Walnut Floating Shelf

A walnut floating shelf earns its place the moment it goes up. The wood carries the deep, warm brown and open grain that walnut is known for, and because we build each one to order, it arrives at the exact length and depth your wall was asking for rather than the nearest size a store happened to stock. Set a short one above the sofa for framed photographs and the books you actually reread, run a longer one down the kitchen wall for oil, crockery, and the pan you reach for daily, or let a deeper shelf carry a lamp and the small things a bedroom collects. It looks settled in every one of those rooms because it was cut for that one. What holds it there is a Studlock steel bracket, hidden inside the shelf and matched to the size you order, so the support does the work and takes none of the attention. You see walnut and whatever you choose to set on it — not a screw, not a corbel, nothing propping it up. Fastened properly into the studs, the bracket carries up to fifty pounds per stud, more than a row of hardcovers or a season of kitchen use will ask of it. Leave it Unfinished to seal yourself, or choose Natural Clear Coat, Bleached, Espresso, or Bombay Mahogany.
