Goovilla Shelf Bracket, Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Brackets 12 inch Long, 12 Pack Brackets for Shelves, Black Coated Metal Wall Shelf Support Brackets with 1/5 Inch Thick and 160 lb. Load Capacity

I do not usually write reviews but I am impressed with the packaging of this product. Each bracket was individually wrapped in a bubble wrap bag and even includes a little level. 2 different kinds of plugs were included as well as the screws needed to hang the shelves. The brackets are heavy and appear to be high quality, the finish is a flawless mat black. I will definitely order from this company again. Can’t wait to get my shelves hung and styled!Thank you for the quality product at an affordable price.

Great looking and very durable. All hardware included is definitely a plus.

My husband always uses the “L” shaped brackets. I found these. They are very sturdy & look very nice & neat when put up. From now on, I’ll be using these!

super great quality. thick and sturdy. Very happy with purchase for my floating shelves

We used 4 of these brackets for fireplace build and they’re perfect. We used a repurposed barn wood beam cut down to fit our fireplace. It’s likely 60-80lbs and these brackets have no problem holding it up. It’s obviously supported well from behind too but I’m pleased with the look and strength of these brackets.

Off the bat: the brackets are sturdy and they’re nice. the price differential is large compared to big box store offerings, and I’d like the fact that you can hide them pretty well. It’s a nice minimalist design.Now onto the relevant information that might set this review apart from others and hopefully guide you to install these so that they don’t look like junk.It is very nice that they include all of this hardware however, most of it is useless to me.The screws are what’s called posidrive (#2), which is a European form of the Philips head. have you ever assembled IKEA furniture and stripped out all the screws while you were installing it? That’s because you were using a regular Phillips bit in posidrive screws.Oddly enough, a couple of the screws are actually regular Philips head. Which makes things confusing. (look at the picture and the ones on the left are posidrive the one at the end is Philips. look at the picture and the ones on the left are. You can tell the posi drive by the four diagonal markings, and how the interior space is a bit larger than a normal Philips)What does this mean? Is it if you don’t use a posidrive bit by the time you get these things into the wall they’re going to look stripped out and the nice black finish is going to be missing. Do yourself a favor and get the proper bit or more appropriate screws the included screws are #8).Youd be surprised how complicated it might be to find black coated screws of the appropriate size and length…. so my advice would be to keep the screws but to get the appropriate bit. Honestly, it should probably be included.The drywall hangers are going to look bad, because they’re too large, and they will likely stick out the sides and be visible. the masonry anchors are OK but again I would choose something different.Since there are four holes per shelf, bracket you likely won’t get all four into a stud. That means for most installations into drywall you will need some form of anchor.You don’t need three different types of anchors. get one anchor that will work well in drywall and in brick, and in concrete I’m a big fan of Fischer anchors, the #8-10 masonry. A box of 100 is like $10 and well worth it. No I'm not some kind of clandestine marketing agent for them. I would suggest toggle bolts as the most ideal solution supporting the most weight in drywall. However, I think it will be hard to get them to appear seamless with four holes per shelf, bracket.Point is: listen to the guy whos used every single kind of drywall anchor or any other kind of anchor for that matter. The other drywall anchors either make a mess, pull out too easily, don’t form a firm grip in the wall, or cause other kinds of headaches that you just do not want to deal with…. the frustrations outweigh the potential gains of a nice new shelf.Anyway, I’m the kind of person who already has all of this junk, but I’m assuming that the vast majority of those purchasing these are not aware of these issues, and will likely lead to disappointments of various kinds.However, for the money, it’s a pretty good deal. If you need a bunch of these it would make a lot of sense to get the proper bit and better anchors.If I were the seller, I would not be providing 20 different kinds of anchors or screws with different drive heads. I'd get one kind of anchor that works excellent for all use cases, include the posidrive bit since its rather rare in the US, and maybe upgrade the bubble level - it would probably be the same cost or less as what they’re doing now and likely lead to happier customers.

Perfect for mounting my heavy shelves

We purchased these for some pretty solid and heavy custom made Honey locust solid wood shelves pretty sure each one weighed in over 28lbs just by themselves. They look amazing and I'm not at all worried about how these brackets will hold up they are solid. These were for my office floating shelves, we'll be getting more for my living room shelves.
