Set of Two Round Birch Wall Shelves

Description

This set contains two circular wall shelves manufactured from 15 mm thick birch plywood with a clear UV‑cured lacquer applied to the top face and edges. The shelves are available in two diameters within this set: one measures 30 cm in diameter, and the other measures 22 cm in diameter. Both have a uniform depth of 15 cm from the wall surface when mounted, as they are designed as shallow circular platforms rather than deep boxes. The plywood is constructed from five layers of birch veneer cross‑laminated with phenol‑formaldehyde adhesive, resulting in a stable panel that resists warping in normal indoor humidity fluctuations (30‑60% RH). The top face is sanded to 180 grit before lacquering, leaving a smooth but not polished surface. The lacquer is a solvent‑based coating that provides moderate resistance to scuffs and minor water spills, but it is not heat‑proof and will be damaged by hot pans or mugs placed directly onto it. Each shelf mounts to the wall via a single concealed steel keyhole bracket that is recessed into the back. The larger shelf (30 cm) uses a bracket rated for 3 kg, while the smaller shelf (22 cm) is rated for 2 kg. These ratings assume the mounting screw is anchored into solid masonry or a timber stud with at least 30 mm of thread engagement. Supplied hardware includes two 6 mm diameter expansion bolts with wall plugs for concrete and brick; for drywall, toggle bolts are required separately. The back of each shelf has a shallow recess (3 mm deep) around the keyhole to allow the screw head to sit flush, ensuring the shelf sits flat against the wall without rocking. The round shape means items placed near the edges may be more prone to tipping compared to rectangular shelves; users should place objects with stable, flat bases and avoid positioning heavy items within 3 cm of the perimeter. The total weight of both shelves combined is 1.4 kg. The edges of the plywood are visible and show the layered veneer construction, which is not a defect but an aesthetic characteristic of this material. These shelves are suitable for displaying small potted succulents, alarm clocks, single candles, or small framed circular mirrors. They are not designed for stacked books, large vases filled with water, or any object that extends beyond the edge of the round platform. Installation requires a drill with a 6 mm bit, a spirit level, and a cross‑head screwdriver; a template for marking the single screw position is not included, so users must measure carefully. The set is supplied in a single flat carton with both shelves wrapped separately to prevent surface scratches during transit.
