Full details

The Hudson Floating Box Shelf Kit in Black Gloss is ideal for homeowners seeking a stylish and practical storage solution to declutter and enhance their living space. Its primary benefit is creating a modern, floating aesthetic that maximizes wall space. A potential caveat is that its hollow core construction means it's best suited for lighter decorative items and display pieces rather than heavy loads. This shelf offers a durable foil finish, concealed metal hanging brackets for a seamless look, and a compact 24cm size perfect for various rooms.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this shelf can hold?

Due to its hollow core construction, this shelf is best suited for lighter decorative items. Specific weight limits are not provided, but it is recommended to avoid placing heavy objects on it to ensure stability and longevity.

Does this kit include wall mounting hardware?

The kit includes the concealed metal hanging brackets, but it typically does not include the screws and wall plugs, as these need to be appropriate for your specific wall type (e.g., brick, plasterboard). Please check the product packaging for exact contents.

Can I combine this shelf with other Hudson shelves?

Yes, the Hudson range is designed to be modular. You can combine this 24cm black gloss shelf with other available sizes, colours, and types (like corner shelves) from the Hudson collection to create a custom wall display.

How do I clean the gloss black finish?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Always dry the shelf immediately with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the shine.

What are the exact dimensions of the shelf?

The shelf dimensions are: Width 240mm, Depth 240mm, and Height 40mm.

Is this shelf available in other colours?

Yes, the Hudson shelving range is available in several colours, including Black, Cream, White, Walnut, and Oak.

Troubleshooting

Shelf is not level.

Loosen the wall fixings slightly, adjust the shelf until level, and then re-tighten the fixings securely. Ensure brackets were installed precisely.

Shelf feels wobbly or loose.

Check that the shelf is fully seated on the concealed brackets and that the brackets are firmly attached to the wall. Use stronger fixings if necessary for your wall type.

Weight capacity seems exceeded.

Remove some items. This shelf is designed for decorative items and lighter objects. Refer to product specifications for recommended weight limits if available.

Gloss finish is smudged or dirty.

Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the desired wall location. Ensure the wall is suitable for mounting and has no hidden electrical wires or pipes.
  2. Use the included concealed metal hanging brackets. Mark the bracket positions on the wall, ensuring they are level.
  3. Securely fasten the brackets to the wall using appropriate wall fixings (not always included, check packaging) for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick).
  4. Slide the shelf onto the mounted brackets until it sits flush against the wall.

Compatibility:

  • This shelf is designed to be mounted on solid walls. For plasterboard or hollow walls, appropriate heavy-duty fixings and possibly additional support may be required.

  • Part of the Core Shelving Collection, it can be combined with other Hudson shelves in various sizes and colours.

Care:

  • Periodically check wall fixings to ensure the shelf remains securely mounted.
