Real Oak Shelves to Complement Every Setting
We are home to all types of oak shelves. Our solid oak wood shelves are handcrafted for long-lasting use, suiting a wide range of interior styles and spaces. Each shelf is made from pure oak - no veneer or MDF - meaning you get the best quality for years of use.
Durable: Oak is a naturally dense hardwood, resistant to scratches, dents, and daily wear for decades of shelf life with little maintenance required. A solid oak shelf can support heavy loads, making it ideal for holding an array of items.
Attractive Grain: Our sustainably sourced natural oak shelves exude organic beauty with distinctive grain patterns that add depth and visual interest to any surrounding. We offer variations in tone and texture, as well as different finishes, making each shelf unique.

FAQ's
What are your oak shelves made from?
Our oak shelves are handcrafted using premium, character-grade kiln-dried and air-dried European oak. Made in our North Yorkshire workshop, each shelf goes through the same rigorous process as our oak beams, ensuring a high-quality finish.
Do you offer oak shelves with brackets?
Yes, we offer oak shelves with a variety of bracket options, including lipped steel brackets, inverted steel brackets, and concealed Hafele supports for stylish floating shelves.
What’s the difference between rustic and modern oak shelves?
The main difference between rustic and modern oak shelves is the appearance. Rustic oak shelves tend to feature neutral imperfections, such as knots and grain variations, whereas modern oak shelves offer cleaner lines and a smoother finish.
Can I use your oak shelves in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, our solid oak shelves are suitable for both bathrooms and kitchens, providing ample space for storing towels and toiletries, or cookware and pantry items.
How much weight can your oak shelves hold?
How much weight our oak shelves can hold depends on certain factors, including the wall type and fixing method. On solid walls, two fixings can support up to 35kg, including the weight of the shelf, while on plasterboard walls they hold up to 20kg.
