FAQs
What material is this shelf made from?
The shelf is crafted from solid European Pine, sourced from sustainable sawmills.
What are the dimensions of this shelf?
This specific variant is 40 cm in length.
How is the shelf mounted?
It features a floating design, meaning the mounting hardware is concealed within the shelf itself or attaches to hidden brackets, creating a seamless look.
Can I use this shelf in a bathroom?
While possible, solid wood can be sensitive to high humidity. It's recommended to ensure good ventilation and avoid direct moisture. Regular maintenance with appropriate wood care products is advised.
What is the weight capacity of the shelf?
The weight capacity depends on the secureness of the wall mounting. It's designed for decorative items and moderate weight. Always ensure the fixings are appropriate for your wall type and the load you intend to place on it.
Does the 'Chunky Old Slab Dark' finish mean it's rough?
The finish provides a rustic aesthetic with a substantial look. While it has character, the surface is typically smoothed for practical use, though variations in wood grain are natural.
How should I clean the shelf?
Clean using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the wood or its finish.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Ensure mounting brackets are installed perfectly level using a spirit level. Adjust bracket position if necessary before fully tightening.
Shelf feels unstable
Verify that the shelf is securely attached to the mounting brackets and that the brackets are firmly fixed to the wall. Check if mounted into studs or if appropriate anchors were used for the wall type.
Finish appears dull or scratched
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For minor scratches or dullness, apply a suitable wood polish or wax designed for dark finishes. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
