Frequently Asked Questions

Will My Live Edge Shelf Look Just Like the one in the Images?

Each live edge shelf is crafted from a unique piece of solid wood, resulting in natural variations in grain, shape, and edge profile. Because the natural edge of the wood is preserved, shelf width may vary by up to 2" from the listed dimension. These natural characteristics are part of what makes every shelf one of a kind.

How Much Weight Can A Floating Shelf Hold?

Our shelves can hold up to 50lbs per stud.

How Deep Should My Shelf Be For Holding Plates?

We recommend 12 inch deep shelves to hold plates.

How Thick are The Shelf and Bracket?

Our shelves finish at about 1.75" thick. The brackets are 1.25" thick at the back.

Do You Make Corner Shelves?

We don't make corner shelves, though you can place two shelves into a corner in an L shape to mimic a corner shelf.

What Tools Do I Need To Install?

To install your shelf, you'll need a stud finder, a pencil, a level, and a drill.

Can I order a set that matches?

Yes. Order multiple shelves in the same wood and we'll cut them from related stock so your set looks like a family. Your per-shelf price also drops when you buy more than one.

Not sure which wood to pick?

Order a wood sample first, or book a free design consultation and we'll help you choose.
