What are the standard live-edge wall shelf dimensions?
A shelf is described by length, depth and height. Length is the width of the shelf top along the wall; depth is the distance from the wall to the front edge; height runs from the shelf top to the lowest point of the natural branch.
Examples include 40 cm (about 16 in) and 70 cm (about 28 in) lengths. Common depths are 8, 10 and 12 in (about 20, 25 and 30 cm), with custom sizes available to discuss.
How can you display a live-edge shelf?
Measure a flat wall or niche carefully before choosing the shelf length and depth. These shelves are intended for light decor such as small potted plants, books and photo frames; the safe load depends on the individual shelf and installation.
Which mounting method works for each wall type?
The recommended mounting method depends on the wall construction and shelf design. The options described for these shelves include a hidden T-pin system for shorter shelves on brick or concrete, and stainless steel L-brackets for drywall. Confirm the fixing supplied with your specific product before installation.
How to measure your wall before ordering
Measure the maximum width and height available, choose a depth for the objects you plan to display, and send a photo of the wall if you would like sizing help.
