Oak Shelf for the Kitchen – Configurable, Made to Order
- 75 × 180 × 35 cm
- FSC oak
- Made in Germany
- Configurable in 3D
The kitchen rewards a calm, plainly made shelf. Oiled oak (FSC European) reads warm against tile or stone, takes the occasional splash without complaint, and ages into something a glossy melamine surface never can. KUUDU's 75 cm section grid fits between most cabinet runs; the half-depth board (15 cm) keeps the shelf flush enough not to crowd the worktop.

The configuration shown here is one section wide, five levels tall – a tall narrow kitchen shelf for jars, glasses and a handful of well-used cookbooks. Level heights are chosen per gap, so the bottom can carry a row of tall storage jars and the top a row of glasses without wasted air. Standing models include the round oak foot rosettes that distribute load on a tile floor; wall-mounted models attach at a single line at the top.
Configure it live in 3D. The depth toggle (15 cm / 35 cm) is visible from the first step, so you see immediately how the silhouette changes between a slim wall shelf and a fuller pantry piece. Pricing updates as you go; the order is the configuration you tested on screen.

FAQ
Is oak suitable for use in the kitchen?
Yes. Oiled oak handles kitchen air well; the surface tolerates small spills if wiped promptly. We don't recommend installing directly above a stove or sink without a splash zone, but a kitchen wall shelf for jars, plates and cookbooks is a typical use case.
What depth works best for a kitchen shelf?
For most kitchen wall situations the 15 cm half-depth board works well – deep enough for glasses and storage jars without protruding into the workspace. The full 35 cm depth is right where the shelf carries cookbooks or larger pots.
Can I combine open shelving with closed storage?
KUUDU is an open-shelving system; we don't currently offer closed cabinets. Many customers combine KUUDU above a worktop with separate base cabinets, or use a tall freestanding KUUDU section in a pantry corner for jars and dry goods.
