Questions about your bistro shelf

Still unsure? Request a quote and we'll answer within one business day.

How do I measure for my shelf?

Measure the full width of the space where the shelf will go, then the height (ceiling to counter, or the span you want the shelf to cover). Measure in two or three places and use the smallest number. Enter the width of each bay in the builder: the overall width is the bay width times the number of bays.

Which mounting should I choose?

Ceiling + wall is the classic bistro look and the most rigid. Ceiling + counter suits open spaces with no wall behind, like a kitchen peninsula. Wall only floats the shelf on the wall, and Counter + wall stands on the counter and fixes to the wall behind it. If you are unsure, request a quote and tell us about your space.

What are cross bars and do I need them?

Cross bars are horizontal brass bars that run along the front of a shelf. They make the frame stronger and keep items from sliding off. They are optional on most setups, but required for Ceiling + counter mounting and for shelves taller than 72″, because the frame has no wall to brace against or spans a long height.

Are the glass or wood shelves included?

The price is for the solid brass frame. With the glass or wood option, we include a cut list with the exact shelf sizes so a local glass or wood shop can cut them for you. Want us to supply them? Mention it in a quote request.

Which finish should I pick?

Unlacquered brass is raw brass that darkens to a warm patina over time; you can polish it back to bright if you like. Polished and brushed brass keep their look, and antique brass comes already aged. Polished nickel gives a silver tone over the same solid brass frame.

How long does it take to arrive?

Each shelf is made to order. We send you a drawing to confirm your sizes before we cut any brass, and your shelf ships 10–14 business days after you approve it.

How is it installed?

The shelf comes with the brass mounting flanges shown in your design. We recommend fixing them into studs or ceiling joists, or using anchors that suit your wall and ceiling. Most customers have a handyman or contractor install it.

Can I change my design after I order?

Yes, until you approve your drawing. Reply to our drawing email with the changes and we will update it before production starts.

My size or price isn't available in the builder. What now?

For sizes outside the builder, custom shelf spacing, or orders over $8,000, use the quote request. We reply with a drawing and invoice within one business day.

Message us on WhatsApp
How do I measure for my shelf?

Measure the width of the space and the height you want the shelf to cover (ceiling to counter, for example). Measure in two or three places and use the smallest number. In the builder, enter the width of each bay: the total width is bay width × number of bays.

Which mounting should I choose?

Ceiling + wall is the classic bistro look and the most rigid. Ceiling + counter suits open spaces like a kitchen peninsula. Wall only floats on the wall, and Counter + wall stands on the counter and fixes to the wall behind.

Are the glass or wood shelves included?

The price is for the solid brass frame. We include a cut list with the exact shelf sizes so a local glass or wood shop can cut them. Want us to supply them? Mention it in a quote request.

Can I change my design after I order?

Yes, until you approve your drawing. Reply to our drawing email with the changes and we update it before production starts.
