Questions and Answers for Everbilt 8 in. L White Steel Decorative Shelf Bracket

A:  You can mount the brackets either way but know before hand that the longer side is technically supposed to be the shelf side and the short side goes to the wall. You can swap them but know that the bracket will not extend all the way to the edge of the shelf when doing it that way.

A:  No, it doesn't matter. You can flip the bracket either way to better fit different shelf sizes or just to have a different aesthetic.

A:  I don't think it matters. I wondered the same thing, but there's no instruction on that and I've done it both ways in the past.

A:  You can but keep in mind it won’t hold the same weight

A:  No, I attached longer side to wall. It worked for what I needed it for.

A:  This white elegant shelf bracket has a max weight of 100 pounds.

A:  These brackets are weight rated for holding up to 100lbs each, when securely fastened to wall studs.

A:  50 lbs

A:  It says that max weight is 200lbs. per shelf. I could only mount one of the brackets into a stud, so I'm not going to put that much weight on them just in case.

A:  I am sorry, but I am not understanding your specific request. Could you please reach out to our customer service team at 800-253-1561 for further assistance? We would love to help you figure this out.

A:  Yes, that's what we used and it's working fine

A:  Yes, there are two holes on top. One front and one back. The screws included with the brackets work nicely for this.

A:  Yes, and I recommend you use them.

A:  Yes, there are two screw holes

A:  Yes - we recommend that you use two #6 X 5/8” pan head screws for mounting the brackets to the wood shelf

A:  Yes

A:  I used 2" drywall screws for the wall (into studs) and 6/32 x 1/2 to hold the shelf to the brackets.

A:  It comes with two shorter screws to attach shelf and two longer screws to mount on wall

A:  It depends on what you're installing them on. Drywall, plaster, studs, etc. I installed them on plaster walls but I made sure I hit studs. I then used a 2 1/2" screw to mount them to the wall.

A:  We recommend that you use two #6 X 5/8” pan head screws for mounting the brackets to a wood shelf and two #6 X 1-1/2” pan head screws for attaching the bracket into wall studs.

A:  When mounting on drywall, install on a stud using 2" wood screws. drywall is 1/2" thick and the bracket is about 1/8th" so you will have 1" and 3/8" bite to anchor the brackets.

A:  It's reversible as stated in the description, depending on the depth of your shelf.

A:  Using a cheap wooden 6" ruler I get 10 and 1/4" height and 7 and 1/2" depth. I have used them withe the 7 and 1/2 against the wall and with the 10 and 1/4" against the wall.

A:  This is for the purchase of the brackets only it does not include the shelf.

A:  I used screws with anchors holding 40 pounds.

A:  If you are going into wallboard and use good wallboard anchors, by using 3 brackets, the shelf should be able to hold plenty of weight. It wold be great if at least one of the brackets could screw into a stud. If so, no worries about weight on the shelf.

A:  Use a good anchor ( the type that has a part that spreads out on the other side of the drywall) and avoid putting too much weight on the shelf e.g. a row of books. My opinion.

A:  This bracket has a width of one inch.

A:  They are about 1" wide.
