FAQs
What type of wood is used for the shelf?
The shelf is made from high-quality solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
Is the shelf finished or unfinished?
Each shelf is hand-finished to enhance the natural beauty of the wood.
Does the shelf come with mounting hardware?
No, the shelf does not include mounting hardware or brackets, as these need to be selected based on your wall type and the weight capacity required.
Why does my shelf look different from the picture?
Due to the natural live edge and wood grain, each shelf is unique. Variations in color, knots, and edge shape are normal and contribute to its rustic charm.
What is the weight capacity of the shelf?
The weight capacity depends on the quality and strength of the mounting hardware and the wall structure. Always use appropriate anchors and ensure secure installation.
Can this shelf be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
While it can be used in these areas, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water contact. Ensure proper ventilation and consider using protective coasters for wet items.
How should I clean the shelf?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Shelf appears uneven or wobbly after installation.
Ensure the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall and are perfectly level. Check that the shelf is fully seated on the brackets and that any securing screws (if applicable) are tightened.
Wood shows minor cracking or splitting.
Small hairline cracks can occur naturally with solid wood due to environmental changes. If the crack is significant or concerning, contact customer support. Ensure the environment is not too dry.
Difficulty in finding suitable mounting hardware.
Consult a hardware store professional for advice on the best anchors and brackets for your specific wall type (e.g., studs, drywall, masonry) and the desired weight load.
Surface finish seems dull or scratched.
For minor scratches, a wood polish designed for natural wood finishes may help. For deeper damage, consider a light refinishing with appropriate wood stain and sealant, following manufacturer guidelines.
