The shelves can be made any depth you want. The most important thing you need to figure out is how will you make the thing stick to your wall? Is your wall even strong enough to hold the shelf with the stuff you are going to put on it? \u00a0I install quite a few floating shelves. Some installations go smoothly and are easy. Some are difficult. Sometimes it is necessary to open up the wall to add studs or solid wood blocking, which in turn means the drywall has to be patched up and repainted, requiring multiple tradesmen and a few trips to get the job done. With 25 years of building experience I still haven\u2019t seen everything but I\u2019ve seen about half of it. Experience matters. \u00a0The best advice I can offer you for a successful \u00a0installation is don\u2019t do it yourself! It is not an easy job! There are plenty of possible complications and an experienced pro will know how to handle anything that comes up. \u00a0A novice can make a real mess out of a floating shelf install. \u00a0A good trim carpenter can usually get the job done in 1-3 hours depending on site conditions. Bring him in ahead of time to inspect your wall, and share the installation guide video<\/span> http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2xY7PedIAlQ<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

with him so he will know what to expect. \u00a0I don\u2019t know what the going rate is in your part of the country, here in Tampa Bay it is normal to pay between $30-50\/hour for an experienced trim carpenter, so by my math that adds up to about a hundred bucks well spent.\u00a0Best of luck! <\/span><\/p>\n
