Installation Instructions
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.
I've been looking for floating shelves for 10 months and I finally found the look I wanted with Nook. Great craftmanship, great price, speedy order fulfillment, great installation instructions. This was the last touch to call our kitchen remodel complete. Thank you for an awesome product.
This is my second order. Have gotten the larger shelves and now a couple of the very small ones. All have been great, and just what I wanted. They ARE a bit tricky to mount, but got it done. Love them.
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.
