EVALD Floating Shelf Brackets | Hidden Black Carbon Steel Brackets for 8-inch Board (7 1/4" True Size) Kitchen, Nursery | Minimalist Design for Fireplace Mantel, Bookshelves, Bar Wall Shelves 4 Pack

Made we’ll and very sturdy

Great sturdy brackets! Fit perfectly in the stud and look great!!!

Work great. Only criticism I have Is the mounting holes to be closer together. They are a little over 1” apart, so mounting directly into a standard 2x4 has to be precise to get the maximum hold. Measure correctly.

The included screws aren’t the best, but otherwise these were easy to install and quite sturdy.

Good quality and value. They do the wood and space perfectly. The only “problem” we ran into when hanging them was the lack of a stud on one side of the shelves. For that we had to use the large grey wall anchors. Do not use the little ones, it will do nothing but spin when you try to screw it. Other than that, they turned out great!

I recently completed a project which involved mounting a 150 lb mantle. I needed heavy duty brackets. The 8” are rated for 400 lbs. I order four brackets and attached directly to wall studs with provided screws. I also notched the underside of the mantle to recess the brackets. They are strong, no sagging at all. Very happy with the end result. I’d give them a big thumbs up in a nutshell great bracket and inexpensive.

The six brackets that I got are all formed correctly unlike what I've seen in some reviews of quality not being consistent. I've used them for one 48in shelf already and they seem extremely sturdy. I would, however, never recommend not going into a stud as the design does not distribute weight as well as more visible brackets do (but that should be expected).You do have to be careful about lining up the brackets correctly so the ease of install can be a bit of a challenge and a good laser level or level and a straight edge is needed if you want to install any shelf close to level.

Used for some thick floating shelves over our coffee bar - great support!!
