  1. L-Shaped Shelf Brackets: L-shaped brackets are the most common type of shelf bracket.They have a horizontal arm that attaches to the wall, and a vertical arm that supports the shelf. These brackets are simple, sturdy, and come in various sizes to accommodate different shelf widths.

  2. Floating Shelf Brackets: Floating shelf brackets are designed to give the appearance that the shelf is "floating" on the wall without visible support. They are usually hidden within the shelf, creating a sleek and minimalist look.

  3. Cantilever Shelf Brackets: Cantilever brackets have a long horizontal arm that extends from the wall to support the shelf. They are often used for heavy-duty applications, such as supporting garage or workshop shelves.

  4. Decorative Shelf Brackets: Decorative brackets come in various ornate designs and styles, making them a great choice for adding a decorative element to your shelving. They are often used in living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.

  5. Adjustable Shelf Brackets: Adjustable brackets feature a series of holes or slots along the vertical arm, allowing you to adjust the shelf height to your preference. These are versatile and can accommodate shelves of varying thickness.

  6. Hidden Shelf Brackets: Hidden brackets are designed to be concealed within the shelf itself, providing a clean and modern appearance. They require precise installation to create the illusion of a floating shelf.

  7. Heavy-Duty Shelf Brackets: Heavy-duty brackets are designed to support substantial weight loads. They typically have thicker and more robust construction to ensure the stability of heavy items like books or tools.

  8. Corner Shelf Brackets: Corner brackets are specifically designed to support shelves placed in corners. They often have a triangular shape to fit snugly in the corner of a room.

  9. Folding Shelf Brackets: Folding brackets are hinged, allowing you to fold the shelf up when not in use. These are commonly used in spaces where space-saving solutions are required, such as workshops or laundry rooms.

  10. Slotted Angle Shelf Brackets: Slotted angle brackets consist of metal angle pieces with pre-drilled holes, allowing you to create customized shelving solutions by connecting them with bolts and nuts.

  11. Wall-Mounted Shelf Brackets: Wall-mounted brackets are designed to attach directly to the wall, providing sturdy support for shelves without the need for additional vertical brackets. They are often used for industrial or garage shelving.

  12. Glass Shelf Brackets: These brackets are designed specifically for supporting glass shelves. They usually have a minimalistic design to showcase the glass shelf's transparency.

When choosing shelf brackets, consider the weight capacity you need, the style that complements your decor, and the intended use of the shelves. Proper installation is crucial to ensure the stability and safety of your shelving system.

User questions & answers

Question: what is the thickness of the mounting plate? Will 1/4" recess cover that
Answer: Yes... more than enough.
Question: I have a 5ft shelf I am trying to install. Is it the set of 4 that holds 50lb or a single one will hold 50lb? I will be placing glass dishes on the sh
Answer: Single one will hold 50lbs, 4 brackets will hold 200lbs. You can place glass dishes on the shelf
Question: How can I secure both screws to a 1.5” wide stud if the flange is 2” wide? Turn it on it’s side
Answer: Hi Jay, thanks for your question. You can drill another hole on the bracket (in the middle of the two existing ones) and screw the bracket on the stud using the new-drilled hole and one of the existing ones. It would not be ideal to turn the bracket on its side as it wont be strong enough to support the shelf.
Question: How wide of a shelf can these support? Would they work with a 10" or 12" wide shelf
Answer: Of course. 12" is ok
