Looking for finished, stained shelves? We offer: • White Oak • Rustic • Walnut • Ash Installation To make the installation process effortless and quick, you will need: Tape measure, Stud finder, Pencil, Level, Drill. Step 1: Stud installation is strongly recommended. Use a stud finder to locate studs, and lightly mark their location with a pencil. Step 2: Once you determine where to hang your shelf, use a level to line up the mounting bracket on the wall. Use a pencil to mark the bracket's screw holes on the wall studs. Step 3: Using the provided screws, lightly screw the mounting bracket into the wall (do not fully tighten yet). Using a level, make sure the bracket is level, then fully screw the bracket into the wall. Step 4: Line up the holes on the back of the shelf with the bracket extensions, and slide the shelf into place.

Allow it to penetrate for 5–15 minutes before wiping off excess. Apply Stain: Stir the stain (do not shake). Apply it in the direction of the grain using a rag, foam brush, or bristle brush. Let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the desired darkness—longer sit times result in darker, richer colors. Wipe Excess and Seal: Wipe off all excess stain with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not let stain dry on the surface, as it will become sticky and uneven. Let it dry for at least 24 hours, then apply a protective finish like polyurethane.
