    These shelves are perfect

    These shelves were a perfect addition to our home! Great quality, super fast shipping and I appreciated the free shipping! We went with the oiled finish and it matches our other wood very nicely!! Customer service was very quick and helpful in answering my questions.

    I'm thrilled with my shelf

    I am thrilled with my wood shelf! I used it to replace a thin and plain mantel and I love how it turned out. It is nice and thick and rustic and a bit rough. There are a few holes here and there adding great character. The stain color is perfect for my room (Early American). Knowing the history of the wood is super interesting and, as it turned out, this piece came from just a few hours from where I live. I am very happy with the finished look.

    My favorite purchase ever

    My favorite purchase ever. These shelves are stunning, and such high quality. Shipping was fast and installation (with the right equipment) was easy. They feel secure and look great. Jake is so helpful and responds quickly to questions. I asked for a custom length and he and his team got the job done and provided excellent service throughout. Will order from this shop again for future projects!

    Exactly what I was looking for

    Very rustic, which is exactly what I was looking for in my farmhouse style guest bedroom. These were so easy to hang too and I loved receiving background on where the wood came fun - such a thoughtful touch!
