MaxTite Floating Shelf Brackets are designed mount directly to the studs and project from the wall, making the bracket virtually invisible after installation. Boasting a clean, hidden, floating look, MaxTite half-inch thick steel brackets are premium quality: square and rock-solid, brackets will not bend or flex. Stability is further enhanced by a long vertical tang preventing twisting. Perfect for floating bathroom vanity, shelves, benches, mantels and more. When choosing length, stay back 2-4 inches from the edge of the shelf (remember that about 3 inches will be inside the finished wall). For maximum support it is recommended to install one bracket on each stud. Wood screws included for easy installation; can also be installed to metal studs (metal fasteners purchased separately). Pre-drilled holes are countersunk for flush fit. Height of vertical leg: 8 inchesWidth of vertical leg: 2-3/8 inchesWidth of horizontal support: 2-3/8 inchesThickness: 1/2 inchColor: Black
