Superior Alder 2" Thick Lighted Floating Shelves

The weight capacity for each shelf will be different depending on the size and installation. It can range between 40 and 80 lbs. For more complete information refer to the individual product listing.

Mounting to solid wood blocking or studs will give you the highest weight capacity but we know that it's not always possible to mount to studs, if you can't locate studs or you want to add additional mounting points, we recommend using toggle bolt anchors and screws (example links below). Standard plastic drywall anchors will pull out of the wall and can cause the shelf to lean forward.

We recommend getting samples to get a feel for the color and you can get a shelf to test as well. When we get a full order, we try to coordinate the lumber to make all the shelves as similar as possible. When separate orders are placed it is difficult to make them match the original shelf (similar to ordering tile).

They can, we do our best to make sure they coordinate and tie in together but each piece of lumber can be distinct and unique. This is one way that you know you have real wood shelves vs. a man-made product (like laminate flooring).
