To make the installation process effortless and quick, you will need: Tape measure, Stud finder, Pencil, Level, Drill.
Step 1: Stud installation is strongly recommended. Use a stud finder to locate studs, and lightly mark their location with a pencil.
Step 2: Once you determine where to hang your shelf, use a level to line up the mounting bracket on the wall. Use a pencil to mark the bracket's screw holes on the wall studs.
Step 3: Using the provided screws, lightly screw the mounting bracket into the wall (do not fully tighten yet). Using a level, make sure the bracket is level, then fully screw the bracket into the wall.
Step 4: Line up the holes on the back of the shelf with the bracket extensions, and slide the shelf into place.

Apply Pre-Stain Conditioner (Recommended): Apply a pre-stain wood conditioner to prevent blotchy, uneven absorption. Allow it to penetrate for 5–15 minutes before wiping off excess.
Natural Finish - Seal: To enjoy the beauty of sold hardwood, simply apply a protective finish like polyurethane.
To Stain: Stir the stain (do not shake). Apply it in the direction of the grain using a rag, foam brush, or bristle brush. Let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the desired darkness—longer sit times result in darker, richer colors.
Wipe Excess and Seal: Wipe off all excess stain with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not let stain dry on the surface, as it will become sticky and uneven. Let it dry for at least 24 hours, then apply a protective finish like polyurethane.
Each order comes with the following items:

The Urbandi Experience
FAQs
Every Urbandi product is made in Cincinnati, Ohio by our team of skilled craftspeople.
Yes. Every Urbandi piece is made through a hands-on build-to-order process. We use modern tools for precision, but the majority of the work is guided by skilled craftspeople who select, cut, assemble, sand, finish, pack, and inspect each piece with care.
Yes. Urbandi products are made from real solid wood, not MDF, particle board, or cheap veneer. Some pieces, such as certain fireplace mantels, use a hollow solid-wood construction to make installation easier and pricing more accessible while still maintaining real wood quality.
Most Urbandi products are designed for indoor use, where temperature and humidity are controlled. Outdoor pieces may be available as custom orders using materials and finishes suited for exterior conditions. Contact our team to discuss your project.
Weight capacity depends on shelf size, depth, bracket type, and installation method. On average, floating shelves installed into wall studs with the included brackets can hold 25–55 pounds per stud. Longer or deeper shelves may need additional support brackets.
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe spills right away with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive pads, and silicone-based products. Keep real wood away from extreme heat, direct sunlight, and excessive humidity.
We choose suppliers based on material quality, consistency, responsibility, and proximity. For hardwoods, we work with mills in Central Appalachia and trusted regional partners who provide strong, beautiful wood suited for long-lasting furniture and shelving.
