Rather than sitting on a solid, boxy support, the timber appears to float on two slender triangular wire-frame brackets, each powder coated in a durable semi-matte black finish that creates a crisp visual contrast against the pale wood grain. The open, geometric silhouette of the brackets is the shelf's defining feature: it gives the unit a light, loft-style look while still carrying the shelf securely from two separate wall-fixing points, one at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 800mm (31.5in) long, 200mm (7.9in) deep and 295mm (11.6in) in overall height including the brackets, this is a single, self-contained shelf unit rather than a modular or multi-tier system – it is supplied and fitted as one complete piece, ready to hang once both fixing points have been chosen and marked on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural paulownia wood shelf board with a fine, pale grain – a genuinely lightweight hardwood rather than a heavy composite panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo slender black steel wire-frame brackets, one under each end of the shelf, each powder coated in a durable semi-matte black finish for lasting colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen, geometric wire silhouette gives a true \"floating\" look rather than a solid, boxy bracket or box shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact loft-style footprint – 800mm (31.5in) shelf length with a 200mm (7.9in) wall projection, so it fits neatly on most wall runs without dominating the space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall height of 295mm (11.6in) from the base of the brackets to the top of the shelf, keeping the whole unit visually low and unobtrusive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight overall unit at just 1.6kg (3.5lb), straightforward to lift into place and offer up to the wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrisp black-on-pale-wood colour contrast that suits minimalist, Scandinavian and industrial interiors as well as warmer, more rustic rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo wall-fixing points, one per bracket, sized for standard screws and wall plugs, kept neat and largely hidden behind the shelf once installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShelf length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e800mm (31.5in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShelf depth (wall projection)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200mm (7.9in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall height (bracket \u0026amp;
