Heavy duty 90 degree L brackets made with 2" wide steel in powder coated colors; raw steel, black, brass, white, silver

    1. Choose Bracket Size

    L Brackets are super versatile and do not need an exact size. Choose a bracket at least 2/3 the depth of the shelf. For example, a 12" deep shelf could use a 9" or 11" bracket.

    2. Bracket Quantity

    Many shelves need more than two brackets for enough support. For shelves longer than 36" we recommend three or more. Check out our guide for more info

    Your Choice of Installation

    L brackets can be installed under a shelf for a classic look or behind the shelf for a more hidden, minimal design. Both are just as strong and secure.

    I’m super impressed with these brackets. They’re super high quality and include the mounting hardware, so I wasn’t scrambling at the hardware store trying to find the correct screws. I mounted solid walnut shelves, and these brackets handled that with no issues. Also, I was in a rush, and these arrived super fast. Thanks!

    We wanted a slimmer looking steel bracket for the kitchen to match other black steel closet brackets throughout the house. Included Lag bolts are also matching and a nice detail. Pictured is the 11" option, (minwax golden oak stain on lowes premium pine not included)

    These brackets are just what we were looking for! Shipping and packing was speedy and secure and instructions plus website were clear to follow. We picked up 3/4” thick cherry dimensional boards for shelving at a local spot, Woodcrafter’s Supply, in Portland, OR.

    The brackets came with two sets of screws (longer vs shorter) and I’m sure the shorter ones would have worked fine but we were a little nervous, so we picked up some small washers at Ace, painted them black, and feel good about the extra spacing. See photos.

    This is a high quality shelving set up that would have cost $$$ at a place like Rejuvenation.

    We LOVE how our project turned out with Cascade Iron Co!

    Love these brackets. Took a while to have custom shelves made to match my vanity, but now that it’s all done it looks terrific. Solid and perfect.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    How Long is each support side?

    L brackets have two sides: an "arm" which holds the shelf and a "leg" which mounts to the wall.

    The size options reflects the arm length.

    Every bracket has a 6" standard leg to mount to wall. This create a minimal look and is also strong enough to hold the shelf.

    Do You Make Custom Brackets?

    Yes! We are happy to work with you to create brackets custom fit for your shelving project. Just send us a message with the details of your project and we'll get the ball rolling!

    How Long To Get My Order?

    We work hard to get orders out as soon as possible. Typically, we ship out orders within 1- 3 business days, though larger or custom orders may take a bit more time. Shipping time depends on location & size of order.

    If you take a look at our reviews, you’ll see that quick turnaround and customer service is something we take pride in.

    Can I Order a Sample?

    Yes! We offer a Sample Finish Kit for all of our metal finishes so you can see the finishes first hand.

    Can L brackets mount both directions?

    Yes! Our L brackets can be mounted below the shelf (classic) or flipped, with leg behind and above the shelf for a more minimal holder.

    versatile, classic, strong

    Our shelf brackets offer reliable support for a range of shelving needs. The Standard L Brackets are ideal for basic wall shelves in bathrooms, kitchens, and offices, providing sturdy and stylish support. Also available in a double bracket design.

    For larger or heavier shelving projects, like garage storage or commercial displays, our Heavy Duty Brackets deliver extra strength. Versatile in design, they can be installed beneath the shelf for added support or behind it for a minimal, floating effect, making them a great choice for unique shelf sizes and raw edge lumber.
