DETAILS: This durable design is constructed from locally sourced pine wood and is created using dowel rods and a bracket made from the shelf. All edges will be smooth finished, but some pine wood characteristics will still be present such as knots, uneven grain patterns, small cracks, etc. We personally believe that this adds character to the shelves, but understand it may not fit the aesthetic you're looking for. Please keep this in mind as you are making your purchase. INSTALLATION: Installing these is extremely simple. We supply the mounting hardware and detailed instructions. All you need are these tools: ○ Stud Finder (We strongly suggest that 2 wall studs are used when installing your open shelving) ○ Pencil ○ Philips head drive bit and drill ○ Level IMPORTANT If you need to install using a dry wall anchor, we recommend an anchor rated for at least 50 pounds. These shelves will hold roughly 20 pounds per installed stud without sagging. If you need something more customized feel free to send us a message, we love to chat!
