The amount of weight a floating shelf can hold varies depending on things like the quality of the installation, the structure of the wall the shelf is attached to, size of the shelf, and how the weight is distributed. Our floating shelves are very strong and can hold a lot of weight. I recently put about 150lbs on one shelf and it held fine. That doesn’t mean a shelf attached to your wall will hold the same, it might hold twice that much or nothing at all. Our floating shelves require professional installation. Your contractor should be able to give you a good idea of what a shelf attached to your wall can hold once he they have seen the installation guide video.

Our shelves are finished with clear low-sheen conversion varnish. It is a high-grade finish used by quality cabinet builders and furniture makers around the globe. If you plan to use another finish, stain, oil, or use any other finish of your choice, you may select the “unfinished” checkbox when entering your order and your shelves will be delivered unfinished raw wood.

Large pieces of solid hardwood cannot be relied on to stay flat and straight. It must be assembled in some type of structure that will influence it to stay that way. For floating shelves specifically, the cross-grain layers of  plywood core are better suited to the application. Nearly all the furniture-grade plywood we buy is made in the USA from domestic raw materials, with the exception of the face veneers on the Bamboo, Teak, and African Mahogany. Those trees only grow in other parts of the world. The core material of most of our panels we specify domestic material from either Columbia Forest Products or Murphy, depending on availability. The teak and bamboo core material is imported Baltic birch.

Yes, we ship orders to Canada.

Please read carefully.

We offer free shipping on orders within the contiguous United States. Shipping to Canada costs a bit more, that amount will be automatically added to your order at checkout. The shipping charge includes the customs brokerage fee charged by FedEx International Ground. It does not include any of the taxes that will be collected by the Canadian government.

The Canadian government will assess a tax at the border and bill you separately. The added taxes are 100% your responsibility.

Our shelves are made in USA using 100% material of USA origin except for the teak, bamboo, and African mahogany materials are from mixed sources both foreign and domestic. We provide USMCA/T-MEC/CUSMA certificate of origin with all export shipments.

Our shelves can be configured in an L-shape on either an inside or outside corner. Please refer to the corner floating shelves page for more information on this topic.

Yes, of course floating shelves can be used in the kitchen!

Our floating shelf design is plenty strong enough to hold stacks of dishes or just about anything you decide to load them up with.

These shelves require professional installation, it is not a weekend DIY sort of job. Please refer to the installation guide video.

Yes, of course floating shelves can be used in a bathroom! These are not designed for use in a wet location like inside a shower or as a countertop for a vessel sink, though certainly can be used in a properly ventilated bathroom. Our wood shelves are finished with the same conversion varnish we use on quality custom cabinetry and furniture for kitchen and bath use.  The simple answer is anywhere you would normally place wood cabinetry is also acceptable for the shelves.

No. You might be OK if the shelves are shallow. If they are just ledges, like 6″ deep, it might work okay. If you aim to put deeper shelves and use it as a book shelf or anything heavy, then forget it. You need to open up the wall and add blocking, wood studs, or another suitable bracing to attach to, as well as stiffen the wall. The lag screws included with your custom floating shelf will not work with steel studs. Please refer to the installation guide video. Make share it with your contractor and let them figure out the best way to proceed.
