Helped us hang our floating shelves, worked great.

I used the brackets for some hardwood (cherry) shelves and I'm really pleased with the end result. They seem very solid and stable. Some tips if you're considering buying these:- The screws and anchors that come with the brackets are too small; you'll need some drywall anchors instead, with flat head screws (I used #6 x 1-1/4 in screws with 50 lb anchors that take #6 screws).- If you're buying a long drill bit to use with these brackets, buy an auger bit as opposed to a regular twist bit; an auger bit will clear out the waste quicker and better as you're drilling.- You'll need some way to mortise the back of your shelf to accept the brackets. If you're hanging only a couple of shelves, you can chop the mortises with a chisel, just make sure you don't blow out the edges of your board. If you're hanging a lot of shelves, I recommend making a jig for a plunge router with a bushing guide.- And perhaps this goes without saying, but make sure that your shelf is at least 1-1/4" thick if you plan to hide the brackets completely (1-3/8" would be even better - less chance of blowing out the edges of your mortises).

I installed these every couple feet along a drink ledge on a 12 foot long piece of walnut. It turned out really nice and I am happy to not see any brackets under the shelf supporting it. I’ve done a few installations like this now and this one went smoother than any other, despite being the most challenging installation to read on if you want some advice…A quick note of the one bit of weirdness going on here… The holes to mount the bracket to the wall are not aligned with the rod that goes in the shelf so just keep that in mind when you’re choosing your mounting locations. It’s not any issue if you plan for it, but if you drilled your holes in your shelf before you recognize that, you might end up frustratedA half inch diameter bit with a simple drill block to ensure perpendicularity worked fine for making the holes in the shelf. I used painters, tape going up on the front of the bracket and down on the back of the bracket. The back being the part towards the wall. A few inches of painters, tape sticking up is enough to ultimately support the bracket after you position, the shelf, but we’ll get to that in a minute. The second piece of painters, tape stuck on the back of the bracket going down is so that you can insert the bracket into the shelf, rotate it to be in the right position, and then tape the lower piece of tape onto the bottom of the shelf to hold it from rotating. After you’ve done that, with all the brackets, get someone to help you position the shelf against the wall, ensuring that it’s level and use the upper tape to stick to the wall to locate the right position, then remove the tape from the bottom of the shelf. After you do that, with all of the brackets, you can gently slide the shelf away from the wall and the brackets will be stuck to the wall in the right locations. Then it’s just a matter of mounting the brackets to the wall and sliding the shelf back over. In my case, my shelf was 12 feet long, making it pretty cumbersome to handle. So I took a board on either end that was cut to length so that the shelf would be at the right height and use that to temporarily support it which helped a lot.I’m not saying it isn’t still tricky but the other times I’ve done this with shorter and lighter shelves, the alignment hasn’t been as good and it made it very hard to push onto the wall so I think this is a pretty good approach. Maybe if I do this again, I’ll make a little video because that’s always clearer than a write up.

Sturdy and high quality satin finish

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely awesome! Great price, heavy duty painted solid metal. As a lifelong guitarist, I’ve accumulated a few. I didn’t even use them for wooden shelves. Each guitar has its own pair of brackets. Check out my vid:

I used these to build a floating book shelf. The screw holes are a bit wider than the 2x4 studs. So, I just screwed at an angle to make sure and it worked great. These do a great job in supporting very heavy 2x8x84” planks. The bookshelves look amazing and the proxy is sturdy. Highly recommended

I had a contractor install floating bookshelves, and these are the materials that were used. They appeared challenging to work with and offer limited support. In fact, after only a brief period, they are starting to come loose from the wall. Believe me, my contractor is exceptional, but 2x4 studs have their limitations.
