Metal Brackets
The Birtley Shelf Bracket in Iron has a simply stylish design, for a traditional style shelf and bracket set.
These metal shelf brackets are handmade in Yorkshire using the same traditional techniques that have been used for hundreds of years. Just like our shelves, these brackets are hand-waxed and handcrafted, meaning each piece has its own unique appearance and markings.
Wood & Wax
Sustainably Sourced Wood
Funky Chunky Furniture’s shelves, mantels, and furniture are crafted from responsibly sourced wood. We work with suppliers who prioritise sustainable forestry, ensuring forests are well-managed to support biodiversity, protect wildlife habitats, and promote long-term regeneration.
Solid Pine Shelves
To make these smooth shelves we select top quality, unsorted, kiln-dried pine. Each shelf is cut to size and finished in our contemporary smooth style. Whilst this leaves a flatter and smoother surface, we still like to leave in plenty of natural timber characteristics and features. Mother Nature’s own stamp of approval.
Despite the machining process to make the timber smooth and flat, being a natural product, solid wood can contain a variety of different features and characteristics. In the Smooth range these features are less prominent than in our Rustic range but can still include waney edges, knots, splits, cracks and shakes, and some sanding marks. These are the qualities that set our shelving apart from the rest. And due to the nature of solid wood, every shelf will be different. Truly unique. One of a kind.
Please note, placing your shelf above a heat source can cause movement within the timber which may exaggerate these natural features.
All sizes and weights given are approximate. As we only use natural, solid timber, measurements can change slightly from one piece to another.

Fine Wax Finishes
To finish these chunky wood shelves, we use your choice of one of our supreme wax polishes, which is professionally applied in our workshop.
As the wax soaks into the different grains and features it enhances their look and brings it to life. Wax not only makes the timber look good, but it is also very durable. You can easily wipe away spillages. And cleaning is very simple. Just wipe with a clean cloth and warm water then leave to dry. But never use harsh chemical cleaners.
The colours are:
- Walnut
- Teak
- Smoke Pine
- Medium Oak
- Rustic Pine
When viewing on screen colours can look different from one screen to another. This makes it less reliable than seeing the real finished timber before your own eyes. Because you want the perfect colour for your home these finishes are available to purchase as small samples. You can order your samples here.
Excellent Product, exactly as described. Ideal for what we wanted. Very good quality and price.

Assembly & Care
Future Maintenance of our Bracket Shelves with Wax Care Packs
We have wax care packs available to keep your shelves looking their best.
They’re also brilliant for fixing damage. A small amount of wax will fix a scratch. Order your wax care pack here.
Strong Fixings & Easy Installation
When you receive your bracketed shelves, the packaging will also include fixings for solid walls. These shelves can also be installed into timber walls, but you would need to use different fixings. We provide you with fixings that have been designed specifically for the installation of our wooden shelves. We are not able to guarantee the shelves if you do not use the fixings we supply.
