Very good product
I used these to hang some floating shelves that I made from some 12 x 4 wood. They worked well and are well made. The hole placement could be better but I made my own holes and was able to use them how I envisioned. I do recommend them.

Solid bracket
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. Iâve 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 adviceâ¦A quick note of the one bit of weirdness going on hereâ¦ 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 youâre choosing your mounting locations. Itâs 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 weâll 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 youâve done that, with all the brackets, get someone to help you position the shelf against the wall, ensuring that itâs 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 itâs 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.Iâm not saying it isnât still tricky but the other times Iâve done this with shorter and lighter shelves, the alignment hasnât 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, Iâll make a little video because thatâs always clearer than a write up.

Served it’s purpose…but some where not usable
I only needed a few and this had enough to cover my project’s need. I used 2 per floating shelf and had to make sure I measure each pair for diameter and angle because there were slight variations in both. They are pretty sturdy if you can get them on a stud. I used deck screws and they are solid! All an all, they got the job done and the wife is happy with the end result.

Well made! Great value!
Solid product. Not used for shelves but instead worked great for my clamps. Would purchase again and use for floating shelves, if needed.

These are longer than you think
They work excellent, but you have to be very careful when you drill the hole in your wood shelf. It has to be exactly straight or else you’re going to waller it out. They take a little patience and work, but the end result is gorgeous. The bit for these is going to run you around $25 – $35.

Solid brackets for floating shelves
We are renovating the kitchen in the short-term rental and wanted to add floating shelves. The drywall needed to be redone so I reinforced the area where the shelves would be and used longer screws to secure the brackets. I found a butcher block countertop that I was able to cut up and use wooden dowels create a corner shelf that would float with these brackets. Turned out great. Can’t wait to see the finished product with the cabinets all done.

Mounting holes too wide for studs
The mounting holes are too far apart, and you can only get one screw into the stud unless you turn the bracket up and down. Also, these brackets are not that stable.

Metal bends very easily. Also would not recommend using screws provided as they broke within the wall when drilled into studs. Overall would suggest purchasing another product.
