Marvel in the detail
About this piece
Elevate your space with this beautifully crafted thick oak shelf paired with heavy-duty steel J brackets. The unique J-style bracket, named for its shape, is designed for a floating shelf look but offers enhanced strength over traditional hidden brackets. The bracket is powder-coated in a smooth, matte black finish—our most popular option.
The good-natured and warm feel of the oak makes it a great choice for long floating shelves while its lasting heavy-duty strength ensures that come what may, your medium to large-sized oak shelf will stand the test of time.
