Solid Hardwood & Hardwood Veneer

For shelves that are 1.25" and 1.75" thick, we use high quality hardwood. For all other thickness values we use high quality real wood veneer. We use these materials to create solid shelves that are designed to combine strength with style. You'll never have to compromise on aesthetics or functionality again.

Elevate Your Space

Discover the perfect blend of elegance and functionality with our high-quality, strong, and fully customizable floating shelves designed to elevate your space.

Description

Most floating shelves come in whatever colors the maker decided to stock. This one comes in yours. It is a custom painted shelf in solid, paint-grade poplar: order it in a clean white to match your trim, in one of our standard colors, or in any Sherwin-Williams color you name — just give us the code and we match it. There are glaze finishes too, Distressed White, Vintage Grey, and Barn Red, for a worked, characterful look, and a Primed option that arrives paint-ready if you would rather finish it yourself.

Underneath the color, it is the same solid hardwood custom shelf we build in wood tones, made to your measurements: 1.75, 3, or 5 inches thick, in lengths from 12 to 90 inches and depths from 6 to 12, cut to fit the wall you have. The correct hidden bracket is matched to the size and thickness you choose and included with the shelf, so it installs with no visible support and nothing to guess at. Each one is made to order in the USA.

Shipping

Allow 2 to 3 weeks for production on all floating shelves + 3-5 business days for shipping.

We ship via Fedex from Rigby, Idaho.

Common Floating Shelf Problems

Limited Options

Most store-bought shelving units come in limited styles and finishes, leaving you with little room for personalization and creativity. Your space deserves better.

How We Solve This

Ultrashelf eliminates cookie-cutter shelving options, giving you more variety and creative control for your individual space.

Lack of Sturdiness

Have you ever experienced the frustration of shelves that sag or warp under the weight of your items? Many store-bought shelves are flimsy and lack the strength to support heavier items. Your peace of mind shouldn't depend on the sturdiness of your shelves.

How We Solve This

Ultrashelf creates custom floating shelves that do not sag or warp.

Our shelves have a heavy duty weight rating credited to solid hardwood and our custom metal bracket.

Difficulty in Installation

Struggling to find shelves that are easy to install? Many shelving solutions require complex installation processes, making it a daunting task for even the most experienced DIY enthusiasts. Your time and effort should be spent enjoying your new shelves, not wrestling with them.

Incompatibility with Your Space

Does it feel like your shelves never quite fit your space perfectly? Generic shelving options often don't account for the unique dimensions and needs of your room, leading to awkward gaps and wasted space. Your space should be utilized efficiently and elegantly.

Uninspired Designs

Tired of shelves that lack personality and style? Many mass-produced shelves prioritize function over aesthetics, leaving your space feeling uninspired and lacking character. Your shelves should enhance the beauty of your room, not just serve a utilitarian purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Floating Shelves

How much weight can a floating shelf bracket hold?

An Ultrashelf bracket can hold 50lbs per each wall stud that it’s attached to. So if your bracket is attached to two studs, your shelf can hold 100lbs; three studs can hold 150lbs, and so on.

Do you offer custom stains or paints?

Yes. For an additional fee, we can custom stain your shelf with any Minwax stain. We also offer custom paint jobs for any Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams color.

How do I choose the right shelf length?

We can cut your shelf to any length from 12" to 90". We are able to cut down to an 1/8" increment to fit your exact space.

To specify an exact length that is more specific than an inch, first round the measurement to next inch and select that inch in the drop down option then enter in the exact length in the box below the drop down. For example, if you need a shelf that is 15-3/8" then select 15" from the drop down option then in the box below the drop down enter 15-3/8"

Can I use the bracket with my own shelf?

Our shelves are specially designed to fit onto our innovative bracket. That being said, you can build a shelf using our router and jigs that will fit our bracket. This is a great option if you have a piece of wood that you'd like to turn into a shelf.

Do you make corner shelves?

While we don’t make corner shelves, you can create and customize your own corner floating shelves with Ultrashelf by using two separate shelves in an L formation.

