    Installation

    Measure 6 feet up from the floor and insert the hanging hardware of your choice; anchor and drywall screws are recommended. A D-Ring and wall protectors are pre-installed on your ruler.

    Avoid hanging near sources of heat or moisture as this can cause the wood to swell which can lead to cracking, bowing, or changes in the finish.

    Materials

    All of our pieces use real solid wood. We do not use plywood or pressed/engineered wood.

    Because these are real, solid wood, and handmade, each piece will be unique. We make no attempts to hide Mother Nature's kisses (knots, marks, swirls, or varying grain patterns).

    Pieces made from natural wood may shift slightly due to temperature and humidity; this is normal and should be expected from season to season.

    Care

    Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals and household cleaners to protect the natural finish. Dings, dents, smudges, or fingerprints may be sanded out.

    *Do Not Sand White or Stained wood

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What marker or pen should I use?

    The marker or pen we recommend varies based on the wood type. This blog post shows examples on different wood species :Pen & Marker Examples

    How do I hang the ruler?

    A D-Ring and wall protectors are pre-installed on your ruler. Measure 6 feet up from the floor and insert the hanging hardware of your choice; anchor and drywall screws are recommended.

    Avoid hanging near sources of heat or moisture as this can cause the wood to swell which can lead to cracking, bowing, or changes in the finish.

    Can it start from the floor or use a different scale?

    Our marks begin at a 6 inch mark and run 5 feet up from there. For example, we can go from 6" to 5'6", 1'6" to 6'6" (default), or 2'6" to 7'6".

    We are unable to start measurements from the floor or a full a foot mark (0', 1', 2' etc.)

    Can it be longer, taller, or wider?

    At this time we're limited to a 5 foot span that's 6 inches wide.

    Will it run into my baseboards?

    The lowest mark is 1'6", which typically allows plenty of space for baseboards.

    Can the words go in the opposite direction?

    Sure! By default, we attach personalization starting from the 6 foot mark and head downward.

    If you'd like your personalization to start lower and head up toward the top, please specify this in the notes box at checkout: FLIP ORIENTATION

    How do I attach the arrows?

    We recommend a little wood glue, super glue, or even school glue that dries clear. Once your arrow is in place, a little bit of painter's tape can be used to hold it in place while it dries.

    How long do rulers take to ship?

    We do our very best to ship within 4 business days. Transit typically takes 2 to 7 days from there, depending on your zip code and your distance from us in Ohio.

    What if my ruler arrives damaged?

    On the off-chance your ruler has a rough ride getting to you, please reach out to us within 7 business days. We'll work with you to find the best resolution, which may include a replacement or a refund. In some cases, we may provide supplies for minor cosmetic fixes, only if a customer feels confident in their DIY skills.

    My ruler got sauce/dirt/stray marks on it. What can I do?

    If you have a ruler in its natural form (not painted or stained), a damp cloth can be used to clean it. You can also sand the area without harming the finish.

    If your ruler is stained or painted, first try cleaning the area. Do not attempt sanding. Rubbing alcohol should remove permanent marker from white rulers, though it does remove the sheen as well. In some cases, it may be best to paint over or restain an area.

    Absolutely love these blocks. It is the second time I have purchased them (first set were large nearly four years ago) and the quality is consistent. These will last lifetimes and could easily be passed down to your children - they can inscribe a new name on the name block or just use the time focused blocks. Additionally customer service is top tier and worked with me to make sure I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Great shop and product that I highly recommend!

    It's a quality piece and easy to hang. I haven't made any marks on it since I'm worried about the marker bleeding on the wood so I might order the little arrow markers but we're excited to use it as our kids grow!

    I am so happy with how my board turned out- thank you so much!! It’s super high quality, beautiful and just perfect! So happy I went with this vendor over some of the cheaper, less nice alternatives. The raised letters are great and the overall quality is wonderful. It was awesome to be able to choose my exact board too. Customer service was super helpful and shipping was incredible fast. I’m shocked at how quickly this item arrived. Highly highly recommend!

    Cannot express how gorgeous this ruler is! The 3D numbers and family name just look perfect. The measurements are accurate as well. Also LOVE the hook and pads in the corners because it helps the board hang so well on the wall.
    We got the full walnut piece and it does just in come in one cohesive piece. I looked at dozens of these and was very nervous about ordering. If you have doubts, order this one!

    This piece is absolutely stunning!
    I purchased one of these for myself three years ago and my only regret is that I did not do this sooner. My kids admire it and measure their heights every day. Every kid and teen that comes to visit finds themeless measuring height and looking at old markings. It is a main piece in my living space and I have only come to love it more with time.
    Fast-forward to now. My sister has a baby who is now a year and a half old and it is the perfect time to start this tradition. I purchased this for their family as a Christmas present, but let them have it early. Wow! It is so beautiful. These one with care instructions and easy to follow directions on hanging. I highly recommend. If you are on the fence, just do it. You will not regret it. What a great seller and a wonderful piece to cherish always.
