Knick Knack Shelf - £19.80
This interesting small shelf unit from our reclaimed hops pole collection is perfect for displaying your knick-knacks on.
The chunky shelves portray a certain rustic sturdiness and to ensure that it is not just about looks the shelves are dowelled and glued in place, so no assembly is required, and the whole unit can be fixed to a wall using the 5mm diameter countersunk holes. (Fixings are not supplied, as it is important that you use the appropriate fixings for your wall).
The shelf unit is 33cm high and has an overall width of 43cm and a depth of 11cm. Each shelf is 33cm wide and 8cm deep. The distance between shelves is 14cm. (Please note all dimensions are approximate).
The shelf is finished with a natural oil to bring out the wood grain and other features unique to the material that it is made from.
Please note, the photo is of a typical example and will not be identical to the one you receive, as due to the nature of the material used each piece is completely unique.
And to state the obvious...The items shown on the shelves are not included.

Important Notes
As the wood we use has been very well weathered (they were stuck in a field at one time after all) you can get a wide variety of colours. From the natural wood tones, to greys from the ‘silvered’ weathered wood, to black from the reaction of the wood with steel fasteners and even a hint of green may remain from the tanalising used to help protect the wood from rot.
You will also see splits in the wood from weathering, and often evidence of various fasteners that were used to hold the wires and mesh to support the hops.
These all add to the interest of the piece, and we try to include these features and colour variations where possible.
If you just want a bland piece of ‘perfect’ wood furniture then these are not for you. If on the other hand you want something that tells a story, a talking point even, then these are definitely worth your consideration.
It's worth remembering that wood will continue to move even after its been turned into a piece of furniture. Warm dry rooms may cause the wood to shrink slightly and cause cracks to enlarge or appear. Conversely cold damp environments can cause the wood to swell.
Direct sunlight might also cause the timber to change colour.
