Solid Wood Wall Shelf, 11.8 Inches, with Raised Anti-Slip Lip

A single plank of solid wood with a 1 cm lip raised along the front edge, and that lip is the whole point: a small frame, a candle or a pot of trailing ivy cannot creep off the front of it.

It measures 11.81 x 4.72 x 1.57 inches and weighs 0.66 pounds, and it goes up either way — screwed into the wall, or mounted with adhesive if you would rather not drill, which matters in a rental or on tile. Choose from brown, beige or white.

Short enough to fit the odd stretch of wall beside a door or above a desk, which is usually exactly where a shelf is wanted and never fits.
