Knotty Alder Wood Floating Shelves
Our Knotty Alder hardwood floating shelves bring a warm, relaxed character to any interior. Known for its soft grain patterns, natural knots, and welcoming golden-brown tone, Knotty Alder offers an organic, rustic look that feels inviting without being overpowering. It’s a perfect choice for spaces that lean farmhouse, coastal, cottage, industrial, or eclectic.
Each shelf is handcrafted to order in our New York workshop and sized to your exact dimensions. The natural knots and varying grain patterns create a uniquely textured appearance that adds personality to kitchens, living rooms, offices, bathrooms, or retail spaces. Solid Alder provides dependable strength while maintaining a softer, approachable visual profile compared to heavier hardwoods.
Precision-milled for a clean floating look, these shelves provide a charming blend of warmth, texture, and handcrafted quality—ideal for curated displays, décor, dishware, or everyday storage in both residential and commercial settings.
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.
Learn more on our Floating Bracket System page.
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.
