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.

I ordered one white oak sample and Urbandi sent three white oak samples! One sample came unfinished, one had a clear finish, and the third had the white-wash finish. I really appreciate the extra effort Urbandi makes to help you decide on the correct choice!
White Oak sample provided all finishes. Just what I needed to make a decision!
Samples are awesome, however it comes with all three options when you order 1, which was not made clear. So I ordered two and spent an extra $17 I didn’t need to spend. Other than that they are very clearly marked and help so much in picking out what color we want.
I believe I’m missing one of the three samples.
Samples were great and I’m excited to see our final product!
The finished sample is so pretty! But my husband won’t let me pay more than $100 per shelf, so sadly, lll have to skip on the true order. But you have a great product!
Recieved in a quick response time..beautiful..
The white wash oak sample is very nice option
Naw
Nice wood samples. Quality product
The sample was perfect
Samples were good. Nice size. Easy to get an idea of how the finishes would look are larger pieces.
Would have liked a 6x6 sample since I'm considering a 6in ledge but It gave enough of an appearence to help with decision.
Appreciate the 3 samples to compare and contrast with flooring etc.
Product is good, but colors were off. Difficult to get stain color questions answered: How to go about getting a custom order, picking stain, etc.
Great product!
When someone places multiple sample requests for various finishes, contemporary and distressed. Tell them that the samples finish does not reflect the finish just the color. Why pay for more than one set of samples.
Great samples ! Will be ordering soon and going with the white oak unfinished. Thank
I'm impressed with the quality of the white oak samples, thank you! We are planning to order floating shelves this fall or winter after we renovate our kitchen and are more sure about sizes.
Looking to seeing the mantle!
Great test blocks!
excellent sample size and the service was superb!
Great samples, now need to decide which one to go with.
We have a customer looking to use floating shelves and the samples provided to us are amazing. We are impressed with the quality and color. We can't wait to see what she chooses and will post pictures when the project is complete.
Very helpful to receive the samples in making a final decision on what we would like to order.
Received samples, they look great and I will be placing an order this week!
Great way to see the look and feel of the solid wood.
