01How to use it
How to hang this floating shelf
This floating shelf measures 40 × 15 cm and 1.5 cm thick. Its metal bracket hides inside the wood, so once it is fixed you only see a clean, floating line. Screw the bracket to the wall first, check it with a spirit level, then slide the shelf over the rods.
The load it can hold depends mainly on your wall and fixings. Screwed into solid brick or into timber studs, it can carry books and plants; on plasterboard, use cavity fixings and keep to lighter decorative objects.
Above a sofa: 20 to 25 cm above the back
Display shelf on its own: around 150 cm from the floor
Above a desk Keeps notebooks and a small plant within reach without cluttering the desk.
In the kitchen Display jars, spices or a few cookbooks near the worktop.
In the bathroom A neat spot for towels, candles and skincare.
Two staggered on a living room wall Two shelves at different heights make a simple gallery for vases and frames.
03Care
Caring for your wooden shelf
Dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid soaking the wood or using harsh cleaning products.
In a bathroom or kitchen, keep it away from direct splashes and wipe off any water quickly. Check the fixings from time to time if the shelf carries heavy items.

A study nook in the living room
We don't have a spare room, so I made a little study nook in the corner of the living room. Two shelves above the desk, one slightly offset: on the top one my favourite books and a plant that trails down, on the lower one a pencil jar, a candle and a postcard from Lisbon. The natural wood keeps everything soft and bright, and because there is no visible bracket it doesn't feel like an office. My husband and I put both up in about half an hour. I sit there every evening now.

You can't see the bracket at all
Put it above the bathroom sink for my creams and a little pothos. The bracket really disappears into the wood, it looks like the shelf grows out of the wall.

Bello, but check your wall
Bello! The shelf is beautiful but my wall is old and not straight, so there is a small gap at one end. Not really the shelf's fault.

A little shallow for big pots
Well made and the hidden bracket is clever. 15 cm deep is a little shallow for my bigger plant pots, so I use it for frames instead. My fault for not checking the size.

Spice jars sorted
Hung it beside the cooker for my spice jars and the olive oil. Wipes clean easily and the brown matches our cupboard doors nicely.

Four on the study wall
Bought four for my study wall and hung them in a staggered pattern like on the photos. It took some measuring with pencil marks and a lot of tape, but now it is my favourite wall in the house: a few books, a small plant, a photo of the kids and an old camera. The wood is smooth, no rough edges anywhere, and from the side you see nothing of the metal. Next project is the hallway.

Shelf is good quality and looks clean. Shipping was a bit slow, I waited longer than I hoped, but the result on the wall is worth it.

Book ledge for my son
I wanted my four-year-old to choose his bedtime stories himself, so I put this shelf on the wall beside his bed, low enough for him and with the covers facing out. Every night he picks one and puts it back the next morning, which is a small miracle. The brown is a nice warm colour and the shelf does not look like a typical kids' shelf, so it can stay when he grows up. I added a small frame with his first drawing. The only thing I would say is measure twice before drilling, the bracket has to be very straight.

The brown is more reddish than on the photos and doesn't really match my furniture. Quality is OK and the bracket is well hidden. I put it in the guest room where it matters less.

Remarkably well judged
The proportions are remarkably well judged: thin enough to look delicate, deep enough for a row of small books. The grain of the natural wood is pretty as well.

Books finally off the floor
We moved into a small flat last spring and my books were living in piles on the bedroom floor for months. I ordered two shelves in natural wood to test, and then two more a week later. The bracket goes into the wall first, then the shelf slides over it, so from the front you only see a clean piece of wood, 40 cm long, nothing else. My partner was sceptical about the thin 1.5 cm profile, but for paperbacks it is perfect. Delivery took a while, about two weeks, but everything was well packed and there was not one scratch. Now the bedroom finally looks finished.

Fine shelf, fiddly to hang
The shelf itself is fine and it looks good now. But the instructions about the wall plugs are very short, and on my plaster wall I had to buy other plugs and redo one hole. It took me an afternoon to get it level. If you are not handy, ask someone to help.

Too thin for a big wall
It's okay. I expected something thicker, 1.5 cm looks very thin on a big empty wall. Probably better in a small room or as a pair. Well made, just not the right size for my space.

I use two black shelves to display my favourite vinyl sleeves above the record player. The thin profile makes them look like they float. Really the effect I was hoping for.

Moving-day rescue
We moved in September and I wanted something quick to make the entrance feel like home before my parents came to visit. I hung this shelf by the front door at eye level, with a little dish for keys, a framed photo of us and a small dried bouquet. The bracket hides inside the wood so it looks very tidy, no metal showing anywhere. My dad, who usually criticises everything I put on the walls, asked where I found it. Delivery was a bit long but the timing was shown at checkout, so no surprise. Honestly the best small purchase for the new flat.

Farmhouse kitchen approved
Our kitchen is more country style, old wooden chairs, a big table, terracotta floor, and I was afraid a floating shelf would look too modern in there. It doesn't at all. The natural wood blends in and the hidden bracket keeps it quiet, so the things on it get the attention: my grandmother's little jug with herbs from the garden, two old tins and a stack of recipe cards. I hung it a bit lower than planned so I can reach everything while cooking. Very happy, and it was not complicated to fix.

Better than my pricier one
I had a floating shelf from another shop that cost twice as much and honestly this one is just as good, maybe better because the bracket is completely hidden. Flat surface, straight edges, nice black.
