Sized for a long run where you want one shelf rather than two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA floating shelf is a solid board with a steel frame hidden inside it. The frame is welded from 12mm bar, the board is machined to receive it on a CNC router so the fit is a light interference rather than a rattle, and the shelf slides onto the frame and locks with two grub screws underneath. Done properly the result is a shelf with no visible support that will take real weight. Done badly it is a shelf that droops at the front within a year, which is what happens when the frame is thin or the housing is cut oversize. Every board here is machined to a 0.3mm tolerance and every frame is welded rather than bolted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 1500mm wide by 200mm deep by 50mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid American black walnut, 50mm thick, finished in hardwax oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: oiled and ready to use, no visible fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: 54kg evenly distributed, tested to twice that\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpan and bracket spacing: one welded frame, 3 wall fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustability: fixed once fitted, so set the height out on paper first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable walls: timber stud at 400 or 600mm centres, brick, block and concrete.

That last check is the whole job. Once the frame is right the shelf slides on and two grub screws lock it. Allow half an hour for a single shelf and use the paper template rather than the frame itself for marking, because a frame held against a wall with one hand is never where you think it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlanning your wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork from the top down. Set the top shelf where it looks right, usually a little above eye level, then space the rest below it. Books want 320mm between shelves for paperbacks and 400mm for hardbacks and art books, and there is no reason for the spacing to be equal. A wall of identical gaps reads as storage and a wall of varied gaps reads as a room. Leave the bottom shelf at least 300mm off the floor so a hoover and a skirting board both have somewhere to go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Homartshelfs","offers":[{"title":"Matt black","offer_id":58776680989007,"sku":"HMS-FLS-023-BK","price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Raw steel with a clear lacquer","offer_id":58776681021775,"sku":"HMS-FLS-023-RS","price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chalk white","offer_id":58776681054543,"sku":"HMS-FLS-023-WH","price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/5281\/0319\/files\/Floating_Shelf_in_Solid_Walnut_1500mm_Wide_by_200mm_Deep.jpg?v=1789050332","url":"https:\/\/homartshelfs.com\/products\/floating-shelf-in-solid-walnut-1500mm-wide-by-200mm-deep","provider":"Homart Shelfs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
