What is in the box

PartHow manyNotes

Before you start. Read every step first. Unpack next to the wall and check the parts against the list. A second pair of hands helps when you hold the shelf to the wall. Use the fixings we send for your wall type: they are matched to the brackets.

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.

Fiddes supreme wax · applied by hand

Seven finishes, one board

Each finish goes on in two coats and is buffed by hand. The saw-mill marks on the top face catch the wax, so every finish has two tones.

Two timbers

Rustic or modern planed

Both are FSC certified kiln-dried Scandinavian redwood, made in our Cumbria workshop. The difference is the surface.

This shelf

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.
