Frequntly Asked Questions

How much weight can the alcove shelves hold?

The maximum weight capacity depends on the size of your shelf, wall material, brackets, and fixings used. We recommend fixing larger shelves to masonry with our heavy duty adjustable brackets, using at least 50mm screws and anchors. This provides the strongest mounting. Smaller shelves or mounting to softer wall materials will reduce the weight capacity considerably.

What are the alcove shelves made of?

Our shelves start with a durable MDF core which we expertly machine and hand finish to your custom dimensions. The surfaces are covered in a scratch-resistant melamine laminate finish available in oak, white, black, and a paintable raw MDF version.

Are mounting brackets included?

Yes, standard screw brackets are available for all board thicknesses, while our heavy-duty adjustable brackets are available for 38mm and 50mm boards. Screws and wall anchors are not included - make sure to use appropriate fixings for your wall type.

Should I mount to the wall studs if installing on plasterboard?

Yes, try to align at least one bracket per shelf to a wall stud. This greatly improves stability. If stud alignment isn't possible, use specialised plasterboard fixings.

How are the alcove shelves installed?

First attach the adjustable brackets securely onto the wall, properly spaced to match the shelf width. Make sure the brackets are level, then set the shelf onto the bracket pegs.

We have made a guide on how to install floating shelves which features step-by-step instructions as well as all the tools you will need for installation.

I think the fixing brackets are poorly designed and could be improved upon. Had to pack the holes in the shelf to secure firmly.

I ordered some alcove shelves from this company, who seemed to offer both floating and alcove shelves. I assumed that the alcove shelves would have additional support on the side of the shelves which could be attached to the sides of the alcove, providing additional strength whilst still remaining hidden. There was no information about this either way on the website, but as they specifically offered alcove shelving I though it was reasonable to assume. What arrived had no side supports available and was just a standard floating shelf. I enquired about this but several weeks on have had no response. The shelves themselves look to be well made and were well packaged, arriving without damage, but given the weaker nature of floating shelves and the fact that I ordered the maximum available depth and want to put a fair bit of weight on them, I'm not confident that they're fit for purpose. Given the lack of response from customer support it's now looking like I'll have to modify these myself, which will take time and presumable void any warranty. I would not be able to recommend the company based on my experience, but if you just want floating shelves then it should be fine
