About this piece

A floating bookshelf with a wood bookend at each end. The shelf is one board of solid hardwood, an inch and a half thick, on a hidden steel bracket that mounts into your studs. Nothing shows underneath.

The bookends match the wood of the shelf. Each stands 6 inches tall with a rounded top corner. Stand a row of books against each end and leave the middle open, or fill the whole shelf.

The bookends ship flat and attach to the shelf with keyhole slots before it goes on the wall. No tools needed.

Lengths run 12 to 84 inches and depths 8 to 12. Order it in oak, mahogany, maple, walnut stain, or poplar for painting. Built in Brooklyn.

For a lighted bookshelf, we rout a channel for LED strip lights into the board. Set the size and placement in the form on this page; lights not included.

What is a floating bookshelf?

A floating bookshelf is a wall mounted bookshelf with no visible support. A steel bracket anchors into your wall studs and the shelf slides over it. This one adds a wood bookend at each end, so books stand upright on their own.

How much weight can a floating bookshelf hold?

Mounted into wall studs, the hidden steel bracket carries roughly 45 to 50 pounds per stud. A longer shelf crosses more studs and carries more, so a 48 or 60 inch wall bookshelf holds a full row of hardcovers.

How do the bookends attach?

The two bookends ship flat in the box with the shelf. They attach to the shelf with keyhole slots before you hang it, and no tools are needed. Each bookend is 6 inches tall, and the shelf with bookends stands 7 1/2 inches.

How deep should a floating bookshelf be?

Measure your widest book and go at least that deep. The shelf comes in depths from 8 to 12 inches. An 8 inch depth fits most paperbacks and hardcovers. Art books, cookbooks, and records want 10 to 12.

Can I hang several floating bookshelves on one wall?

Yes. A stack of floating bookshelves works as a wall of book shelves with no floor footprint. Order the same length for each, and leave room above every shelf for the 6 inch bookends and your tallest books. Six or more shelves take 12% off. For rows without bookends, see our floating shelves.
