FAQs
What type of wood is used for these shelves?
The shelves are handmade from high-quality solid pine, often utilizing reclaimed scaffold boards sourced from sustainable European sawmills.
Are the shelves finished or unfinished?
The description suggests a natural aesthetic, implying a finished but natural look. Specific finishes may vary based on the 'Brown' colour family, but generally, they aim to highlight the wood's natural beauty.
How is the shelf mounted?
These are floating shelves, typically mounted using concealed brackets that attach to the wall, allowing the shelf to appear as if it's floating.
Can I choose the exact appearance of the wood grain?
Due to the use of solid and reclaimed wood, each shelf has unique natural variations in grain and texture. No two shelves are exactly alike.
What is the weight capacity of the shelf?
The weight capacity depends heavily on the secure installation of the mounting brackets to the wall. A robust construction from solid pine suggests good load-bearing capability when properly installed.
Are these shelves suitable for a bathroom?
While the pine is solid, it's best to avoid excessively humid environments like bathrooms unless the shelf is properly sealed and maintained, as moisture can affect natural wood over time.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Adjust the wall-mounted brackets. Ensure they are securely fastened and leveled before attaching the shelf.
Wobbly shelf
Check that the shelf is fully seated on the mounting brackets and that the brackets themselves are firmly attached to the wall. Ensure appropriate fixings for your wall type were used.
Wood finish appears dry
Apply a small amount of furniture wax or a wood conditioner suitable for pine. Buff gently with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have appropriate wall fixings suitable for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick). Mount the concealed brackets securely to the wall, ensuring they are level. Slide the shelf onto the brackets until it sits flush against the wall.
Compatibility: This shelf is designed to be mounted on most standard wall types. Ensure the weight of items displayed does not exceed the shelf's load-bearing capacity, which depends on secure mounting.
Care: Clean the shelf with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wood finish. For deeper cleaning or to maintain the finish, a light application of beeswax polish can be used periodically.
