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
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!
The wooden shelf is beautifully crafted! The brackets are well thought out and a super addition to my wall!
Good quality but would have preferred the 1 piece mounting brace for easier leveling. Picture shows 1 piece but 2 individual pieces shipped, harder to level for one person.
Can I choose a thicker version for a more robust look?
Yes, we do have thicker shelf options that will give your floating shelf a more solid, substantial look compared to our thinner shelves.
What makes this shelf “thin” and how does that affect depth and profile?
This shelf is perfect for a narrow or minimalist wall shelf because it has a slimmer profile and comes in shorter lengths.
What kind of items is this shelf best suited to display?
This shelf is perfect for displaying small décor pieces, picture frames, plants, trinkets, or other lighter display items because of its thin profile and narrower depth. It is less suitable for heavy books or large objects.
What is the advantage of choosing this thinner profile compared to a thicker floating shelf?
The thinner design gives it a lighter, modern look. It’s great for smaller spaces and keeps that clean, minimalist floating shelf style while still using high-quality materials.
Does the shelf have a finish applied?
Our shelves can be either finished or unfinished! If finished, we use a protective Danish oil that preserves the wood grain and color.
If unfinished, the wood will be sanded to 220 grit and will be ready for an on-site custom stain or finish.
