Shelf Brackets 5.5 x 4 Inch, Heavy Duty Black Metal Floating Shelf Bracket, Rustic Farmhouse Decorative Iron L Bracket with Lip/Hook, J Brackets Wall Angel Corner Brace for Wood Shelves - 6 Pack

This review is for a 6 pack, heavy duty black 12” floating Metal Shelf bracket sold by Qualward Store.I purchased these shelves 4 times in various sizes because they are.that.good! And the measurements are perfect. I ordered similar brackets to these that were too small for what they advertised and my standard sized shelf boards would not fit. So frustrating.These brackets are indeed heavy weight and SOLID. As you can see I have ALOT of heavy books and these brackets are more that capable of handling the weight. I did have to install heavy duty toggle bolts in the drywall though to handle all the weight as the screws and anchors provided were laughable for the weight these brackets can handle. Just could not see them managing the weight of my books - or even the brackets themselves! And they look fabulous!So happy with these.

I bought these to attach to my fence to hold up planter boxes. They are doing great. With the dirt, plants and water the boxes are rather heavy however these are doing a great job keeping them up. I love the look!

These brackets seem quite sturdy. I’m not planning on loading them up a ton but they feel like they’ll hold plenty. Some reviewers complained about the mounting screws. I was planning to buy different screws, but the ones that came in the kit were fine. I just predrilled the holes, then ran the screws in using a Dewalt driver. No issues there. The only issue I did have wasn’t a problem with the brackets. I purchased a 2x12 at the local big box home store expecting it to measure 1.5x11.5 actual. Which would have fit the bracket perfectly. Unfortunately I didn’t notice until it was too late that the thickness was 11 inches, making it 1/2 inch too small. The brackets are sturdy and look nice. I do recommend them.

These look good and work well. Straight forward installation and quality product.

Very sturdy. Some of the brackets have a rough finish on the sides. If you need every bracket to look pristine, these might not be for you.

These were cheaper options than what my wife found elsewhere on other sites and I needed six of them so it suited my needs it those regards. They are pretty sturdy and the paint job, while not the greatest wasn't terrible. It also shipped really quickly. But be aware of the following issues and proceed at your own risk...1. They will not come at a perfect 90 degree angle. They will be slightly bent upwards but when I added the weight of the wood shelves they seemed to flatten out a bit more. Granted they were 6' 2x12's so pretty hefty boards. Not a major deal breaker for me.2. They say they have beveled holes. They show images of beveled holes. But they also show images of them without beveled holes. As others pointed out and I will reiterate, they came WITHOUT beveled holes so the screws won't sit flush. Don't fall for the beveled hole trick if your life's purpose centers around beveled holes being in your shelf brackets. You will be disappointed and no one likes being disappointed.3. This is the BIG one...DO NOT, and I mean, DO NOT use the screws that come with them. They are cheap and the heads break off easily. I ventured down that path. I read the reviews saying the same thing. I thought, meh, I'm smarter than the average Al Borlin. I'll drill some holes first, go nice and slow, whisper some sweet nothing's to it and boom, there won't be an issue. WRONG! Holes or no holes, the first one snapped off just as it began to snuggle up against the bracket face and I found myself digging out a chunk of sheet rock around it just to extract it. Curse words may have been spoken at that point (the rage black out makes things a little fuzzy). Luckily once I came too, the bracket was wide enough to cover my extraction point. And on the bright side, it did help me learn a new trick on extracting broken screws from sheet rock. Yay ingenuity!So clearly it was either the screws being cheap or my sweet talk game needs to be upped. Either way, do yourself a favor and invest in a box of quality black screws from the local hardware store. Personally, I ended up using composite decking screws I had laying around and used a black sharpie to paint them black to match. Or if you are the stubborn type that knows better than those that have gone before you, you can use their screws and be OK with patching holes in your sheet rock if you prefer...but when you awaken from your rage black out, just know, we told you so.

These shelf brackets are perfect to hold my books. I have another shelf with these brackets holding 48 hard cover books plus decor. They are very sturdy, fashionable brackets. Very easy to install.

They did the job.

Sturdy, easy to install and look great! Works order again!

The shelf brackets were easy to install. It looks great on a wall when wooden shelves are added. Not only is it useful, but it also gives a perfectly rustic look. The product isn’t “cheap”, it’s made from a material of quality.

I got these to store my sewing machines when I'm not using them since it says they can hold the weight. We put them into the studs and used 2"x12" boards. I am so happy. They are very sturdy and easy for my husband and I to install. I would definitely buy them again 🙂

Used these for our rustic shelves. Loved the sturdiness of the material, and the black colour. What I would have liked is to have the screw hole at the back, that holds the shelf in place, to be a bout a half and inch forward, so that you can drill the screw in without the drill hitting the wall . Also, if the holes has a recessed area so that the screw can settle in without the screw head protruding. However, you could say it all adds to the rustic look!

Used them for pantry shelves last year. Looks great.
