Freestanding
No fitters, no mess — it arrives ready to use and moves with you.
The details
Timeless and versatile, The Compound Shelf brings together solid craftsmanship and refined design.
Handcrafted in our Cardiff workshop from sustainably sourced solid Oak, each shelf pairs the warmth and texture of natural wood with the modern touch of your choice — a solid raw Steel or Brass bar.
Strong, minimal, and built to last, this shelf is designed to elevate any space — perfect for kitchens, living rooms, or entryways — offering both form and function in one beautifully made piece.

Delivery & returns
Collect free from the Cardiff workshop, local delivery across Cardiff & South Wales, or couriered UK-wide. Pieces are made to order — current dispatch times are in our shipping policy.

Care
Dust with a dry or barely-damp cloth — never soaking wet. Keep out of direct sunlight and off direct heat, and wipe spills straight away so they don't sit and mark. Re-oil once a year with Fiddes hard wax oil to refresh the finish.
Real wood — grain and colour vary from piece to piece, and solid timber shifts a little with the seasons. That's character, not a fault.
