Customer Reviews for Ekena Millwork 2 in. x 3 3/4 in. x 6 in. Hammered Dark Bronze Embrey Steel Bracket

Back in 2016, I decided to replace my mailbox. I ended up cementing a 6x6 post into the ground and installing a "faux" stone cover over the post to give it an upscale feel. Fast Forward to 2020 and my mailbox gets hit by an oncoming car which did not stop. The bracket that came with the mailbox post was destroyed. It was falling apart, so I didnt feel bad about finding something to replace it. I went to Home Depot's website and found this Ekena Millwork Bracket, which looked like it would work perfectly with my setup. I ordered it, had it delivered to the store. When I went to pick it up, I went to the Hardware Aisle and picked up some 1/4" x 3" Galvanized Lag Screws for my post in addition to 1/4" Flat Washers in order to mount to my post. I got everything home, drilled new holes in the fascia of the stone cover, and mounted this new bracket. I attached my old mailbox and a new address applique to the top and it was good as new. I siliconed the bracket to the stone to fill in gaps. Today, 2/29/2020, A Chevy/Cadillac SUV hit my mailbox AGAIN! I found pieces of their mirror in my yard, but the bracket held up well. To fix it this time, all I had to do was tighten the lag bolts back down. The mailbox remains fully functional, even after todays hit. This bracket is the real deal and I am glad I purchased it!

Got it to support a rv carrier and it has worked really well for that. I have no fear that this bracket is going to break or bend.

The brackets are great.

This is a stout bracket was perfect for my need to support to add a shelf to my boxcar lumber table (very heavy stuff).

Very nice sturdy brackets. Great for my need to mount a free floating counter to my wall. The metal surfaces were much rougher than I expected - I had to be careful when handling with bare hands to avoid getting cuts. It appears the manufacturer used a very course wire grinder on the surfaces to give a brushed appearance. Brackets are definitely brushed, look good, but are sharp to the hands (or knees that come under counter)

Bracket is very heavy and able to support large heavy shelf. The ends were unfinished and will need filing to make them less sharp. Overall great product.

Great product very Sturdy and well made. It worked perfectly.
