FAQs
What is the weight capacity of the shelf?
The weight capacity varies depending on the length of the shelf and how securely it is mounted. Always refer to the specific product documentation or manufacturer's guidelines for the exact weight limit. Ensure mounting is done into wall studs or with heavy-duty anchors for maximum support.
How do I clean the live edge?
Clean the live edge with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the wood.
Are the shelves treated to prevent insect damage?
The product description focuses on the quality and sourcing of the pine. Specific treatments for insect prevention are not detailed. Proper care and avoiding conditions that attract pests are recommended.
Can I cut or alter the shelf?
While it is solid wood, altering the shelf, especially the live edge, is not recommended as it may compromise the structural integrity and aesthetic. If modifications are necessary, consult with a professional woodworker.
Does the shelf come with mounting hardware?
Typically, floating shelves come with the necessary mounting brackets. However, the specific screws or anchors needed for your wall type may not always be included and might need to be purchased separately.
Why does my shelf look different from the picture?
Each Chill House Live Edge Rustic Floating Shelf is unique due to the natural variations in solid wood and the live edge. The grain patterns, color tones, and exact shape of the live edge will differ, making your shelf one-of-a-kind.
What kind of wood is used?
The shelves are made from high-quality solid pine sourced from sustainable sawmills across Europe.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Loosen mounting screws slightly, adjust the shelf to level, and retighten screws. Ensure the mounting bracket is installed perfectly level.
Shelf appears unstable or wobbly
Verify that the shelf is properly seated on its mounting bracket and that all bracket screws are securely fastened to wall studs or appropriate anchors.
Wood shows signs of drying or cracking
Ensure the shelf is not placed near heat sources or in very dry environments. Consider using a wood conditioner specifically designed for solid wood furniture.
Mounting bracket is difficult to install
Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size for your screws and wall anchors. If mounting into studs, pre-drilling pilot holes can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
