About the Hardwood Floating Bookshelf

Our Floating Bookshelves are handmade from solid hardwood. We build each shelf from hardwood boards joined with a 45 degree miter creating a wrap-around continuous grain.
Each cabinet case is fitted with a concealed, integrated French cleat for a beautiful floating appearance.

Golden-ratio proportions make for a pleasing and functional size. Each piece is hand-finished in our Maine shop. Walnut, White Oak, Maple, and Cherry get an all-natural, food-safe tung oil to bring out the wood’s own color, and Black Oak gets a hand-applied black stain finished with a beeswax and carnauba paste wax.

Mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions are included. Since each item is made by hand with care, variations in color and grain should be expected from piece to piece.

Built To Last

The Krovel Furniture Co. woodshop was born from a desire to create simple, beautiful, and affordable furniture. We strive to select the finest materials and we mill, fabricate, and finish each piece in-house.

Hand-Selected, Hand-Finished

We hand-select the finest rough-sawn lumber (harvested and rough-milled in the U.S.) and we mill, construct, and hand-finish one piece at a time in our Maine shop–nothing is outsourced.

Clean Lines, Simple Joinery

Our passion is working with wood, but just as important is simplicity of design. Clean lines and well-proportioned shapes utilizing simple joinery techniques help to keep our products accessible and affordable. We value good design, quality craftsmanship, and durable, beautiful materials.

FAQs

I'm unsure about size, what do I do?

We always recommend that our clients make a simple mock-up in cardboard and tape in place to the wall. This will give you a very good idea of size and scale in your space.

Do you offer custom sizes?

Yes! We’re happy to build a size that works for you. Contact us with your dimensions and wood choice for a quote.

Can I choose to add my own drawer hardware?

Yes. When adding the item to your cart, you may choose to add our standard finger-hole or “no hole” for DIY hardware.

All measurements are exterior dimensions - what are the interior dimensions?

Finished wood thickness is 5/8” so the interior width and height is 1.25” less than exterior dimensions. The solid back with the integrated mounting cleat is 1/2” with a 3/4” cleat for a total interior depth of less 1.25”. for our Media and Storage cabinets with sliding doors, subtract another 3/4” for the doors, total is less 2” for back and doors combined.

Excellent!

They look amazing, each bookshelf is consistent and the French cleat makes them easy to line up with each other and attach the wall. Additionally the crate and packaging they came in was better built and engineered than some other furniture.

I chose KrovelFurnitureCo because of their reputation and high quality, and I was so right! They did an excellent job! They've manufactured 9 custom square walnut shelves of different sizes to display my art works and other items in our living room. The qualify and print of the wood was rich and nicely selected for this project. The shelves arrived on time, were well packaged and they exceptionally easy to install. Highly recommended!

Beautiful walnut shelf that I paired with an equally beautiful cabinet in my newly renovated bathroom. The shelf came very carefully packed and protected in a sturdy box backed with cornstarch packing peanuts that are easy to compost / dissolve. The shelf is extraordinarily easy to hand with the French clear.

Absolutely amazing craftsmanship, quality finishing and the front sliding panels were matched to have continuous wood grain. We will likely purchase more of these in various sizes because we love it so much! Easy to hang, came with all the necessary hardware and instructions.

A long overdue review. We bought a custom shelf and Tim was great to work with. He was very careful to make sure he understood what we wanted and it arrived quickly... And packaged really nicely which was a great touch. We would definitely buy from him again.
