Care, durability & sustainability

Care tips

  • Wipe with a soft, damp cloth — avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Reapply natural oil once a year in high-use areas.
  • Keep away from direct heat sources to prevent warping.

Sourcing & sustainability

We prioritize locally reclaimed timbers to reduce new harvests and give legacy wood a second life. Each board is assessed for structural integrity and fasteners are removed before remilling.

Frequently asked questions

Can you match an existing shelf height?

Yes — provide a photo with a tape measure or a reference object and we will work to match visual proportions.

We offer in-person measurement and installation within the NYC metro for a competitive fee; remote consultations are free.

What if the board has knots or holes?

We transparently disclose character marks; small repairs and epoxy inlays are options depending on your aesthetic preference.

Shelves are crated and insured; we provide clear handling and installation instructions to ensure safe delivery.
