Knotty Alder Live Edge Floating Shelves
Our Knotty Alder live edge floating shelves blend the warm, inviting tone of Alder with the organic character of a naturally sculpted edge. Featuring signature knots, soft grain flow, and gentle color variation, Knotty Alder offers a relaxed, rustic aesthetic — and the live edge adds authentic natural movement that makes each shelf truly unique.
Each shelf is handcrafted in our New York workshop and built to your exact dimensions. The combination of warm golden-brown color, expressive grain, and live edge texture makes these shelves an excellent choice for farmhouse, cottage, coastal, industrial, and eclectic interiors. They bring instant character to kitchens, living rooms, offices, bathrooms, and retail or boutique commercial environments.
Light in appearance yet dependable in performance, Knotty Alder live edge shelves deliver both visual warmth and handcrafted authenticity — perfect for styled wall displays, everyday storage, or natural hardwood accents that feel genuine and inviting.
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.

What’s Included
Each order includes your custom hardwood shelf, finished and ready for installation. If you select the floating bracket upgrade, the shelf arrives pre-bored to match your bracket system.
