FAQs
What type of wood is the shelf made from?
The shelf is crafted from solid oak wood, known for its density and durability.
Does the shelf come pre-finished?
No, the shelf has an untreated surface that allows you to customize it with your preferred paint, lacquer, or sealant.
What is the maximum weight the shelf can hold?
The shelf has a maximum load capacity of 20 kg.
Are the dimensions exact for every shelf?
The overall dimensions are approximately 40 x 40 cm. The thickness varies between 2-4 cm due to the natural live edge.
Can I use this shelf in a bathroom?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to seal the untreated surface thoroughly with a water-resistant sealant to protect it from moisture.
How do I clean the shelf?
Wipe it clean using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
Will my shelf look exactly like the picture?
Each shelf is handmade with a live edge, meaning natural variations in knots, cracks, and color are to be expected, making each piece unique.
Troubleshooting
Shelf feels rough or splintery
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper until smooth. Clean away dust before applying a finish or using.
Shelf is wobbly after mounting
Ensure mounting screws are fully tightened and that appropriate wall anchors for your wall type were used. Check if the wall itself is stable in that area.
Finish is uneven or peeling
This may occur if the surface was not properly prepared or if the sealant/paint was applied incorrectly. Gently scrape off any loose material, re-sand, and reapply the finish following manufacturer instructions.
Natural cracks/knots are widening
Minor variations are expected. For significant widening, consider filling the crack with a wood filler appropriate for oak, then sand and refinish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Surface: If desired, sand the shelf to smooth any rough edges and prepare it for finishing. Clean off any dust.
- Apply Finish: Apply your chosen sealant, paint, or lacquer. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation during this process.
- Mounting: Select appropriate wall anchors and screws for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick). Hold the shelf in place, mark the mounting points, drill pilot holes, and securely fasten the shelf to the wall.
Compatibility:
The shelf is compatible with most standard wall types, provided you use the correct mounting hardware. Its natural wood material can be integrated into various decor styles, from rustic to modern.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, especially on untreated surfaces.
- Maintenance: For longevity, especially in humid environments like bathrooms, ensure the shelf is properly sealed. Reapply sealant as needed over time.
