A good buy
I like the design and ease of installation. I've had to adjust the bars a few times. I'm unsure if it's a wall mounting issue because the bars loosen often. In addition to the shelf, the only other weight is 4 pairs of ladies' heels. I want to like the product and will determine what is causing the bars to loosen from the wall. However, it's a good buy and will definitely make your floating shelves look beautiful.

Solid brackets but the screws & anchors are worthless
I used the brackets for some hardwood (cherry) shelves and I'm really pleased with the end result. They seem very solid and stable. Some tips if you're considering buying these:- The screws and anchors that come with the brackets are too small; you'll need some drywall anchors instead, with flat head screws (I used #6 x 1-1/4 in screws with 50 lb anchors that take #6 screws).- If you're buying a long drill bit to use with these brackets, buy an auger bit as opposed to a regular twist bit; an auger bit will clear out the waste quicker and better as you're drilling.- You'll need some way to mortise the back of your shelf to accept the brackets. If you're hanging only a couple of shelves, you can chop the mortises with a chisel, just make sure you don't blow out the edges of your board. If you're hanging a lot of shelves, I recommend making a jig for a plunge router with a bushing guide.- And perhaps this goes without saying, but make sure that your shelf is at least 1-1/4" thick if you plan to hide the brackets completely (1-3/8" would be even better - less chance of blowing out the edges of your mortises).

Measure 5 times, then maybe some more, then sleep on it.
These are sturdy and easy to screw into the wall, no problem. But building floating shelves that will sit level and support weight requires more.Making the shelves sit flat and level requires carefully selecting the wood, taking care in the placement of the brackets on the walls, being precise about the placement of the holes in the shelves, and, most critically, keeping those holes very, very straight. If you are handy with a level, good with a drill, and a bit too obsessive with measuring, then you shouldn't have a problem. Otherwise, be prepared to put a bunch of holes in your walls and/or live with some crooked shelves.There is one big issue with these brackets, and its the spacing of the screw holes. They are spread out across the bracket for stability and so the supports don't get in the way of getting the screws in. The problem is that they are just far enough apart that, if centered on a stud, both screws will fail to catch the stud.Putting the screws in at an angle will catch the stud, but this can move the bracket that you so carefully measured and placed. I suppose you could use drywall anchors, but I really don't like those for any more weight than a picture. The best practice is to cut out the drywall, put in a cross beam, redo the drywall, and then attach the bracket to the cross beam.Yeah, I didn't want to do all that either.I ended up lining up the bracket so that one screw could go straight into the stud, then using a super long deck screw at an angle to catch the stud, and going very, very slowly so that the bracket stayed where I wanted it to stay. It worked, but I'm not proud of it.So if you read all that and this still seems like a good idea, then I have a couple of other quick tips.One, you will need long drill bits to bore the holes. I guess 8 inch bits could work, but I like to have a little wiggle room, so I used 10" long bits. The diameter you need for the support to fit snuggly is a 1/2" bit. A twist bit makes a nice clean hole and so does a paddle bit, so the shelf should slide on and off the support with very little resistance if you use a 1/2" bit. I wanted them to be a teeeensy bit tighter, so I used a 3/8" bit paddle bit to bore the hole, then used a 1/2" bit to bore it again (basically just running it in and out real quick). This makes the hole just a little uneven on the inside instead of clean, so it grabs on to the support with more clutch.Second, if you want the things to be truly flush then you will need to chisel out a little cavity for the plate to slide in. I decided to put a couple shelves up without doing that. I used 2X6 for my shelves, and with them that thick, the gap created by the bracket plate is barely noticeable. If you use anything smaller than 2X6, then you will probably need to hide the plates.

Great product but some hints required
I bought these for some shelves in my bar with 145mm timber. I intentionally bought these too long and all though these are steel, it was not too difficult cut off the excess length. Unless you are fixing these onto a solid wall, bin the screws and plugs. I was fitting onto a plasterboard wall and found the best way to secure was with spring toggles, any type of plug with a flange results in the back plate rocking and never appears secure. The other tips I would advise is use a pillar drill to ensure straight holes, cut a batten with the distance between the brackets this ensures you are always working with the same spacing and the last one is to use a 13mm drill bit as this makes it a bit easier to mount the shelf. overall a great product
