Chunky Rustic Floating Shelf 9x2, Teak, 140cm

Product Information

I bought the 120cm version, however the instructions and illustrations don't match, as it illustrates a 100cm length shelf and then says Use 3 brackets underneath the shelf. Perfect timing Verified Reviewer Bought this to germinate our vegetable seeds in the garden, didn’t want to keep so many little pots indoors. We don’t allow any wood in our supply chain from forest areas that are illegal or contain high conservation values or from forest areas with social conflict. Nice product but hard to find screws Verified Reviewer The product is good but requires round head screws. Forests contribute to maintaining balance in the atmosphere, purify the air that we breathe and are part of the water cycle.

The modular parts can be built high, low, under sloping ceilings or staircases, around a window or even along an entire wall. Hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut are often used for floating shelves, but softwoods like pine can also work well. Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world. At IKEA we believe that sourced in responsible way, wood is a key change driver for climate mitigation.

IKEA requires all suppliers to source wood from more sustainable sources (FSC-certified or recycled wood). When it comes to adding storage and display space to your home, floating shelves can be a versatile and modern storage option. Responsible wood sourcing and forest management ensure that the needs of people dependent on forests are met, that businesses can work sustainably, that forest ecosystems are protected and biodiversity is enhanced.

Can be used both indoors and outdoors, and is just as suitable on the balcony as in the kitchen, hallway or bathroom.Glass, metal, and acrylic are also popular choices for floating shelf materials, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. Next, follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the brackets onto the wall, screwing them into the wall studs for maximum support and using a level to ensure they are straight. Because, with their minimal and sleek look, the floating shelves truly can work their magic wherever you place them. Our shelf boards come in many styles and sizes, including shelving boards you can cut to the exact length you need.
