Full details
This guide is for homeowners and decorators seeking a natural, rustic aesthetic for their living spaces. The key benefit is adding unique, handcrafted charm to any wall with a durable, solid pine shelf.

This shelf offers a blend of functionality and natural beauty, featuring high-quality solid pine, a Dark Oak wax finish, and included fixings, designed to hold up to 20kg.

FAQs
What is the holding weight capacity of the shelf?
The Chill House Solid Pine Floating Shelf can hold up to 20kg when properly installed on a suitable wall.
How do I clean the shelf?
Clean the shelf using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For ongoing maintenance, a light application of furniture wax can be used annually.
Can this shelf be used in a bathroom?
While the Dark Oak wax finish offers some protection, bathrooms have high humidity. It is best suited for drier environments. If used in a bathroom, ensure good ventilation and apply extra care with cleaning and moisture.
Are the dimensions exact?
The listed dimensions are approximate. Due to the natural live edge of the solid pine, the exact length and depth may vary slightly from piece to piece, adding to its unique character.
What type of wood is used?
The shelf is made from high-quality solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
What is included with the shelf?
The shelf comes with the solid pine floating shelf, the necessary hidden mounting hardware, and all required fixings for installation on solid walls.
How long does it take to make the shelf?
Each shelf takes approximately 2-4 days to make, ensuring it is carefully crafted and ready for use upon arrival.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level after installation.
Loosen the wall fixings slightly, adjust the shelf to be level, and then re-tighten the fixings securely. Ensure the wall brackets were installed perfectly level.
Included fixings do not seem suitable for my wall type.
This shelf is designed for solid walls. If you have plasterboard or other wall types, you will need to purchase appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors and screws suitable for your specific wall construction and the shelf's weight capacity.
Wood appears to have minor imperfections or variations.
This is normal due to the live edge and natural solid pine construction. These variations contribute to the unique character of the shelf. Minor surface scratches can often be buffed out with appropriate furniture wax.
Shelf feels wobbly after mounting.
Check that the shelf is fully seated on its mounting bracket and that all wall fixings are tight and secure. Ensure the bracket itself is firmly attached to the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the shelf carefully and allow it to acclimatize to your home's environment for 24-48 hours before installation. This helps the timber adjust to the new humidity and temperature.
- Identify the appropriate mounting points on your wall. This shelf is designed for solid wall types (e.g., brick, concrete). For plasterboard or stud walls, appropriate alternative fixings (not included) will be required.
- Use the included fixings to attach the mounting hardware to the wall, ensuring it is level.
- Slide the shelf onto the mounting hardware. The hidden bracket system provides a clean, floating appearance.
Compatibility:
- Wall Types: Primarily recommended for solid masonry walls. If mounting on other wall types, consult a professional or use appropriate, heavy-duty anchors.
- Weight Limit: Maximum holding weight is 20kg. Do not overload the shelf.
Care:
- Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the wax finish.
- Re-wax periodically (e.g., annually) with a suitable furniture wax to maintain the finish and protect the wood.
