FAQs
There are a lot of variables to consider when selecting shelf brackets, floating metal shelves or other wall mounted hardware. We try our best to make choosing and installing hardware easy! In addition to our Helpful Guides, we're answering common questions here. Plus, we're always happy to help directly.
How many pounds can a shelf bracket hold?
HIgh quality shelf brackets can hold a considerable amount. Our standard 1" wide brackets hold 75 lbs each while our heavy duty brackets (2" wide), hold 100 lbs each. Because we use a higher quality, thicker steel, our brackets hold more than those typically found in big box stores or mass produced online.
Of course, it's important to consider all variables besides weight capacity. We go over all the things to consider when buying shelf brackets in the How to Choose Shelf Brackets guide.
How many brackets do I need for a 72 inch shelf?
Four shelf brackets are recommended for a 72 inch shelf. Longer shelves like this require support down the length of the board. It's important to consider shelf length not just the weight capacity of each bracket.
In fact, we recommend the following guidelines to determine how many brackets are needed based on shelf length:
| Length of Shelf | Recommended Quantity of Shelf Supports |
| 0-36 inches | 2 |
| 37-68 inches | 3 |
| 69-100 inches | 4 |
| 101- 132 inches | 5 |
| 133 - 164 inches | 6 |
