Installation
Installation
Timber studs / Brick / Cement Walls
We recommend our Floating Shelves are installed by a
qualified Tradesman as they must be installed into timber wall studs, brick or cement to hold the weight. We supply metal rods and instructions for the install. A link to instructions are included on your confirmation email.
If you would like holes pre-drilled into your floating shelf
please leave us a note at checkout with the measurements you would like drilled (wall stud locations) or if your wall is brick or cement we don’t need ameasurements, we will drill them in proportion to the shelf size.
Please read the FAQs below for more information.
Steel studs
We do have a solution if your house is steel framed. The weight your wall will hold completely depends on the strength of your gyprock, a tradesperson will be able to advise. We sell brackets here and you can choose an option for them to be rebated into the shelf prior to them leaving our warehouse.

Please note different tradesman will install things
differently and may want to use different fixings depending on the position of the wall studs and if the studs are wooden or steel. The Timber Line do not take any responsibility for issues arising in the installation.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
The local installation fee is per shelf.

Which Is Right for You?
FAQ's
Do you do custom sizing and timbers?
Oh yes we sure do! Please submit a quote above via the custom quote dropdown or contact us here.
Do you provide all of the hardware required?
Yes, we provide metal rods for installation into timber wall studs and brick walls.
How long will my order take?
Please check the current production time above. Or you can contact us here
Can your timber floating shelf be installed into brick and tiles?
They certainly can. Our install method works perfectly for brick and they will drill right through tiles to your wall studs.
How do you install your floating shelf?
We recommend metal rods for install (which we supply). We use these as they hold the most amount of weight. Full instructions are included with your order. Once you place your order a link to view the instructions will be included in your confirmation email.
Are holes pre-drilled into the timber ready for install?
No, but they can be. We offer this service free of charge. Just leave us a note at checkout with the measuments you would like drilled (wall stud locations) or if your wall is brick we dont need any measurements, we will drill them in proportion to the shelf size.
How much weight do your timber floating shelf hold?
Up to 25kgs per every wall stud they are secured to. All of our standard shelf lengths require at least 2 rods installed, larger ones even more. So the smaller shelves will hold 50kg, bigger shelves more, it depends on the size you order.
Are the shelves varnished?
Yes, they sure are—twice. We use a top-grade, non-toxic varnish with a clear finish designed to preserve the natural look and raw feel of the timber. This varnish is also kitchen and bathroom grade, so it offers excellent durability while still being safe for your home.
The varnish is completely clear and colour-stable, meaning it protects the timber without altering its natural tones. We avoid oil-based finishes, as they tend to darken or yellow the timber, whereas our varnish keeps the wood looking true to its original colour.
All of our shelves go through the same careful sanding and varnishing process, however some grains will naturally be more coarse than others. This is simply the nature of timber and part of what makes each piece unique.
Why dont you always recommend traditional brackets?
We dont recommend the traditional brackets (the bar with the two poles attached) because they dont hold alot of weight. Most approx. 10kg per bracket. Our method will hold up to 25kg per rod installed. So if you use a minimum of two rods thats 50kgs minimum. However, this is only our recommendation and you can use the traditional bracket if you or your tradesperson prefers. It is also the only option for steel framed houses.
Can your shelves be used in a steel framed house
They can, but the install method is up to you are your tradesperson. The rods we supply and recommend are only for wooden framed homes and brick. But why? this comes down to weight. As our timber is solid, we want you to be able to store as much as you would like on your shelf without worrying about weight. It is still possible for steel framed homes to purchase our shelves (many do!) using a traditional bracket but it depends on the strength of your plaster, and not something we can comment on without actually inspecting your walls. A tradesperson will be able to help if you are unsure. If you would like to purchase our shelves but your house is steel framed, send us an email and we will help as much as we can to make it work for you.
Can you remove timber floating shelf?
It is possible, but its also dependent on the adhesive you use. But please bare in mind there will be holes left in the wall.
Can I order a timber sample?
You certainly can! Please head the the samples page to make your order.
Do you make corner shelving?
Yes, we certainly do! Please send us a custom enquiry with the size of the floating shelves you require and we will get back to you with pricing.
Can you create a rebate in my shelf for lighting?
For sure, please send us an enquiry with your measurements.

Tasmanian Oak shelves I recently purchased the Tasmanian Oak floating shelves for my kitchen, and I'm absolutely thrilled with them! They were easy to install, look gorgeous, and have added so much functionality to my space. The Tasmanian Oak timber is just beautiful, and the shelves feel incredibly sturdy. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
Product arrived in perfect condition and as described. Lovely timber. Deliver was great . Very happy with the shelves.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! So glad to hear everything arrived in perfect condition and that you're happy with the shelves - enjoy! 😊
We were looking for some thick timber floating shelves and timberline had the best quality,best priced shelves. Their customer service was excellent and they cut the shelves to the required length so I consider that a fantastic service. Their shipping prices were very cheap and they shipped promptly. I highly recommend them. Good job
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with your shelves and the overall experience. Being able to customise shelves to suit each space is something we're proud to offer, so it's wonderful to know that service was valuable to you.

