Glass shelf with black brackets mounted on a white wall with small decor items
    Shelf Bracket for Glass or Stone Shelves
    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

    3. Plan for Install

    Each bracket order includes two matching lag bolts for installation into wall studs.

    For other shelving applications, such as drywall or concrete, we offer speciality hardware separately (masonry bolts shown here).

    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.

    Perfect! I finally have my cookbooks in the kitchen. These are very strong brackets. We didn't have studs in the right places so had to purchase anchors - we suspected that would be the case. Overall we are very happy. Thank you!

    These two brackets are half as narrow as the others I ordered last year...but listed online as the same ...

    so far they are holding up the marble shelf with the older 2 from last year .....g but do not match the two next to them.
    please list the width as well online .

    Hi Kathy, thank you for your feedback. So glad to hear the brackets worked out and sorry to hear there was an issue here. In the future, we're happy to help resolve any confusion or ordering issues. While we do include full spec sheet image and PDF links, we appreciate your suggestion and will look for more ways to help customers compare bracket options. Glad to hear the brackets are holding up well!

    Glass Shelf Brackets

    These were excellent quality and finish. Easy to install. I had a question and the customer service was responsive and better than outstanding. I wish more companies provided this level of quality and service.

    I spent a long time searching for shelving options for an empty wall in our new home. I finally decided on glass shelves and these brackets were perfect. They are high quality and the install instructions were detailed (we weren’t able to install into the stud so purchased the additional hardware). I love how it turned out. Shipping was also quick and they were very well packed. Thank you!!!

    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.
