Custom Hardwood Shelves

Everything you need to know about our solid wood shelving, including floating bracket systems, species options, live edge shelves, installation details, load capacity, and nationwide shipping. Ideal for homeowners, designers, architects, and contractors.

What wood species are available for your hardwood shelves?

We offer shelves in Walnut, White Oak, Black Oak, Maple, Cherry, Ash, Knotty Alder, and additional species upon request. Each hardwood provides unique grain patterns, color tones, and durability for both modern and traditional interiors.
Do you offer floating shelves with hidden brackets?

Yes — our most popular option is floating hardwood shelves with hidden steel brackets. We bore out the back of each shelf precisely in-shop so installation is seamless. Just mount the bracket to the wall and slide the shelf on.
Do your shelves come with the bracket hardware?

Brackets are optional upgrades. If you choose the floating bracket system, we pre-install the boring and alignment cuts in the shelves for a perfect fit.
We also provide a link to the installation guide on every shelf product page.
Do you make live edge hardwood shelves?

Yes — we offer live edge shelves in Walnut, White Oak, Black Oak, and more. You can choose live edge on one or both sides, along with slope direction and shape variations.
What thickness options do you offer for shelves?

Common thicknesses include 1", 1.25", 1.5", and 2" depending on the wood species and the shelf depth. Thicker shelves are ideal for heavy-duty floating installations or deeper shelving runs.
Can you build custom-sized shelves?

Absolutely. Every hardwood shelf is custom-sized to your exact length, depth, and thickness. We build shelves for kitchens, living rooms, offices, bathrooms, retail stores, cafés, and commercial spaces.
What grain styles are available (face grain, edge grain)?

We offer:

  • Face grain shelves (most common)
  • Edge grain shelves (stronger linear look)
  • Live edge shelves (natural organic shape)

Edge grain is ideal for heavier loads or deeper shelves.
How much weight can floating shelves hold?

Weight capacity depends on:

  • stud spacing
  • bracket type
  • shelf depth & thickness

Our heavy-duty floating shelf brackets are designed for substantial load capacity (estimated 300lb), especially when mounted directly into studs.
Are your finishes food-safe and VOC-free?

Yes — all shelves are finished with 100% VOC-free hardwax oils for safety, durability, and a natural, premium look. This is ideal for kitchen and dining areas.
Do you ship hardwood shelves nationwide?

Yes — we ship nationwide. Smaller shelves ship parcel, while longer or thicker shelves ship freight. All shelves are packaged securely for safe transport.
Can you build matching shelves, countertops, and tabletops?

Yes — many customers order matching floating shelves, countertops, and tabletops using the same species and finish for a coordinated aesthetic.
What is the typical lead time for custom hardwood shelves?

Production time is typically 1–3 weeks, depending on size, species, and bracket selection. Rush scheduling may be available upon request.
