Subtle? Yes. Basic? Never. The Aksel White Oak Floating Shelf keeps things light, modern, and oh-so intentional. Built from premium solid white oak, it’s offered in two finishes: clear satin for a warm, organic vibe, or glazed for a refined, soft-edge tone. Both are sealed with a kitchen-ready varnish for spaces that actually get lived in. This isn’t some cookie-cutter shelf. It’s natural texture and clean lines—designed to float and built to flex.

Aksel White Oak Floating Shelf FAQ
Is this shelf strong enough for heavy items?
Yes, each Aksel White Oak Floating Shelf is crafted from solid wood and supported by our patented Aksel bracket system. When installed into studs, it holds up to 45 lbs per rod — that’s 90 lbs on a 12" shelf and up to 225 lbs on shelves 74" and up. Translation: It’s not just strong. It’s overachiever strong.
How do I install white oak floating shelves without visible brackets?
With Shelfology’s Aksel bracket, the support hardware is completely hidden inside the shelf. You mount the bracket to the wall (into studs), then slide the shelf right on. No exposed metal. Just a clean, floating look designers obsess over. Learn More
