Should Your Floating Shelf Have a Lip?
A lip is a short vertical edge along the front of the shelf. Ours is bent up out of the same piece of steel, about half an inch tall. Whether you want one comes down to what's going on the shelf. When a lip makes sense Anything that leans. Framed photos, prints, canvases, records. The lip gives them something to rest against so they don't creep forward and slide off. This is the most common reason people ask for one — a lipped shelf is a picture ledge. Anything that rolls.... Read more...
Our Unique Finishes
Most floating shelves come in one or two finishes. You take what's offered or you go somewhere else. We do it differently.

Stainless Steel Shelves for Kitchen and Bath: What to Know Before You Buy
If you're putting shelves in a kitchen or bathroom, material choice matters more than it does anywhere else in the house. These are wet environments.

It's non-porous, so it doesn't absorb moisture. It handles heat. It cleans up easily. And it... Read more...
Can You Make Custom Stainless Steel Pieces? Yes — Here's the Process
We get asked this a lot. Someone finds one of our floating shelves, sees the quality of the metalwork, and sends us an email: "Can you make something like this, but for my specific situation?" The short answer is almost always yes. Everything We Make Is Custom We don't stock parts. We don't pull products off a shelf and ship them out.

How Are Floating Shelves Mounted?
We get asked this a lot — and the answer depends on which type of floating shelf you're working with. "Floating shelf" means different things to different people. To some, it means the mounting hardware is completely concealed — you see the shelf, nothing else. To others, it just means no visible support brackets or gussets underneath. Both are legitimate. Both mount differently. Here's how each one works. What "Floating" Actually Means The common thread is a clean, minimalist look after installation. No exposed corbels, no diagonal braces running down... Read more...
