White Oak Custom Floating Shelves With Heavy Duty Hidden Bracket
White oak is a hard, dense hardwood with a warm, golden hue and striking grain. Highly durable and resistant to moisture, it’s been used for centuries in shipbuilding, flooring, and fine furniture. Our white oak shelves and mantels are offered in one natural finish to highlight the beauty of the grain—though we also offer them unfinished if you’d like to apply your own stain.
Most white oak floating shelves rely on a basic 2-prong bracket, creating weak points and limiting capacity to around 50 lbs per stud. That works for light décor, but not for real storage.
Our shelves use the Hovr Bracket System, where male and female brackets interlock and screw together for unmatched strength. With this design, our white oak shelves can hold up to 150 lbs per stud, letting you store and display with confidence.
Imagine home decor that’s handmade—crafted for your home.
Imagine the quality of custom white oak 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 making your shelves exactly as you envisioned.
