Sustainability & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from Reclaimed Materials

Every MyShelf product tells a story of transformation. We believe beautiful, functional home furnishings shouldn't come at the expense of our environment.

Reclaimed & Recycled Wood

Our floating shelves are crafted from reclaimed timber sourced from disused structures, old furniture, and salvaged wood. Each piece carries its own history - knots, grain patterns, and character marks that make your shelf truly one-of-a-kind.

The Shou Sugi Ban charring technique we use on our Burnt Pine shelves not only creates a stunning deep finish, but also preserves the wood naturally, extending its life for generations without chemical treatments.

Repurposed Metals

Our brackets and hardware are fabricated from reclaimed metals - salvaged steel, repurposed iron, and recycled metal stock. By giving new life to disused materials, we reduce waste while creating robust, industrial-strength fittings that complement the rustic beauty of our shelving.

Made to Order in the UK

Every shelf is handcrafted in our workshop only after you order. This made-to-order approach means:

• Zero waste from unsold inventory
• Each piece is custom-made for your space
• Supporting local UK craftsmanship
• Reduced carbon footprint from storage and shipping

Our Commitment

Sustainability isn't a marketing angle for us - it's how we work. From sourcing reclaimed materials to finishing each piece by hand, we're committed to creating beautiful home furnishings that respect both craft tradition and environmental responsibility.
