8 Pcs 5" Black Solid Steel Floating Shelf Bracket Blind Shelf Supports - Hidden Brackets for Floating Wood Shelves - Concealed Blind Shelf Support – Screws and Wall Plugs Included

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.

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.

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.

Great value!

These are fabulous! Great invention for holding weight and my DIY project.

These shelf brackets work as described. No issues with quality. Enabled shelves to be installed with no visible means of support. Shelves were constructed with 1/2 inch gap and they slid right onto the wall brackets with no problems.

Exactly what i needed. Great look. Solid feel. Sturdy and strong.

The pins themselves are great but the wall anchor that come with them are crap. Pulled right out of the wall after 1 day. Not much weight on the shelf either. Maybe 5 pounds. Buy better wall anchors!
