FAQ

Are the shelves easy to install?

Yes. Formhaus preps and finishes each shelf with the bracket already installed — the precision drilling, leveling, and alignment are handled in-house. All that’s left is to mount the bracket to the wall studs using the included template and hardware.

Can I customize the size or finish?

Absolutely. Length, depth, thickness, edge style, and finish are all customizable.

What’s the difference between floating and built-in shelving?

Floating shelves appear to “levitate” against the wall with no visible supports; built-in systems integrate with cabinetry or recess into walls. At Formhaus, both are designed with the same material integrity and structural hardware.

Can I mount heavy items or TV equipment on these shelves?

Yes. With the our bracket system and proper substrate, our shelves can safely support substantial loads — specs up to 300 lbs have been verified.

How are your shelves finished?

Finished in-house with VOC-free coatings that protect the surface while preserving the natural wood character.

What species do you use?

Walnut, White Oak, Red Oak, Maple, and Mahogany.

What’s the lead time?

Typically 2-4 weeks depending on dimensions, species, and built-in complexity.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes — we build in New York, serve Long Island, The Hamptons, NYC, and ship carefully packed across the U.S.

Do you offer live edge shelving?

Yes. Our live edge floating shelves showcase the natural edge and grain of the wood while maintaining clean, hidden mounting hardware.

Do you build wood mantels?

Yes — we fabricate custom hardwood mantels in the same materials and finishes as our shelving. Each mantel is prepped with the HOVR bracket for easy, hidden installation.
