Handmade Traditional Shaker Peg Shelf - Ready to Paint

Bring classic charm and effortless organization to your hallway, kitchen, nursery, or bedroom with our Traditional Shaker Peg Shelf. Handcrafted in our Salisbury workshop, this premium peg rail shelf combines traditional styling with heavy-duty construction.

Crafted from premium 25mm Moisture-Resistant MDF (the industry gold standard), this shelf significantly cuts down your painting prep time. It is highly stable and engineered to withstand everyday ambient moisture and humidity without warping or bowing.

Material Note: Depending on our current stock, we use either Medite MR (brown exterior with a green core) or ATI MR (solid green core). Both are identical, premium quality, and paint up exactly the same.

Pre-Sanded & Ready to Paint
Every Traditional Shaker Peg Shelf arrives unpainted and pre-sanded, to save you hours of prep work.

• Pro-Tip for a Smooth Finish: Use a good quality MDF primer first, followed by your chosen topcoat. Give the first coat a quick, light sand once dry to knock back any minor fluffing, and your final coat will look completely seamless.

Built for Maximum Strength & Durability

• Traditional Shelf Details: Features a large, traditional Roman Ogee profile on the underside of the shelf, beautifully balanced with an incorporated micro-round on the top edge to remove sharp corners.
• Hidden Structural Strength: Assembled using high-strength wood glue alongside a combination of hidden internal mechanical fixings. You will never see them, but they give the shelf unbeatable rigidity.
• Premium Hardwood Pegs: Features solid, traditional hardwood pegs built to securely hold coats, bags, or towels without snapping.
• Mushroom Plugs Included: Supplied with wooden end-grain mushroom plugs to cleanly cover and hide your installation screws.
• Please Note: Wall fixings are not supplied. Because wall types vary (plasterboard, brick, etc.), you will need to supply your own suitable screws and wall plugs.

Your Choice: Pre-Installed or Supplied Loose?
Because our shelves arrive unpainted, we want to make your DIY painting process as easy as possible. Please select your preference from the options above:

Supplied Loose (Recommended for Painting): We supply the hardwood pegs and screws loose in the box. This allows you to easily prime and paint the shelf flat without having to mask around the pegs. Once dry, simply screw the pegs into place from the back! (Fitter's tip: Avoid getting thick paint inside the peg holes, as they are engineered for a precise, snug fit).

Pre-Installed: We will fully glue, screw, and fix the pegs into the rail for you before dispatch. Please note that if you choose this option, the pegs are permanently fixed and cannot be removed for painting.
