Reclaimed wood floating shelves — genuine old-wood boards, built for export.
Real salvaged timber with decades of grain and patina, re-milled into clean, concealed-bracket floating shelves. The sustainability story your customers want to buy — with the import paperwork done before you ask.
Not a printed rustic finish — genuine old wood, re-milled into a shelf.
A reclaimed wood floating shelf is cut from timber that has already lived one life — salvaged beams, old planks, railway stock and dismantled furniture, mostly aged sheesham, teak and other Indian hardwoods. We de-nail, kiln-dry, clean and re-mill each board so it is straight, stable and safe to hang, while keeping the saw marks, bolt holes, nail shadows and deep colour that only decades of use create. The result is a shelf with authentic character that a fresh board or a factory-aged veneer simply cannot fake.
The look, the story and the easiest timber to clear.
A sustainability story that sells
Reclaimed wood is a genuine circular-economy product — no new tree felled, waste timber given a second life. It is the narrative retail and e-commerce buyers put on the product page, and it commands a premium over new-wood equivalents.
Character you can't manufacture
Old-growth density, tight weathered grain, original patina and honest marks give every shelf a one-of-a-kind face. For boutique, boho, farmhouse and industrial ranges, that authenticity is the whole value proposition.
Deforestation-free by nature
Because the timber is salvaged rather than newly harvested, reclaimed lines sit on the right side of EUDR, Lacey and UKTR from the start — among the simplest wood categories to document and clear at port.
Starting dimensions — then made to your spec.
The ranges below are typical starting points for our ready reclaimed designs. For container orders, length, depth, thickness, edge profile, bracket type and finish are all manufactured to your drawing or approved sample, and every reclaimed lot carries timber-legality and chain-of-custody documentation.

Keep the patina, or dial it to your range.
Natural oil & wax
A low-sheen finish that deepens the reclaimed colour and lets every mark show — the honest, tactile look for farmhouse and organic-modern ranges.
Whitewash & distressed
Lime-wash, grey-wash and lightly distressed finishes for coastal, Scandinavian and boho programs — all with CARB / TSCA-compliant low-formaldehyde coatings.
Concealed floating bracket
A hidden steel rod or blind cleat set into the thicker reclaimed board gives a clean, bracket-free wall line — fixings and instructions packed in.
Wood & iron industrial
Pair the reclaimed board with a wrought-iron pipe or L-bracket, powder-coated or raw, for the loft look that defines the category.
Reclaimed boards run thicker and heavier than new timber, so we match the fixing and bracket to the load and to your market's expectations, and can private-label the hardware kit. Compare the full floating shelf range across woods and mounts, or read more about the material on our reclaimed wood page.

Sourcing for importersHospitality & interiors
Characterful wall shelving for cafés, bars, boutique hotels and designer fit-outs, finished and sealed for the destination climate.
Working with designersAlready proven by decades — and ready for decades more.
Reclaimed hardwood has already done most of its moving and settling, which makes it exceptionally stable once re-milled and finished. Because it is solid timber, it wears gracefully and can be re-oiled or refinished rather than replaced — reinforcing the sustainability promise all the way through its life.
- Dust with a dry or barely-damp cloth; wipe spills promptly and avoid soaking the grain.
- Keep clear of direct heat and prolonged sun to limit movement in natural timber.
- Refresh oiled and waxed finishes periodically; lacquered boards need only occasional cleaning.
- Fix into studs or use the supplied anchors and respect the stated load on each shelf.

Reclaimed wood floating shelves — the detail that matters for import.
What wood is actually used in a reclaimed wood floating shelf?
Our reclaimed floating shelves are cut from genuine old wood — salvaged beams, planks and timbers reclaimed from dismantled buildings, railway stock and old furniture, mostly aged sheesham, teak and other Indian hardwoods. We kiln-dry, de-nail, clean and re-mill every board, so you get real decades-old grain and patina, not a factory-printed imitation. Each lot is documented for timber legality and chain-of-custody.
Will the colour and grain match across a container order?
Reclaimed wood is naturally varied — that is the look buyers pay for — so no two boards are identical. We grade and batch boards to a tonal range you approve from a sample, so the shelves read as one cohesive family on a shelf or site without pretending to be uniform factory stock. Tell us whether you want tight matching or deliberate rustic variation and we grade to it.
What is the minimum order for reclaimed wood floating shelves?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container). For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and reclaimed shelves consolidate well with other furniture and décor in a mixed container. Flat-pack and knock-down construction raises container density and lowers freight per unit.
Do the shelves include concealed mounting hardware?
Yes. We supply hidden/floating brackets — a steel rod or blind cleat set into the back of the board so no fixing shows — as well as exposed wrought-iron pipe and L-bracket styles for the industrial look. Fixings, wall plugs and fitting instructions are packed in, and we can match your market's load expectations and private-label the hardware kit.
Are reclaimed wood shelves compliant for import into the US and EU?
Yes. Reclaimed timber is among the easiest categories to clear because it is deforestation-free by nature, and we still document FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and EUDR-ready geolocation and due diligence. We support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing.
Can you make reclaimed shelves to our own sizes, finish and brand?
Yes. We work as ODM (our ready designs) and OEM — length, depth, thickness, edge profile, bracket and finish are all made to your drawing or sample. That includes custom stains to your reference, your logo on product or packaging, and retail-ready, branded or Amazon-FBA-ready boxes.
Sample one board, then scale to the container.
Send a reference, a drawing or your target price and we'll quote FOB or CIF from Mundra / Nhava Sheva, with MOQ, finish options and a 30–45 day lead time. Request a sample to approve the salvaged wood, grading, finish and build before you commit.
