Our Bestselling Shelves

Sizes that fit real walls, in woods that match real furniture. Our bestsellers cluster around the 60 inch thick oak shelf over sofas and desks, the rounded corner shelf that puts a dead corner to work, and the picture ledge that changes with whatever you display. The common thread is solid wood at a size people actually need.

The range runs from a 3 inch trinket shelf to an 84 inch board, in thin and thick profiles. Beyond the classics there are corner shelves, shelves with cord holes, key hook shelves, plate and picture ledges, and magnetic shelves. Woods are oak and mahogany, with maple, walnut stain, and paint-grade poplar on most listings, and custom sizes on request.

Kitchen: a thick shelf 8 to 12 inches deep, or wood corbels for the classic look. Office: a cord hole shelf that swallows the charger and speaker wires above the desk. Living room: a long 60 or 72 inch board over the sofa, or a picture ledge you can rearrange without new nail holes. Every room's answer is on this page somewhere.

Yes. Nearly everything on this page is cut to the size you order, and sizes between the standard cuts, a 50 inch board, say, are custom orders at no drama: pick the closest size and note what you need, or email us. Past 84 inches, modular shelving joins boards end to end for a run at any length.

Hidden brackets for the clean look: the steel lives inside the board, holds 45 to 50 pounds per stud, and most of our bestsellers use them. Visible brackets when you want more capacity or the hardware as part of the design: steel J brackets read industrial, wood corbels read farmhouse, and deep L brackets carry roughly 100 pounds each. One rule of thumb: past about 12 inches deep, go visible. The extra depth puts more leverage on the mount, and an exposed bracket handles it best.
