the anchors that come with this product did not work very wellI wasn't sure how I would feel about these brackets. Originally I wanted floating shelves but my husband didn't like that look so this was our compromise. They are subtle but add the perfect amount of detail and offer an updated version of a floating shelf look! They seem sturdy so far, will update if there are any issues. You will want different hardware, they came with black screws for gold shelves. They also came with anchors which I do not feel like would off much support. We did 5 ft. Solid red oak shelves which are very heavy and used 4 brackets per shelf. Because of the weight, we needed the brackets to drill into studs. The guy who helped us hang them discovered that if we drilled the screws in at slight angles, then all for screws could go into the studs which offered maximum support and strength. See picture. Overall, with a few adjustments, I definitely recommend!Heavy duty???? Not really. First of all, the hqndles holding thr shelf wasnt straight. I put a 16 inch particle board shelf on it (just a regular shelf) and the shaft holding the shelf bent. So my leveling wouldnt work. Also, the plastic anchors which you put the screws in has no edge to hold it on the dry wall. So when you screw in (with sone pressure obviously) it goes in in a hollow space behind the drywall (you use anchors cause you have a hollow dry wall behind it and no studs). I had to buy proper anchors for it.They look ok though. But there is no use if you cant have a levelled shelf on it.I purchased several sets of these brackets, some of the 2 pack and some of the 4 pack. The finishes that I received between items was inconsistent--some were glossy and some were satin. Additionally, the glossy ones especially were peeled/damaged. These brackets are intended to be inside of floating shelves, so the finish issues are not really that important if they are being used as intended. We used these underneath shelves like traditional brackets, and not inside like they were intended to be used. However I was planning to paint them anyhow, so the finish issues were not an issue for me.The wall anchors that were included in the package (white) do not have much of a lip to hold them into the wall, so a couple pushed through while we were installing them. We ended up tossing the included wall anchors and using some we already had (red). Otherwise these were easy to install! We used the hole in the center of the shelf support to attach our shelf to the brackets to prevent it from sliding off.These look strong but mine have started to bend down a little and i didn’t put a large amount of weight on them. The 12” would probably hold up better. Mine are 16” so the weight is leveraged a little further out. Should be a tad thicker metal in my opinion.I couldn't find any brackets at any home improvement store that could support a 16" deep shelf. What I could find were large and triangle shaped with interfered with my purpose for this particular area (a small work from home office I made in a walk-in closet).These brackets are very sturdy and provide the look and purpose I needed.One caveat: Buy better dry-wall mounts. The ones provided with the shelf are not sturdy enough in my opinion. And while trying to install them, the screw actually pushed them back into the wall. And I have installed many a dry wall mount in my lifetime and I do it correctly. Get the ones that you tap into the wall then screw them in rest of the way. They support up to 40lbs each and for a large and heavy shelf like this, you'll need it.We wanted "floating" shelves, or something like it, but they were generally very expensive. We didn't want to spend a ton, and knew that we weren't going to put tons of weight on them, so these were really perfect. They come with wall anchors, and screws, but I certainly wouldn't use them. We attached ours to the wall using lag bolts into studs.Very sturdy wall bracket. Actually i used it to hang our shoe storage that made to be hang inside the closet. I just used one of the two bracket for it. Just use the right screws for mounting.Excellent stuff for a few floating shelves in my kitchen.Cuando lo compre ..según la descripción decía que la longitud de 40 cm. Aguantaría 50 kg . Cuando me llevo no pesaba no medio kilo . Algo tan ligero puede aguantar tanto peso. No lo dude. Lo devolví. Más fuerte es un soporte de TV que está pensado aguantar 15 kilos que esto. Falta detallar el espesor del material que utilizan. Prefiero hacerlo con algún tubo cuadrado de 3 mm que soporta realmente 50 kg.These end up looking really nice and subtle, but also suck. Come with no instructions, so had to guess at the pre-drilling for the drywall anchors. Holes were slightly too big to hold them and had to ditch the anchors for four toggle bolts on one post. Such a pain. Then, when made the holes small enough to need a good hammering, some of the anchors still twisted or poked through. I'd ditch them all and try to find some anchors that match the screws or some other black screw anchors.Il prodotto è come appare in foto. La saldatura sborda un poco ma esteticamente piacevole. Sembra robusta ma, a scanso di sorprese, ne ho installate 3 per una mensola di due metri che si riempirà di libri. Per sicurezza.
