These are not your typical DIY wall shelves - our real, solid wood allows you to create a project that will stand the test of time. The lumber we use is ethically sourced in northern New Mexico from forests struck by natural disaster or through land management practices that reduce the risk of future wildfires. Our hand-applied trail brown stain creates a slightly dark-washed appearance with warm hints of tan and varying shades of earthy browns. Unique color and grain variations make these heavy-duty wall shelves truly one-of-a-kind. Not only are you receiving a quality product, but you are also helping to preserve the forests of the American Southwest. Thank you for doing your part to help Restore our planet, one shelf at a time.
