The floating wall shelf. There’s no way around a wall shelf if you’re looking for the finest in wall shelves. Some “experts” believe plastic or space-age polymer shelves are the way to go, for strength and style. I disagree, though I value the “expert” opinion. Wall shelves, specifically floating wall shelves, should be wood. Constructed of wood.

It’s just dynamic when a friend of yours surprises you with a gift you didn’t expect.  This happened to me today when Doctor Alan Range of the Jet Propuslor Laboratory in Glendale sent me an actual chart of the distance ShelvesBlog blog posts have traveled through space.  Amazing, informative, incredible!  Of course, when you type anything into the internet, high frequency carrier waves that are invisible to the naked eye take the information far into the cosmos.  But only a special few have access to technology that can track these waves.  And today that’s me!  Thanks Alan! I think the perfect way to celebrate the fact that not only does ShelvesBlog have the most hits and ranking of any blog site pertaining to shelves, but we’ve gone the farthest into space: to review a floating wall shelf. It’s an inevitability that soon or later all home improvers must grapple with: there’s no better way to add functionality to your walls (without the use of a classic “bookcase”) than the wall shelf.

Convenience is the name of the game. And really, now that I reflect on it, Convenience is at the heart of all shelves. Consider for a moment: what is a shelf but a perfectly designed way to make your home, office, the grocery store, videocassette rental center, or library convenient? If we weren’t looking for the convenience shelves graciously offer, we as a people would just remand everything to unceremonious boxes. There would be boxes everywhere. But alas, we don’t, and alas, shelves serve a terrific purpose. You know, everyone’s home or office can always use a little extra space here and there. Organizing space. Space to spread out. To make things convenient. The kind of space that fits right where you need it, adds a few inches of pure, pristine space. Shelf space. Wouldn’t a little extra space be marvelous? Marvelously convenient? Yes, it would be. And yes, it is.

I read an article today that chilled me to the bone. It froze me with fear. It covered me with a frost of dread. It turns out all of man’s innovations like chimney smoke, factories and gasoline are ruining the environment. All of these innovations are melting the polar ice caps. The actual ice that makes up the north and south poles. These ice shelves will then raise the ocean level, killing us all. After the water rises, and dry land becomes the most precious commodity on the planet, bands of thieving, dangerous nomads will sail the globe, attacking the survivors. It will be a living hell, an unbearable living nightmare, a nightmare in which the living envy the dead. We as humans will have effectively ruined the very place we were born, destroying our place in the universe forever. The good news is that until then we can still order shelves for the home, shelves not unlike these terrific deluxe 4-level floating wall shelf from Stacks And Stacks.

I was trying to count the number of ways a person could uses shelves in the home, while cleaning out my shelf library, and I was deep in thought. There are two concepts that trouble me, while giving me peace at the same time. ONE: the fact that there is an UNKNOWABLE number of ways to use shelves. TWO: the fact that if you begin cleaning and organizing, THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO CLEAN. These two concepts share equal ground, and that ground is INFINITY. Infinity. It’s almost too hard a concept to wrap your mind around, a concept that would take an infinity to understand completely. But here we all are, trying to get by, everyday we go about organizing and finding new uses for shelves, while the great and all-consuming concept of INFINITY rests just out of sight. It’s always there. And it always will be. I’ll just have to accept that. But you know I won’t accept anything but the finest in shelves, and I’ve found just that at Stacks And Stacks.

This is infinity terrific Wall Shelf Slash Display Ledge from Stacks And Stacks. And besides the simple fact that it holds 50 pounds (50!), it comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes! A not completely, but ALMOST infinite number of choices! Look here: natural, white, dark cherry, black, and honey — that’s a variety of finishes, it is. Not to mention this shelf comes in your choice of lengths: 20 or 24 inches. And that’s really special. So if you, like me, are having trouble reconciling the nature of infinity and the universe itself, it’s nice to know that some things never change. Like the durable simplicity of a great shelf. And a great shelf this is. To infinity and beyond, and so on.

The sheer frustration connected with the inability to find a perfect shelf is a maddening experience — not unlike a powerful vice that crushes the human spirit, crippling in its effect on the psyche, horrendous in the totality of its absolute hellishness.

Cartoons terrify me. They are the EXACT, POLAR OPPOSITE of shelves and shelf organization. They are hand-drawn, non-existent, intangible. They are meaningless, frivolous, and empty. Whereas shelves and shelving units are durable, functional, stylish, bold, and assist in keeping one’s life organized and tidy, these horrible cartoons do nothing but defeat the purpose of spare time. Time which is allotted by the creator for CLEANING and ORGANIZING. Certainly not for watching hand-drawn (or heaven forbid, COMPUTER-drawn) cartoons frolic and have adventures and tell jokes and fall off cliffs. I’ll put a tall cabinet, wall mount shelving, wood wall shelving, or any other wall shelving systems up against any of these cartoons, any day of the week. If you could open my mind and peer into my darkest nightmare, you’d see this:

Not pretty. Not at all. And that’s why I was so torn while surfing the values contained within Stacks And Stacks’ “Wood and Composite Wood Wall Shelves” section. I stumbled across a pair of 2 Wall Scones. I was intrigued after setting eyes on the item’s smaller “thumbnail” (a computer insider term), so I clicked through to view the entire item. I was instantly taken aback. Shocked. The two opposite sides of my mind completed for dominance; I was unsure how to proceed. Here was a Wall Sconce that was old-world classic, eye-catching, and featured plenty of customizability. And yet, it was represented not by a photograph, but — chillingly — by a cartoon:

I have no idea why the company responsible for this great set of Wall Sconces decided to go with a cartoon for their product’s advertisements, but at the end of the day, I have to thank them. They allowed me the opportunity to face my fear; to push back against the wall of fire in my mind; to temporarily disconnect my hatred and distrust of hand drawn cartoons. And I did. I ordered six sets worth of these terrific looking sconces. Friends, when your mind is locked in a deadly battle against itself, tearing apart the very fabric of it’s own existence, struggling for control of your very soul, there is a simple cure. Spend money. I did, and I feel great. And so on.

Toolmonger has an interesting theory that PLASTIC is a great interweave to support and add durability to the shelf as a whole. I disagree, though I value Toolmonger’s opinion. Wall shelves, specifically floating wall shelves, should be wood. Constructed of wood.

I’ve seen a Corner Shelf that holds 50 pounds. There’s no reason to dispute it: I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I have 3 in my home, and 2 at my island retreat, the property known as GoldenIreland. Once or twice a year I’ll make it down to the island to relax, retreat, and refresh. But being out on an island doesn’t mean you can’t organize! There’s always organization to be done, whether you have corner shelves around for use, or not. (Luckily, I did.) You know, Coney Island is a place that needs LOTS of organization. Let’s wish them luck with their Island. I don’t know if corner shelves can help them.

For OUR needs, there is a perfect solution to clutter, the solution I mentioned before. The Corner Shelf that Supports 50 Pounds. Trust me, I know from experience, these shelves are easy to install and look great, too. They boast a terrific hidden mounting system, one that cleverly employs a patented slide-and-slot method of mounting. What that means in a nutshelf: no screws, connectors, or other means of support are visible. As the shelf is locked to the hidden connector and the hidden connector is locked to the wall, you’ve achieved corner shelf perfection. (Perfection always comes with a price, though: the shelf won’t mount into cement or thick plastered walls. Sorry, Pasadena.) This is a shelf that is up to the challenge, especially if that challenge is supporting 50 pounds worth of material. It is what it does, and it does what it is. And so on.

Corner Shelves. Highly Recommended.
