These solid wood floating shelves are built from true 2-inch-thick lumber, giving them a substantial look and feel that\'s very different from hollow or thin manufactured shelving.
Each shelf is individually built and finished by me, with a hand-sculpted front edge that softens the profile and gives the wood a more natural, finished appearance.
The result is a clean, substantial shelf that works equally well in a kitchen, living room, office, entryway, coffee bar, or display wall.
TRUE 2\" SOLID WOOD
These are made from real solid lumber.
- True 2\" finished thickness
- Solid wood construction
- No MDF or hollow core
- Hand-shaped front edge
- Individually built and finished
- Handmade in New York
- Sourced from a local independent sawmill in the same New York community where the shelves are made
The extra thickness gives these shelves real visual presence without requiring visible brackets or supports.
SIZES & FINISHES
Choose the size that works for your space:
- Lengths: 18\", 24\", 30\", 36\", 42\", 48\", 60\" and 72\"
- Depths: 8\", 10\" and 12\"
- Finishes: Natural, Ashy Tan, Early American and Roasted Coffee
Shelves are sold individually, so you can use one shelf or combine several to create a complete wall layout.
Need a different size? Send me a message. Custom sizing is often available, including longer shelves.
HIDDEN MOUNTING SYSTEM
Each shelf includes our hidden mounting system and installation hardware.
- No visible brackets
- Designed to mount securely into wall studs
- Integrated locking system holds the shelf firmly in position
- Clean floating appearance after installation
For the strongest installation, mounting into multiple studs is preferred. Installation requirements can vary depending on shelf size, wall construction and intended use.
CLEAN, NATURAL SOLID WOOD
This line is made for customers who want the warmth and character of real wood without the nail holes and heavier weathering found in our reclaimed barnwood shelves.
You get natural grain, subtle character and a cleaner, more consistent appearance that works with modern, farmhouse, traditional and transitional interiors.
Because this is genuine solid wood, natural grain and slight color variation should be expected.
Shelves ordered together are selected and finished to coordinate as closely as possible.
BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE
These aren\'t meant to be decorative props.
They\'re substantial solid wood shelves designed for practical uses such as:
- Books and collectibles
- Kitchen dishes and everyday storage
- Coffee bars
- Living room displays
- Office shelving
- Entryway storage
Proper installation into suitable wall framing is important, particularly with longer shelves or heavier loads.
MADE ONE AT A TIME
Every shelf is individually cut, shaped, sanded, finished and assembled rather than coming from a mass-production line.
That means you\'ll see the natural differences that belong in real wood, while shelves purchased together are matched as closely as possible for a consistent installation.
