Concealed inside the shelf board, this 34 inch bracket carries the load while showing nothing beneath the shelf, which is the look that visible L-brackets cannot deliver. Premium steel with thickened rods and reinforced welds supports up to 190 pounds, enough for stacked books, dishware, a small appliance or a collection of framed pieces. Rods project 6 inches into the board and the mounting plate spans 34 by 6.2 by 1.5 inches, a footprint that reaches multiple studs on a standard wall. Boards measuring 36 to 48 inches long, 2 to 3 inches thick and 8 to 10 inches deep drill straight onto the rods, so a shelf can be cut to a room rather than bought to fit hardware. A rust-resistant coating protects the steel in a kitchen, a bathroom or a garage where humidity would mark bare metal. Anchors and screws for stud, concrete and brick walls ship with the 5.07 pound bracket.
