About this piece
This is the slim version of our oak floating shelf, 6 to 36 inches long and 3 to 8 inches deep. The proportions suit spice jars, paperbacks, plants, and framed photos. A single 6 inch shelf fits the spots nothing else does: between windows, above a light switch.
It is a thin floating shelf cut from a single piece of solid oak, on hidden brackets. It sits close to the wall and keeps a narrow line, which lets you stack two or three above each other without crowding a room.
Wood options run light to dark: oak, maple, mahogany, then mahogany with a walnut stain. Poplar is the paint-grade choice.
If you need longer or deeper, our thick shelf goes to 84 inches and 12 deep.
Installation Instructions
I really love the shelves… they are well made & of really good quality! I love them.
My only problem… it took weeks to get it. That’s my only reason for not giving 5 stars.
My shelf is exactly what I wanted. It arrived quickly, is a beautiful color, and is very well made. I would definitely order from this company again!
Beautiful color and invisible attachments to the wall. Love i! tJust be careful to install the drywall hooks / hardware really straight.
I ordered an unfinished shelf so I could paint it the same color as my walls. I wanted it to disappear so the small delicate sculpture I placed upon it would pop. The shelf is very high quality. And surprisingly easy to install. I love the way it looks!
Made the shelf that fit my needs exactly. Came ready to paint, which worked perfectly!
Is there a thicker oak shelf?
Yes. Our thick oak line is the same wood at 1 1/2 inches for bigger loads. This 7/8 inch shelf is the lighter, skinnier profile of the two.
What sizes do thin oak shelves come in?
The board is 7/8 inch thick, 6 to 36 inches long, and 3 to 8 inches deep. It is the narrow wood shelf of our line, sized for display rather than heavy storage. The same board also comes in maple, mahogany, or a walnut stain.
What fits on a narrow wood shelf?
Frames, plants, small ceramics, and paperbacks. A light oak floating shelf shows off what sits on it without the shelf itself taking over the wall.
Why pick light oak in a thin profile?
Light oak in a thin profile keeps walls bright. Where a thick shelf makes a statement, a 7/8 inch oak shelf blends in and lets the display carry the look.
Does it come finished or unfinished?
Both options. Finished oak gets a protective oil finish that keeps its light color; unfinished arrives sanded to 220 grit, ready to stain, paint, or leave raw.
