Hidden supports, drilled for you
We drill the back of the shelf in our workshop. Fix the supports level, slide the shelf on, and nothing shows. Up to 25 kg on any wall.
Strong enough, with the right number of supports
Add 1 bracket at 120cm, 2 at 160cm, 3 at 200cm, 4 at 240cm, 5 at 280cm. The chooser works it out for you.

Looking after it
- Each shelf holds up to 35 kg, spread evenly. Keep the heaviest things close to the brackets.
- Dust with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Blot spills straight away and wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- Do not use chemical cleaners, abrasives or furniture polish on the timber or the steel.
- Check the screws are snug after the first few weeks, as the timber settles.
Or open the full assembly guide in its own page.

“I love this shelf, great quality, looks really good, and solid. Spoke with Customer Services about the instal, and they were really helpful too.”
“Rustic and chunky, perfect accessory to finish off the man-cave. I liked them so much, I’ve also bought the hexagonal shelves and ordered a bespoke chunky mantle shelf.”

Seven finishes, one board
On planed pine the wax goes on even and consistent, with no saw marks to catch it: a calmer, more uniform colour.
Can't decide? Order £2 timber samples, or choose To Be Confirmed and tell us after they arrive.
Rustic or modern planed
Both are FSC certified kiln-dried Scandinavian redwood, made in our Cumbria workshop. The difference is the surface.
Rustic
The top face keeps the original markings from the Swedish circular saw mill. Each board is cut to size and sanded smooth to the touch, and the rustic areas take the wax for a two-tone effect.
