Questions & Answers

If I get the 11.61in. bracket will a 12in. Wood plank fit on it? Or do I have to cut off 1/2 an inch from the width the whole length of the shelf?
ByJun 28, 2026

Answer This Question

The bracket is designed to hold 12 in. dimensional lumber (1x12 or 2x12 from the lumber aisle). These boards actually measure 11.25 in wide. If your 12 in. plank is actually 12 in. wide then you'd need to cut 0.75. off of it to fit.

      I purchased 2 holders to create a shelf to hold a microwave and it’s tilting. Anyone experience this? They are screwed directly into the stud. The board is 1-1/2” thick and 36” long.

      Answer This Question

      These brackets can still flex or bend under heavy forward-leaning weight like a microwave, especially since they don’t have a triangular support brace. How the brackets are spaced, how many are used, and how the load is distributed can all affect stability.

          Can this bracket be mounted on the wall upside down from the way it is pictured?

          Answer This Question

          Yes it's totally fine to flip this bracket upside down. Just keep in mind the lip.

            Do these come with screws? If not, what screws pair well with the gold bracket?
            ByNov 22, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            These do not come with screws. We recommend brass finish wood screws from the hardware department.

                If I was to cut the lip would it affect it in any way or for form you said it can bear a load of up to 225lbs when mounted properly I was thinking of adding a much winder shelf
                ByJan 15, 2024
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                You could cut the lip off and it wouldn't affect the weight limit too much if at all. We also sell brackets without lips called our "L brackets" that allow you to use a wider shelf.

                  Don’t waste your time
                  Don’t buy if they have to be shipped to you. The warehouse doesn’t packaged them well. I order 24 and every single one arrived with dents and paint chipped. Had to return them all.

                    DONT ORDER FOR DELIVERY
                    The item itself is not the issue. It's Home Depot's shipping department. I had to place three seperate orders for these. The first order was cancelled because the store that they sent it to to fulfill the order couldnt find them. The second arrived in a ripped up box. They were placed in the box (18 of them) and not secured and no packing material. Every single on had paint damage. I had to do a return and place another order with a discount and they said they were going to have the "manufacturer" put packaging materials in the box. They arrived in another ripped up home depot box with a piece of crumpuled craft paper on top with some cardboard seperators inbetween some of the brackets. They were all damaged again. I am bringing them to a local powder coater to have them stripped and re coated. If the dont have them available in your store where you can check them first DONT ORDER THEM FOR DELIVERY.

                      These brackets are strong enough and probably hold the weight that they are rated for. My one gripe with them is that if you plan on using them for anything other than storing things (like a counter, or in my case holding a keyboard) they are a bit springy because they don't have any triangulated support.

                      Fit my mantle perfectly. Wished it came with matching black screws though.
