Live Edge Walnut Custom Floating Shelves With Heavy Duty Hidden Bracket
Black walnut is a dark, hard hardwood prized for its rich chocolate tones, subtle reddish hues, and creamy sapwood accents. Known for its fine grain, workability, and ability to take a flawless finish, it develops a lustrous patina with age, enhancing its upscale look. Commonly used for high-end cabinetry, flooring, and furniture, our black walnut shelves and mantels come in a single, natural finish to showcase the wood’s beauty—though we also offer them unfinished if you prefer to apply your own stain.
Most walnut floating shelves use a simple 2-prong system, creating weak points and limiting them to about 50 lbs per stud. That’s fine for light décor, but not for real storage. Our shelves use the Hovr Bracket System, where a male and female bracket interlock and screw together for unmatched strength and stability.
With this design, our walnut shelves can hold up to 150 lbs per stud, giving you the confidence to store and display without worry.
Imagine home decor that’s handmade—crafted for your home.
Imagine the quality of custom walnut floating shelves made just for you—no assembly lines, no particle board, no vague instructions, and no outsourced customer service. Just clear, personal communication with the craftsman bringing your vision to life.
