4pcs 6-2/5" Floating Shelf Invisible Support Bracket,Hidden Shelf Support Brackets Hardened Concealed Floating Shelf Blind Wall Shelf Floating Shelf Metal Brackets

These are excellent brackets. But a few pointers Don't use the white wall plugs. All floating shelves should be screwed into timber studs for strength and stability. Use a good quality stud finder. i used the Franklin T13 stud finder which detects wood. Worth the $100. Use a spirit level to mark the bracket locations to make sure your shelves are level. Drill the holes in the wall. I used a 6mm drill piece or you could use a 15/64 inch imperial bit. I used multigrips to screw them in. With the shelving I used a drill press at work and used a 31/64 drill bit which is equivalent to 12.3mm. It gives a little wiggle room and the knurled part in the middle is a bit wider and grips into the hole. You could use a 12.5mm drill but but 12mm is too tight unless you drill the same hole a few times. If you dont have a drill press make sure you use a dowelling jig. Dont try and drill by hand as if you drill on a slight angle you wont get the shelf all the way flush to the wall. If you've measured everything perfectly tap the shelf in using a hammer and block of wood bit by bit. The brackets are off centred so you can slightly turn them left or right so everything lines up. You could also push them into the holes by hand. The wood i used was HUON pine - a tasmanian timber 42mm thick and 1300 and 930mm long

These support brackets were exactly what I need to support several floating shelves I installed in my home. They were easy to install and are holding nicely. Good value for the money I would highly recommend.

The board I used for the shelf was as thin I would recommend at 3/4" thick but I used a mill with vise to drill the 1/2" diameter holes perfectly perpendicular 5"+ deep. If I was using a drill press and vise I would have used a board at least 1" thick. I attached the posts directly to the studs for maximum strength. For accurately locating the post positions on the wall I installed one post into a stud then slid the shelf onto that post with the other two posts set into the other shelf holes, leveled the shelf off then pressed them into the drywall making indents. I really like the cam feature of the posts which makes it easy to fine tune the side to side and vertical positions to level the shelf. The axis of the stud portion was not perfectly parallel to the axis of the screw portion (different than the cam feature) so I placed it in a vice and tapped it with a rubber mallet to align them. I am pleased with these and I would purchase again.

As others have pointed out, there are no instructions with these, and nothing to explain the anchors supplied are really for masonry only. No drywall anchor will work very well with these. Put these directly into studs or forget it. That all said, these are a good option for floating shelves of 1 1/2" or thicker. I used a doweling jig to ensure the drill bit went in the shelves level. Then I used the removable doweling jig head against the drywall, to ensure the holes drilled in the studs were also level. The drill bit that worked best in the shelves was a 31/64", but a 1/2" would be OK. I have no metric bits, so can't confirm the correct metric size. A 3/16" bit worked well for the studs. Once the brackets were threaded into the wall studs, using Vice-Grips or a 7/16 open-end wrench, the slight offset helps get these aligned with the holes drilled in the shelves. The offset helps to level the shelves as well. It is critical everything is level and straight for success with these. Once installed, these are invisible and strong. They leave a small footprint in the wall to fix, if you take the shelves down in the future.. I would use them over all other free-floating bracket options.

Flimsy!! Bought a 4 pack and the last one snapped in half during installation. (See picture.) Of course it was the last one so now we have one of two shelves up and it looks so dumb. We’re left with either removing them all to return and leaving 4 gaping holes in the wall or have to buy a whole nother pack just to replace the broken one. Wish there was better customer service. The portion that screws into the stud snapped and is stuck in our wall, rendering the whole thing useless.

Finally installed the first shelf... it took a while:))) 1) must!!! Shelves thickness at least 1 inch, more even better (otherwise you might drill the shelf while making the hole for the supporting pin) 2) Drill with 12mm drill bit and take the long one, you won’t regret 3) Make or buy a jig to center the drill bit or you might drill the shelf 4) Go with the drill several times down and up until the pin goes almost freely 2/3 of the length, then push hard both sides of the shelf to the wall Good luck

I used these for a customer who wanted a floating mantle on their brick fireplace. I was a little nervous about doing the job in fear that I might mess something up but these brackets worked amazing.

I was amazed at how well this works. I hung 4 floating shelves for my wife, and I am not a DIY'er, in any shape or form. I would recommend using a drill press for the shelving units.

Installed 4 of these to put a 1500 x 250 x 30mm long floating shelf. Perfect for what I needed

First off: It's true, there's absolutely no way these would be able to bear any weight in drywall/plaster. However if you have the right tools and know how to drill properly, when installed correctly in studs, these things are great. I did a quick test in the basement just to see if they worked. Drilled 15/64 holes perfectly level into a couple of 16" OC studs, then two 1/2" holes into the edge of a 3/4" shelf, cranked them into the studs, and slid on the shelf. Because the thick rods are eccentric. they are somewhat forgiving if the holes aren't equally spaced. I tried it with a very deep shelf, maybe 12", and even with that moment arm, you have to push down really hard on the outside edge to get any appreciable deflection.

They cannot be used on a hollow tiled wall as there are no fittings available for that size thread. They are only for concrete or walls where there is timber fixing

IT came with no instructions, not even what size the holes needed to be. Very difficult to line the holes up . A template would have been helpful. Very sturdy once installed

they don't swivel like some of the other types when inserting in the hole yet they are very strong made of steel. i will buy more and recommend to others ,value for money
