Cool shelfGot this to put in a narrow space (30") between bed and wall, too narrow for a bookcase. Installed it myself! Mounted a shallow (7 1/4") shelf at neck (rather than shoulder or head - ouch!) height with rounded edges and it works great. Holds current reading, a storage cube, clock, etc., and I have more floor room - and compliments on my stylish shelf, too.

PerfectThese brackets were easy to hang and adjust, and they look simple and elegant. They were exactly what I needed for my application, where there was no space underneath for traditional brackets. They come with a chart for how much vertical space they need, but for my 12" shelves I needed about 12" above the shelf. A narrower shelf would require more vertical space.

Could have been useful......except the most critical piece of information was not included in the product description: how long is the cable and can it be adjusted? I wanted to hang this shelf, 6" wide, below another shelf. Because the cable can't be shortened, the higher shelf has to be 16" or so above, which didn't work for me. I'll use the apparatus somewhere #and pickup at a local store was easy#, but I wouldn't have ordered it if the dimensional information, which came with the item, had been in the product description!

Awesome and Versatile - like meThese shelves are awesome for aesthetic ambience especially in the workplace. be very mindful they have sharp corners and hang them above eye level so a distracted engineer doesnt kill themselves while dumping their trash. pricing is a steal! make sure to hire someone to hang them right otherwise it wont work!

Clean LookWe used these brackets to add glass shelving over my husband's desk. Since he is a private pilot, we thought the brackets looked like furnishings for a plane and its hangar. We love the results!

Easy to hangGreat alternative to traditional shelving and allows for a number of options. Definitely for a more modern decor. Minor issue: The wires end up taking up a large amount of space if you use shelves with a typical depth (8"). Not so good if you are trying to consolidate space.

Reminds me of the Golden Gate BridgeI just fell in love with these shelves the first time I saw them. They were so easy to install. I installed them into drywall using the Elfa 1/2" Dry Wall Anchors. I placed them over my bar that is in between my kitchen and living room to hold cookbooks and glass jars containing candy for decorating cookies and cupcakes. They are amazingly strong and great looking. I was really surprised at how fast it they went up. You will need a drill with 3/8" drill bit, phillip's head screw driver (preferably electric), hammer, pencil, ruler or yard stick, and level. I plan on buying some more of these shelves for my dining room as well.

Sturdy ShelvesWe used 2 of these shelves, one above the other, to hold our computer and printer. It made a great desk in a tight space and we never had trouble with them. Easy to put up and sturdy!
If hanging an 8" deep shelf, what is the height of the shelf hung with the brackets?
Asked by: EmmaG
I wish I'd paid more attention in school like JG in DC did! In any case, I just used these (fantastic) brackets to hang a glass shelf that is 24 inches in length, and 6.5 inches narrow. And the vertical measurement from the top of the fastener to the bottom of the shelf is 17 inches. I hope this helps to at least give you an idea?

My glass shelf is 93” long x 9-1/2” deep x 1/2” thick”. How high above the shelf will the brackets be mounted?
I want to hang it above my kitxhed counter and above the range, yet below the upper kitchen cabinets. Space above the 30” wide range is ample, yet the rest of the space is limited under the upper cabinets. Is there some other brackets you could recommend for the space under the upper cabinets? I was thinking these brackets above the range will carry the weight of the rather heavy shelf.
Asked by: Kayco
Kindly reread the question, as that response did not provide an answer.
The detailed secondary question asks if I can combine these brackets with something like the pelican clips for the additional length.

What is the length of the cable?
I need to hang more than one shelf. How much space do I need to leave between shelves (vertically) in order to do that?
Asked by: LizzieC
It appears that the cable is 41" so the height will vary with the depth of your shelf -- it forms a triangle, so the deeper the shelf = less vertical height. A previous Q&A said a 12" depth = 12.5" height, and that seems to check out; I am looking at an 8" depth, and calculate I will need about 14.5" height. (The formulas I used: a + b + c = 41 and a2 + b2 = c2 -- I used a = shelf depth, then plugged in logical values for b as the height and c as the hypotenuse (the length from the outer end of the shelf to the bracket).)

If my shelf is 20"w X 15"D, how tall will the bracket be? Is there a formula to determine height based on specific dimensions of a shelf?
Asked by: Rushbrooke
The shelf kit includes an angle chart for installation, and it indicates that a 15" deep shelf would have a height distance of 7-5/8" from the screw to the bottom of the shelf.

If hanging a longer shelf, can you add more shelf brackets in the middle?
If the recommended shelf length is no more than 30", and your shelf is longer, can you add additional brackets along the length of the shelf?
Asked by: jenjenjenjen
To hang a longer shelf you can add another bracket in the middle, however they are sold in pairs so you might end up with an extra bracket.
