Black Oak Live Edge Floating Shelves
Our Black Oak live edge floating shelves bring a striking, organic presence to any space. Milled from premium American Black Oak, each shelf showcases deep brown tones, rich grain contrast, and a naturally sculpted live edge that adds movement and personality to modern, rustic, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
The live edge profile is individually shaped to highlight the natural contours of the tree, making every shelf truly one-of-a-kind. Each piece is crafted to your exact length, depth, and thickness in our New York workshop, giving you a refined, architectural-quality shelf that blends warmth with bold grain character.
Perfect for kitchens, living rooms, offices, bathrooms, and commercial environments, Black Oak live edge shelves provide a distinctive visual focus while maintaining the strength and stability expected from a solid hardwood build. Whether used for décor, dishware, retail displays, or a minimal floating arrangement, these shelves elevate any space with authentic material beauty.
Usage
Our hardwood shelves are designed for kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, home offices, retail displays, and commercial environments. Each shelf is custom-sized and crafted from premium hardwood, making it strong enough for décor, dishware, books, and everyday storage while maintaining a clean, modern look.
Finish, Care & Maintenance
Finish, Care & Maintenance
All shelves are finished with a premium, 100% VOC-free hardwax oil for exceptional protection and a natural matte appearance. The finish is commercial-grade and resistant to moisture, fingerprints, and everyday cleaning products.
For cleaning, simply wipe with mild soap and water or a gentle all-purpose cleaner. Avoid harsh or abrasive chemicals to preserve the wood’s natural look.

Lead Times
Each shelf is handcrafted to order. Standard production time is 1–3 weeks, depending on size, species, and bracket selection. If you need your shelving by a specific date, please contact us through our Contact Page for timeline requests.
Shipping & Delivery
We ship floating shelves nationwide. Smaller shelves typically ship parcel, while longer or thicker shelves may ship freight. Every shelf is securely packaged to prevent damage during transit, and tracking information is provided once shipped.
Floating Bracket Options
Our shelves can be paired with optional hidden floating brackets for a clean, modern look. When brackets are selected, we pre-bore and align the backside of each shelf for a perfect fit—installation is as simple as mounting the bracket to the wall and sliding the shelf on.
