10 in. x 8 in. Oil-Rubbed Bronze Heavy Duty Shelf Bracket

I purchased these to install sturdy wood shelving in our laundry room. They are attractive and hold a lot of weight. The only thing that I didn’t love was that they didn’t come with hardware. Keep in mind if you’re buying hardware, purchase black screws. I only had silver ones on hand, they will do for now.

A beauty!! Definitely recommend!

Light weight but very sturdy

it was sturdy and supported a 70 lb quartz top. the brushed nickel was a match for the stool and it's a great product.

Good finish, clean welding, no sharp edges. I like the chrome color, large enough mounting holes and the arched support. Been using this for about a month and no problems so far. Two of these support a hardened plastic surface used as a dumping table for bottles. The impact is supported well.

Absolutely beautiful and very strong!!!! We used these brackets to hold up a granite shelf in our kitchen, and it looks absolutely beautiful!!!

The shelf brackets worked very well to hold a shelf with a very heavy item. I was very happy with them. Unfortunately, I was led astray by the person at Home Depot about what type of screws would work with it!! Try them out yourself.

Love these brackets...they are beefy and have an industrial or farm decor look...have received many compliments.

These brackets are out of square by nearly 1/4 inch by the end of the 10 inch run. It is truly impossible to get level shelves with these brackets without shiming it... and who wants shims on a brack that does in fact have a very nice design element. It's a shame, I'd love to use it, but I can't due to the need to interface with other shelves that are actually level.

I liked the simple, yet elegant, design of these brackets and bought 2 to use for an old door repurposed into a coat tree. The brackets aren't supporting a ton of weight and they've held up fine for the past month. I wish it had come with screws, but I used my own.

I bought these brackets for open kitchen shelving last year and liked them, so I'm using them again for another project. However, as others have pointed out, the two upper screw holes are too far apart, so only the lower hole and one upper hole can line up with a stud unless you angle them in, which looks shoddy. My solution is to first attach 3/4 inch poplar to the studs--nicely shaped and routed--and then attach the brackets. See photo.

I purchased these to build open shelving in my kitchen and really needed something that was going to securely hold a good amount of weight yet still look good. These were exactly what I was looking for. They are heavy and sturdy but still pretty. The finish perfectly matches the other oil rubbed bronze elements in my kitchen. I needed these centered on my wall so I didn't bother trying to find a stud, I just used heavy duty wall anchors to install them. The kids run and jump around the kitchen and the dishes on these shelves don't even rattle.

I wanted to put a shelf in my garage, and thought that this bracket would be perfect, but, I had issues with it, which made me cancel my plans. It is quite heavy and sturdy, so, I have no doubt that it would have done the job, at least for light loads. And, for the record, the actual size of the bracket is 9-1/2" x 7-3/4", excluding the edge of the rounded 90-degree bend (not unusual, since a "two-by-four" is rarely exactly those dimensions). . I was disappointed that it didn't come with the necessary screws/hardware, whose sizes are listed on the information decal (see photo). I was also concerned that the supporting arch was spot welded through the bracket (see photo), rather than having it molded as a single unit at the forge. The information decal indicates that it has a 600-pound limit, so, if I used three brackets, the load-per-bracket would be significantly reduced, and I wouldn't have put anywhere near that much weight on the shelf, regardless. But, I didn't want to take the chance of a bad weld causing it to collapse (the cantilever effect probably would have prevented that, but, I didn't want to risk it). Thirdly, although the one screw hole at the bottom would have worked fine, the two holes at the top were very close to the edge of the wood it would have been connected to (the attached photo doesn't quite capture that), and I was concerned that a misdrill or weight shift could cause the screw to go through or pop out the sides of the wood, thus damaging the wood. The mfr could have put one hole at the top and another above where the arch meets the bracket (granted, it would have been a little difficult to use a screwdriver, but, a hex head screw would have easily worked with a ratchet wrench), and it would have eliminated the two-ear-at-the-wood-edge issue. Even if I had thicker/wider wood, the other two concerns, above, were off-putting. For these reasons, I decided against using it in the garage. There is the potential for using them in a couple of closets, whose sixty-year old shelves' wood frame supports are beginning to buckle, but, the wood is not exposed (behind drywall), and I would have to risk using drywall anchors to make the heavy brackets secure, which I'm not willing to do (i.e., if I misdrill or if there is an issue with crumbling drywall, I would have to fix the hole and find another location for the bracket); also, the heavy-duty brackets would be overkill for the closet. I'll probably go with a shelf-track system (see photo) for both the garage and closets. For the record these brackets may not be for use where aesthetics may be an issue, as they are not "pretty".

These are solid brackets with a clean visual appearance you'll be proud to show off. However, the designers made the screw holes slightly wider than will fit the profile of a 2x4 stud. That is to say, the screws will miss the stud if driven straight into this bracket, which is a major problem if you expect the bracket to support a lot of weight. I used the brackets anyway, and just drove the screws in, angled toward the center. Not a clean solution, because the screw heads to not lay flush.