Great service the shelves arrived as expected and the timber is well dressed.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the lovely review! So glad the shelves arrived as expected and that the finish hit the mark. Enjoy them!
The shelves arrived promptly. Loved the quality. Fairly easy to install for someone with the right drill and spirit level! A great way to use up a wall space and display treasured mementos.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for this lovely review! So glad the shelves arrived quickly and that you're happy with the quality. Love the idea of displaying treasured mementos — sounds like they've found the perfect home!
This is my third Tasmania Oak shelf form The Timber Line, and I absolutely love their products. They Always look amazing when they arrive, I do pop a coloured varnish on them to match my Victoria Ash furnishings in the same room, but this is absolutely NOT necessary it’s only because I am slightly OCD (laughs)! If you are looking for amazing timber shelving I cannot recommend these business and their products any more! Do yourself a favour and don’t hesitate to buy one; I can’t wait until I need another thanks for another great product!!!
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your continued support — we absolutely love hearing this! It means a lot to know you’ve come back to us for a third shelf, and we’re so glad they’ve all arrived looking amazing.

Love the quality and the look of the shelves. They are quite heavy, due to their quality and the finish is amazing.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your review. We’re really glad to hear you’re happy with the quality, finish, and overall look of the shelves. The solid timber does give them a bit of weight, but it’s great to know the craftsmanship and finish came through. Thanks again for your support — we really appreciate it.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your lovely review — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Love them. It was a challenge to install. We bought a jig to ensure we got the drill hole straight.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your review — we’re so glad you love them!
This is it 2nd purchase of a Tasmania Oak shelf and the quality is absolutely fantastic! I replaced a poor quality floating shelf with a Timber line Tassie oak shelf, which I varnished a little darker to match my timber bedroom suite, and it surpassed my expectations. I already have more purchases planned because the natural wood and the service of The Timber Line had been fantastic so far! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking at timber shelving options! A+
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review — it honestly means a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear the Tassie oak shelf exceeded your expectations and worked so beautifully with your bedroom suite (your custom finish sounds stunning!). Knowing our shelves are replacing lower-quality options and becoming long-term pieces in your home is exactly why we do what we do. We really appreciate your continued support and recommendation, and we can’t wait to help with your next purchases. Thanks again for choosing The Timber Line!
Absolutely fantastic service, postage was quick and the shelf arrived and was absolutely beautiful. I gave it a quick varnish/clear coat to match as close as possible to vic ash furniture in and around where it was installed and this just further enhanced the grain. It was perfect fit for my Lego Death Star. I’ve already ordered a second shelf and cannot wait to get that one installed!
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you were happy with the service, delivery, and the shelf itself. Your clear coat sounds like the perfect finishing touch, and we love knowing it’s showcasing something as iconic as a Lego Death Star! We really appreciate your repeat order and can’t wait for you to receive and install your second shelf. Thanks again for your support!
I completed a special order with Lee and his team and their communication and attention to detail is what gave me the confidence to go ahead with our online order. Also from the date of purchase the delivery was unexpectedly very quick. I couldn’t be happier with our fireplace mantel, it turned out perfect. Thanks so much for your support and commitment to my vision.
Store owner replied: Hi Vanessa Thank you so much for your beautiful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Leigh and the team gave you the confidence to go ahead with your special order. It’s wonderful to know your fireplace mantel arrived sooner than expected and turned out exactly as you envisioned — that means the world to us.

We are loving our Timber Line Tassie Oak shelves. With a clear varnish applied, it has brought the colour & grain of this lovely timber to life. They are beautifully made & our builder was thrilled to install a product of such high quality. The Timber Line shelves have taken our newly renovated bathroom to another level.

Great product and amazing customer service!
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing the image James and for your wonderful review! Your setup looks fantastic!
The quality and finish of Timberline's products are exceptional and look amazing fitted.

Will be recommending to other family and friends. Thanks again to the team at Timberline :)

Amazing quality, solid timber shelves. I've had many comments on how nice the shelves look in our store. Great customer service and backup when i needed a few tips on installation, along with the very helpful "how to" videos. You wont get a better quality shelf and easily the best price on the market

The timber looks awesome just under the tv with the sound bar on it, sleek and stylish
Store owner replied: That sounds fantastic! We're so glad to hear that the timber complements your setup so well. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Love the shelves and look great in the rooms
Beautiful timber and sizing is great as well. For the price the pre drilled holes could have been vacuumed out so wood shavings and dust didn't go everywhere when I opened it but other than that, came as described
Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear that you’re happy with the timber quality and sizing. I appreciate your note about the pre-drilled holes—I’ll pass this along to our team. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and I’m glad the product arrived as described!
Looks perfect. Just what was needed.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your wonderful review Lynne!
I needed shelves for storage in my small, narrow laundry. The shelves needed to be strong and sturdy but also aesthetically pleasing and these nailed the brief!
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that the shelves perfectly met your needs. We truly appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy your shelves for years to come!
I bought these shelves for a new kitchen project. The shelves are solid oak and incredible quality. My joiner was onboard to use them as they are better quality than what he could make/source (his would be veneer). They arrived well packaged in the lead time given. A seamless transaction. This image is a render of their location in the walk in pantry.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you love your solid oak shelves and that your joiner was impressed with their quality. It’s always great to know that our products exceed expectations and provide a lasting solution for beautiful spaces. We take pride in ensuring every order is well-packaged and delivered within the promised timeframe, so we're glad the process was seamless for you. Your kitchen project sounds amazing, and we love that the shelves are part of your walk-in pantry—such a great addition! Thanks again for your support, and we hope you continue to enjoy your shelves for years to come!
Looks great!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for your review Simon!
