Ledge Wall Shelf, 36″

One solid wood shelf with a low lip along the front, on two brackets hidden underneath. The lip keeps picture frames and books from sliding off, so it works as a picture ledge, a shelf above a desk or a place for keys by the door.

How it’s made

Solid white oak or solid American walnut with a matte oil, 36″ long. The shelf slides over two steel brackets that screw to the wall, so no screws show. It holds 30 lbs when the brackets go into wall studs.

What to measure

It is 36″ wide, 8″ deep and 6″ high. Find the studs before you choose the spot: they are usually 16″ apart, so both brackets can go into them. Screws and drywall anchors for lighter loads are in the box. It ships as a parcel by UPS.
