Floating Shelf Hardware (46" Long)

This sturdy bracket easily held our heavy, wooden mantel. We had to cut the support rods because the depth of the beam was only 6", so we used a Sawzall with a metal cutting blade to shorten the rods to 5" length.Getting the holes in the mantel perfectly parallel with the rods was a challenge. We tried to put the bracket on the mantel and then drill down through the rod holes, but the welds that attach the rods to the bracket only left a small hole in the middle of the rod (not wide enough for a 1/2" drill bit to drill through). That allowed us to at least mark the position of the rods. We then used a 7/8" drill bit to bore out the holes for the 3/4" rods, then mounted the bracket, dry fit the mantel, leveled it, attached the bracket to the studs, and finally used subfloor glue to permanently attach the rods to the mantel. The final product looks great!

These brackets are great quality and rock solid. Installation was straightforward with the instructions that came in the box. Requires some (not included) screws and anchors, though I already had some on hand.

Easy setup. Decided to use bigger bolts so I drilled the holes larger due to a pretty thick solid mantle piece that I had made (paranoia of snapping screws) No hardware comes with order.

Very well made shelf hardware. Used it for live edge wooden shelves to create a “floating: shelf look. Works well and looks good.

This was exactly what we were looking for, but it is hard to get your drilled holes straight and then mount the shelf on it

Slow and steady. I measured and drilled out, wiggle the bit a little to give it a little room. Mounting bracket will need additional holes due to stud line up. I used trus lock to mount. I used my router to remove wood so the bracket will recess into lumber and be flush to drywall. Due to size and weight in my situation it took 2 people to install lumber.

Wish I got this earlier. Great product and great results.

Used to put up solid wood mantle. Good, solid materials and welding. Works perfectly and easy to install.
