Dakota Timber Company Floating Shelf

A live edge design means the shelf retains the natural, organic contour of the tree's outer edge rather than being cut into a perfectly straight, square line. Because of this, every shelf will have a unique shape and grain pattern, making your piece one-of-a-kind.

You can choose between an unfinished option, which allows you to stain or seal it yourself, or a clear-coated finish that protects the wood while highlighting its natural color and texture.

The shelf is designed for straightforward installation and includes all the necessary mounting hardware. While it does require some assembly and mounting to your wall, the process is designed to be accessible for most DIYers.

This shelf is designed for standard wall mounting, but the security of the installation depends on your wall type. We recommend ensuring you mount the bracket into wall studs for maximum stability, especially if you plan to display heavier items like books.

No, and that is part of the appeal. Because each shelf is handcrafted from natural timber, variations in wood grain, knots, and the specific live edge profile are expected and celebrated as part of the wood's natural character.
