to give it the appearance and color of dark oak, providing an old-world aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level.
Check the wall mounting brackets for proper alignment. Adjust screws if necessary or consider shimming behind the bracket if the wall is uneven.
Wobbling or instability.
Ensure all mounting screws are securely tightened into the wall or wall studs. Verify that the correct type of fixings for your wall material have been used.
Finish appears dull.
Wipe the shelf with a slightly damp cloth. For a restored sheen, consider using a specialized wood polish suitable for dark oak finishes, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Wood appears to be warping.
Check the environment for excessive humidity or temperature fluctuations. Ensure the shelf is not overloaded and is properly supported. Move away from heat sources or humid areas if possible.
