Product Information

The Oaknook Hanging Rope Shelf is a wooden shelf slung from hemp rope and hung from a single hook above the desk. It puts a plant, a short stack of books or a candle at eye level without taking any surface away from the desk below it. A rigid shelf reads as a fixture, whereas a hanging one reads as furniture, and the difference matters in a room that is not purely an office.

The rope gives it a small amount of movement, and that is what separates it from a rigid bracket shelf. It reads as part of a room rather than as office fitting, which makes it suit a bedroom, a hallway or a corner of a living room as readily as a workspace. It also suits walls where a bracket would be awkward, since a single hook can go into a joist or a picture rail rather than requiring a level pair of fixings.

Hanging from one hook means installation is a single fixing rather than a levelled pair, and repositioning it later costs one hole rather than two. Two wood tones are available. Keep the load sensible and check the hook is rated for the weight you intend to hang from it. Hang it clear of a door swing and away from anything it can knock against, and remember that a plant plus its pot and wet soil weighs considerably more than the plant alone.

Eye level, off the desk

It puts a plant, a short stack of books or a candle at eye level without taking any surface from the desk below. A rigid shelf reads as a fixture, whereas a hanging one reads as furniture, and that difference matters in a room that is not purely an office.

One hook, one hole

Hanging from a single hook means installation is one fixing rather than a levelled pair, and repositioning it later costs one hole rather than two. It suits walls where a bracket would be awkward, since a hook can go into a joist or a picture rail.

A little movement, a softer look

The rope gives it a small amount of movement, which is what separates it from a rigid bracket shelf and lets it suit a bedroom or a hallway as readily as a workspace. Two wood tones are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is it fixed up?

It hangs from a single hook, so installation is one fixing rather than a levelled pair. That also suits walls where a bracket would be awkward, since a hook can go into a joist or a picture rail.

How much weight can it take?

Keep the load sensible and check the hook is rated for the weight you intend to hang. Remember that a plant plus its pot and wet soil weighs considerably more than the plant alone.

Where does it suit?

It reads as furniture rather than an office fitting, so it suits a bedroom, a hallway or a corner of a living room as readily as a desk. Hang it clear of a door swing and away from anything it can knock against.

Is there a choice of finish?

Yes. It comes in two wood tones, so you can match it to a desk or to the rest of a room.

What is it made of?

It is a wooden shelf slung from hemp rope, and the rope gives it a slight movement that a rigid bracket shelf does not have.
