Custom Brass and Stainless Steel Shelf Configurator
Design Your Custom Solid Brass Shelving Unit
Design a made-to-measure shelving frame in solid brass or stainless steel. Set the mounting type, width, height, depth, number of shelves and sections, tube diameter and finish, and watch the price update as you build. Every unit is made to order in about 1 week and delivered to the US or Canada in 3–4 days. US orders arrive with duties and import taxes already paid.
How It Works
- Design it. Choose how the unit mounts, then set your exact dimensions, shelf and section spacing, tube diameter and finish.
- Preview it. Rotate the 3D model, see it life-size in your room with AR on any iOS or Android phone, and download the technical drawing as a PDF.
- Order it. Check out with your specifications attached. We send a technical drawing for your approval before production starts.
- Receive it. Production takes about 1 week, then UPS Air delivers in 3–4 days.

Mounting Types
Choose one mount or combine them. Ceiling, wall and countertop / floor fixings can be used together; freestanding units stand on their own.
Ceiling
Tubes drop from ceiling flanges with no wall contact. The classic hanging bistro bar shelf for kitchens, islands, home bars and restaurants.
Wall
Wall brackets carry the unit at the back. The most common choice for kitchen shelving, bar backs and pantries.
Countertop / Floor
Base flanges fix the tubes to a countertop, bar top or floor. Usually combined with a ceiling or wall fixing for tall units.
Freestanding
Stands on base feet with no fixing at all. Portable and repositionable, common in retail displays and showrooms.
Popular combinations
- Ceiling and wall: two-point support for tall units and commercial bar fit-outs.
- Countertop / floor to ceiling: runs from the counter or floor up to the ceiling. Ideal for bar back shelving and room dividers.
- Wall to countertop / floor: sits on the counter or floor and anchors to the wall. Common for backsplash shelving and tall, heavily loaded units.
What the Price Includes
The price covers the complete metal frame: tubes, fittings, flanges and installation screws. Shelf surfaces are not included. We don't ship glass because of the breakage risk; once your order is confirmed, we send the exact dimensions so a local glass shop can cut 3/8″ tempered glass to fit. Wood, marble and stone shelves work too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it solid brass or plated?
100% solid brass, with no plating, paint or coating. Stainless steel units are solid stainless steel.
Will unlacquered brass tarnish?
Yes, unlacquered brass develops a natural, warm patina over time. Let it age, or restore the shine at any time with a brass polish.
How much weight can each shelf hold?
Each shelf supports 80–120 lbs, depending on how the unit is anchored and the surface it's fixed to.
Are glass shelves included? What glass should I use?
Glass is not included. We recommend 3/8″ tempered glass. Once your order is confirmed, we send the exact glass dimensions so your local glass shop can cut shelves that fit perfectly.
How long do production and shipping take?
About 1 week to make your unit, then 3–4 days by UPS Air to the US or Canada.
Will I pay customs duties or import taxes?
Not on US orders. We ship US orders DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): duties, import taxes and customs clearance are paid by us, so there are no extra charges on delivery. Canadian orders may be charged import duties and taxes on delivery.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the contiguous US and Canada. Alaska and Hawaii are currently not served.
Can I see the shelf in my space before ordering?
Yes. Every configuration has an AR preview, so you can view the unit life-size in your room on any iOS or Android phone.
Can I get a technical drawing or CAD file?
You can download a PDF technical drawing of your unit while you design it. We don't provide CAD or DWG files.
How do I mount it to drywall, concrete or joists?
Timber joists and studs give the strongest hold. Concrete and masonry use masonry anchors, steel beams use self-drilling screws, and drywall without joist or stud access uses rated toggle bolts. Installation screws are included, and we'll help you choose the right hardware for your surface.
Should I choose 5/8″ or 1″ tubes?
5/8″ tubes give a slim, light look. 1″ tubes look bolder and are stiffer, which suits taller and wider units.
Can I adjust the shelf spacing later?
Yes. On request, we pre-drill mounting holes along the vertical tubes so you can reposition shelves easily.
What is the maximum size per section?
Each section can be up to 45″ wide. For wider installations, sections are combined, with no limit on total width. Height and depth are fully customizable.
Can I order sizes or layouts not shown in the configurator?
Yes. For non-standard dimensions or complex layouts, use the free quote form. We'll prepare a technical drawing and price within 24 hours.
What happens after I check out?
Your unit is added to the cart with all its specifications. After you order, we send a technical drawing for your review, and production starts only after you approve it.
Can I return a custom unit?
No. Every unit is made to order to your dimensions, so custom orders can't be returned. That's why we send a technical drawing for your approval before production starts.
