Walnut Hardwood Sample
SOLID WALNUT | MADE IN NY | LEAD TIME: 1-2 DAYS
Rich, dark, and sophisticated.
Before you commit to a full shelf, experience the depth of American Black Walnut in your own space. This 5" x 5" solid block showcases the chocolate and coffee undertones that make Walnut the premier choice for luxury furniture.
We finish every sample with a premium Zero VOC hardwax oil. Unlike plastic polyurethanes, this finish bonds with the wood fibers to protect the surface while keeping the texture natural, matte, and incredibly tactile.
• Material: 100% Solid American Black Walnut
• Size: 5" x 5" x 0.5"
• Finish: 0% VOC Hardwax Oil

- The Finish: Protected by a professional-grade Matte hard wax oil that is water-resistant and family-friendly.
- The Grain: Every piece is unique, featuring rich grain patterns & occasional occlusions. Due to natural variations in lumber, your shelf may differ from the images provided.

BUILT DIFFERENT...
by Craftspeople who hope you love your shelves as much as they love making them.
Rooted in Reciprocity
True luxury is a cycle, not a straight line. We source our timber exclusively from sustainable North American yields, and through our partnership with One Tree Planted, we commit to planting a native hardwood tree for every shelf purchased. It is our way of ensuring the forest remains as permanent as the product we build.
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What is the actual weight capacity of these shelves?
When anchored into wall studs using our included HOVR™ Aluminum Cleat, a single shelf is rated for 300 lbs (at an 8” depth). This makes them the premier choice for heavy-duty kitchen shelving, capable of supporting stacks of stoneware, cookbooks, and cast-iron cookware without risk of failure.
How do you guarantee the shelf won't sag over time?
Traditional rod-based brackets create a single point of failure that eventually bows. Our "No-Sag Guarantee" is possible because our system uses linear support. The interlocking aluminum cleat runs three quarters of the length of the shelf, effectively making the hardwood an extension of your wall’s internal structure.
Is the finish safe for moisture-rich kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes. Every board is sealed with a professional-grade, water-resistant Matte Clear Coat. This finish protects against steam, splashes, and stains while maintaining the organic, tactile feel of the solid American Walnut or White Oak. Unlike veneers, our solid hardwood will never peel or delaminate in humid environments.
Why is there a 2–3 week lead time?
We do not stock pre-made, mass-produced boxes. Every shelf is a bespoke commission, handcrafted to order in our Long Island studio. This allows us to select the finest FAS-grade lumber and ensure a precision fit for your specific dimensions. In the world of fine furniture, quality is worth the wait.
Can I install these myself, or do I need a contractor?
The HOVR™ system is designed for a streamlined DIY installation. We include a "White-Glove" hardware suite (cleat, structural screws, and precision drill bit) to remove the guesswork. If you can use a level and a power drill, you can achieve a professional-grade, "zero-gap" result.
What is the difference between your solid wood and "real wood" veneers?
Veneer is a paper-thin slice of wood glued over compressed sawdust (MDF). Our shelves are 100% solid, furniture-grade hardwood. Solid wood possesses a natural warmth, weight, and "tactile soul" that veneers cannot replicate. Furthermore, solid wood is an investment—it can be sanded and refinished 50 years from now.
