Fully Customize Your Floating Shelves
Sizes & Styles: Choose from standard sizes or customize to your exact specifications. Our versatility allows for a perfect fit in any space.
Edge Details: Tailor the look of your shelves with five edge detail options: square, eased (1/16", 1/8", 1/4" radius), and beveled edges.
Texture & Finish: Personalize your shelves with a variety of texture options for a unique or distressed look. Opt for a smooth, sanded finish or select from our wire brushed textures for added character. Available unfinished or prefinished, with standard or custom stain options to match your decor perfectly.
Made To Order With Care
Custom Orders: All shelves are made to order, ensuring a perfect match for your specific requirements.
Crafting Process: Wide Plank (Face Grain) shelves thicker than 1-¾” are carefully constructed with face-glued planks for enhanced durability and aesthetics.
Texture Selection: For those preferring a smooth texture, select "NONE" under Texture Options. Note that wire brushed texture varies by wood species. Wire Brushed Texture works best on wood with an open grain, such as oak and ash.

Maintaining your beautiful hardwood floating shelves is simple. Regular dusting with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth will keep them looking clean and highlight the natural beauty of the wood. If a more thorough cleaning is needed, use a mild wood-safe cleaner, being sure to wipe away any residue with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. By keeping them clean and dry, your floating shelves will continue to be an elegant and functional display in your space.
White Oak
White oak sapwood is light-colored and the heartwood is light to dark brown. White oak is mostly straight-grained with a medium to coarse texture, with longer rays than red oak. White oak therefore has more figure. We use only the higher quality grades of white oak lumber for our products.
