Know before you buy
No. Because each shelf is handcrafted from natural spalted or ambrosia maple, every piece features unique grain patterns, color variations, and edge characteristics. You should expect your shelf to have its own distinct personality that differs from the listing images.
Kiln-drying is a process that removes excess moisture from the wood in a controlled environment. This stabilizes the timber, significantly reducing the risk of warping, shrinking, or cracking after the shelf is installed in your home.
Yes, the solid maple construction is durable and sturdy. However, the weight capacity will ultimately depend on the quality of your wall anchors and the surface you are mounting it to, so ensure you use appropriate hardware for your specific wall type.
The live edge is sanded and finished to maintain its organic, natural shape while ensuring it is safe to handle. While it retains the raw beauty of the tree's edge, it is smooth enough to prevent splinters.
The shelf is designed as a floating unit, but please check the included hardware kit upon arrival. Depending on your wall material—such as drywall, brick, or concrete—you may need to purchase specific heavy-duty anchors to ensure a secure installation.
