Alder Floating Shelf - Custom Sizes & Finishes

Our handcrafted Alder floating shelves combine premium woodworking techniques with timeless farmhouse style. Each shelf is built using a durable hollow-box construction and crafted from real Alder lumber—no plywood, MDF, particle board, or veneers. Precision 45° mitered corners eliminate exposed end grain and create a seamless wrap-around appearance, giving each shelf a clean, furniture-quality look.

Each shelf is hand-sanded, stained using eco-friendly water-based stains, and sealed with three coats of Water-Based Crystal Clear Lacquer in Semi-Gloss, Satin, or Matte/Flat for long-lasting durability. Our water-based finishes are low odor, environmentally friendly, and resist the yellowing commonly associated with oil-based finishes.
