Flat Edge Shelves

Discover handmade wooden wall shelves with clean, straight edges and the individual character of real timber. Rutherford Works makes each flat edge shelf to order in the North East of England, preparing and finishing every board individually.

Choose your size and finish

Driftwood Grey adds a softly weathered look, Soft White complements lighter interiors and Black Ebony creates a strong contrast. Standard lengths run from 40–160cm; dimensions are shown as length × depth on each product page. Ask about bespoke lengths and depths before ordering if your space needs something different.

Straight edges for kitchens and living spaces

Use a flat edge wooden shelf for kitchen mugs, books or a display above a sideboard. Measure the items you plan to display and the available wall space when choosing dimensions. Prefer a flowing outline? Browse our handmade live edge shelves.

Fitting your shelf

Each shelf is supplied undrilled. Brackets, screws and wall fixings are not included. Select appropriate supports for the shelf size, wall type and intended load, with advice from a competent fitter where needed. Read our care and fitting guidance before installation.

Natural grain, knots and finish colour vary from piece to piece. For delivery details, consult the product page and our delivery information.
