About this piece
A deep shelf on exposed steel, built for loads most wall shelves are never asked to carry. At 14 or 16 inches deep it takes stacked dinnerware, rows of cookbooks, and folded towels with room to spare.
The L brackets are cut from quarter inch thick, 2 inch wide American steel, powder coated matte black. Each one holds roughly 100 pounds mounted into studs. Hang them under the shelf for the classic exposed look, or flip them behind it for a near floating profile.
Lengths run 16 to 72 inches, in solid oak or mahogany, walnut stain, or poplar for painting.
Exposed brackets are also the easier answer on brick, where hidden hardware is a fight.
