FAQs
What type of wood is used for this shelf?
The shelf is crafted from solid, high-quality pine timber, sustainably sourced from sawmills across Europe.
Is the live edge consistent across all shelves?
No, each shelf features a unique live edge, reflecting the natural contours of the wood. This means the exact shape and texture will vary from shelf to shelf.
What is the finish on the shelf?
The shelf has an antique pine finish, described as a dark oak in an antique pine hue.
What are the dimensions of this shelf?
This specific variant is 40 cm in length. Other lengths are available separately.
Does the shelf come with mounting hardware?
Mounting hardware such as screws and wall anchors are not typically included, as the correct type depends on your specific wall construction.
Can this shelf be used in a bathroom?
While it can be used in a bathroom, care must be taken to protect it from excessive moisture due to its solid wood construction.
How much weight can the shelf support?
The shelf is designed for decorative items and modest storage. Actual weight capacity depends heavily on the quality of the wall mounting and the type of wall it is attached to. It is recommended to distribute weight evenly and avoid overloading.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Loosen the screws slightly, adjust the shelf until level, and re-tighten securely. Ensure mounting brackets are installed accurately.
Shelf feels unstable after mounting
Check that all screws are fully tightened into the wall anchors. If using drywall, ensure anchors are rated for the weight and are properly installed. Consider using heavier-duty fixings if necessary.
Wood finish appears dull
Lightly buff the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For a slight restoration, a wax polish suitable for wood can be applied sparingly, following product instructions.
Visible crack or split in the wood
Minor hairline cracks can be a natural characteristic of solid wood. For larger splits, consult a wood repair specialist or carefully fill with wood filler, matching the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shelf is designed to be mounted on a wall. Ensure you have appropriate wall anchors and screws suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick). Mark your desired location, ensuring it is level. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall first, then attach the shelf to the bracket. It is recommended to consult a professional if you are unsure about wall mounting procedures.
Compatibility: The shelf's rustic aesthetic makes it highly compatible with farmhouse, rustic, bohemian, and traditional interior design styles. It can be mounted on most standard wall types, provided the correct fixings are used.
Care: To maintain the shelf's appearance, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the wood finish and the timber itself. Protect the shelf from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent warping or cracking.
