    L Bracket - Metal Shelving Support
    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.

    These brackets are wonderfully made and looked great. They included everything we needed and had great instructions on the site if you needed help. Our daughter wanted her bed surrounded by books, we feel confident now with the set up because these brackets are made so well!

    Worked great to hang two wooden shelves! I was confused when the one part of the bracket had only one hole even though the pictures show two on each side.

    Loving the brass finish! This was my first time purchasing after having the black brackets for years. I love the finish! Super sturdy, high quality, and the shipping was amazingly fast which I appreciate so much.

    I purchased my first products from Cascade Iron in 2019. Since then, I’ve moved. Despite insisting that I’d be bringing every shelf & bracket with me when I moved, I ultimately relented and left the shelves for the new owner. I’m now beginning the process of shelving my new home and I’m pleased to report that in nearly 6 years, the quality, integrity, and excellence of these brackets is as impressive as ever. As a longtime buyer, sometimes you see a decline or change in the quality of the goods, but that’s not the case here. This was my first time buying the silver and gold finishes - previously I just used the black, and I love them as much as the black finish. Highly recommend.

    Second purchase from Cascade Iron. Low profile, strong shelf brackets. I like that they can be installed in either direction (up or down) and that they send varied hardware for installation. Thanks!

    Excellent quality! Very strong! Nice powdercoat. Low profile and discreet; brackets are sturdy without taking us shelf space. Would use this seller again.

    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.
