Check out this awesome solid wood floating shelf we found on Amazon. The picture from the listing was actually the inspiration for our whole fireplace redesign.

What I liked

  • Solid wood, and nice and thick. You can see all the grain and a real wood stain finish.
  • Mounts very securely for a floating shelf
  • Simple mounting. A bracket goes on the wall, and two mounting screws underneath secure the shelf to it.
  • Hardware provided

Install tip: go into the studs

I marked where the studs are and drilled holes through the steel bracket so I could put screws straight into the studs. That way I know it’s really secure. When you pull on it, there’s very, very little, if any, movement.

Specs from the Amazon listing

These come from the Amazon listing title. I didn’t test them myself:

  • Solid wood fireplace mantel shelf
  • Floating, with heavy-duty metal bracket
  • 60″
  • Ash grey

Bottom line

A super nice, clean look. I absolutely love this shelf, and I’d recommend it.

Price and availability change on Amazon, so check the listing for current details.