What tools do I need to install a floating shelf bracket?

To install your bracket, we recommend that you use a stud finder, a pencil, a tape measure, a level, and a drill.

Hard to install if your wall is a bit curved

The shelf is very high quality. It's solid wood, and the mounting hardware has holes at 1 inch intervals, which enables you to put the shelf wherever you want it while still attaching it to studs. It was custom made and delivered faster than promised. It was expensive but worth it.The one problem I had is that my wall turned out to be slightly curved. As a result, when I first put the bracket on the wall, there was a gap between the bracket and the wall. When I screwed the bracket into the studs, the bracket bent slightly, so that it became flat against the slightly curved wall. But when the bracket bent, the angle of the metal posts sticking out from the bracket changed slightly. As a result, I was at first unable to get the shelf onto the bracket. Eventually I applied a lot of force to the shelf, and it slid all the way onto the bracket, and now it's fine.

Every step of the process was seamless and the shelves arrived in time and in good condition. I will always recommend Ultra Shelf!

Great Product!

The shelves are solid, the brackets are heavy, and they are easy to mount. Once you see the hardware, you 'll see why these things don't sag. You need a level, a screwdriver, and a few drywall screws/anchors. (Do check that your walls are flat and level where you intend to put the shelf!)Their customer service was excellent to deal with when I had questions.

90’ Shelf Looks Great

The 90’ shelf is beautiful above my bed. The quality is good and I’m confident in it’s securely installed. Installation wasn’t as easy as expected. Because of its length it came with two brackets, different widths. Installing at the same height, leveled, and perfectly spaced was a 2-person job that took a few hours of prep and planning, versus just installing one bracket and ensuring it’s leveled. But once we got it installed it was well worth the extra time.

Mindful Gray Shelves

These really are amazing shelves. I ordered the raw wood ones, so I could paint them to match my trim. You can tell they're crafted in a shop. They're solid, almost over-engineered, easy to install, and very nice. The wood was sanded smooth, so I just used a smooth cabinet roller to apply a paint finish. The shelves look custom, so I highly recommend getting the raw version so you can paint to perfectly suit your particular application. I am going to save this seller and would buy from them again without hesitation!

A little damage in the shipping process - Fox Black

First I'd like to say that the "Black Fox" color is really pretty....it's like a neutral dark griegey color or very dark taupe shade. The shelf is heavy and the quality looks great. There is a very sturdy hidden shelf bracket included for hanging. I would have absolutely loved the shelf however the shipping time was incredibly long, almost 4 weeks and then when it finally arrived, the front corner of the shelf was crushed, dented and missing paint. It was sent with some thin styrofoam for packing but packaged in a very thin cardboard box. Due to the obvious crushed corners of the packaging, you can see that it was dropped numerous times and handled pretty rough throughout the shipping process. It is very unfortunate!!

White Painted shelves

What fantastic, heavy duty shelving this came out to be. I ordered 5 ft long wall shelves and these are about 20-25lbs each I would guess. The support metal bracket in the back of the shelving is very strong (and sharp!) and this is definitely made to be high quality, unlike other wall shelves that are usually purchased. These are wood throughout, and they don’t feel cheap at all. As long as my old walls can support this weight and all I have to put on it, I am a very happy customer! The only thing is they are a little pricey, but these are made to last. So if you are looking for a long term investment out of your shelves, this may be them. As well, the paint job is near perfect on these shelves, they are perfectly smooth to the touch and a bright white which is what I was hoping for. Not a soft, or off white . These did take about three weeks to come in and right on time with anticipated delivery date. Great sturdy packaging as well, very secure.

Painted White Shelves

This floating shelf is absolutely first class. First off the color we choose was a perfect match for the room we placed the shelf in. The shelf was easy to install. The only tools one needed, was a stud finder, 24" level, and a power drill. The shelf came with screws (4) and a driver bit. The metal floating holder for the shelf was extremely well made and easy to install. Photos should make it quite plain to see. I highly recommend this product. I will probably buy more for other rooms.
