FAQs
Is the live edge on every shelf exactly the same?
No, each shelf features a unique live edge. The natural contours of the wood mean that no two shelves will have identical edges, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
What type of wood is used for the shelf?
The shelf is made from high-quality solid pine, sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
How is the shelf mounted? Is hardware included?
The shelf uses a floating mount system with concealed hardware. Mounting brackets are typically included, but you may need to supply screws and anchors suitable for your specific wall type.
What is the weight capacity of the shelf?
The weight capacity depends significantly on proper installation into wall studs. For the most secure mounting, always attach to studs. Consult a professional installer if you plan to load it heavily.
How should I clean and maintain the natural oak finish?
Dust regularly with a dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals. A wood polish or wax can be used occasionally to maintain its appearance.
Can I cut or modify the shelf?
While it is possible to cut solid wood, modifying the live edge or length will alter its intended rustic aesthetic and may affect structural integrity. It is generally recommended to use the shelf as intended.
Is this shelf suitable for a bathroom or kitchen?
While the shelf can be used in these areas, prolonged exposure to moisture and humidity may affect the solid wood over time. Ensure good ventilation and avoid direct contact with water.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is wobbly or loose.
Ensure the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall. Check if screws are tightened into wall studs or if heavy-duty anchors are properly installed and holding firm.
Visible gap between the shelf and the wall.
Verify that the mounting brackets are level and correctly positioned. Ensure the shelf is fully seated onto the brackets. Minor variations may occur due to the natural wood's shape.
Wood appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of furniture polish or wood wax designed for natural finishes. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore luster.
Mounting hardware is difficult to install.
Confirm you are using the correct drill bit size for pilot holes. If mounting into hard materials, ensure you have adequate tools. For drywall, double-check that you are using appropriate anchors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Locate Studs: For optimal support, locate wall studs using a stud finder. The shelf's mounting brackets should ideally be secured directly into studs.
- Mark Mounting Points: Hold the mounting hardware against the wall at your desired height and mark the screw hole locations.
- Install Brackets: Securely fasten the mounting brackets to the wall using appropriate screws. If studs are not available, use heavy-duty wall anchors suitable for the shelf's weight and intended load.
- Attach Shelf: Slide the solid pine shelf onto the installed brackets. Ensure it sits flush against the wall and is securely seated.
Compatibility:
- Wall Types: Compatible with drywall, plaster, and wood-paneled walls. Ensure appropriate mounting hardware is used for each type.
- Weight Capacity: While constructed from solid pine, the actual weight capacity depends heavily on the wall mounting and the integrity of the wall itself. Always mount into studs for heavier loads. Consult a professional if unsure.
Care:
- Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, then immediately dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- Maintenance: Periodically check mounting screws for tightness. The natural wood may be sensitive to direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Consider using coasters or mats for items that may leave moisture rings.
- Wood Treatment: The natural oak finish may benefit from occasional application of a suitable wood polish or wax, following product instructions.
