FAQs
What is the material of the bracket?
The bracket is made from durable, solid cast iron.
Does this include the screws for mounting?
No, mounting hardware is not included as the required fixings depend on your specific wall surface.
What are the dimensions of the bracket?
The approximate dimensions are 18 cm (H) x 18 cm (W) x 5 cm (D).
Can I use these for heavy wooden shelves?
Yes, they are designed to be sturdy, but ensure you anchor them correctly into a solid surface to handle the weight.
Is this bracket suitable for outdoor use?
This product is primarily designed for indoor use to maintain its finish and prevent premature weathering.
How many brackets should I use for a long shelf?
For shelves longer than 60 cm, it is recommended to use at least two brackets, with an additional bracket for every subsequent 50-60 cm of length.
Troubleshooting
The shelf feels unstable or wobbles
Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened and ensure that both brackets are perfectly level with one another.
Bracket pulling away from the wall
Verify that you are using the correct wall anchors for your surface type; heavier loads must be anchored directly into wood studs or masonry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, hold the bracket against your wall and use a level to mark your desired height and spacing. It is critical to ensure both brackets are aligned precisely to prevent the shelf from wobbling. Always use screws and wall anchors appropriate for your specific wall material (such as masonry, plaster, or wood). For care, periodically wipe the brackets with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Because these are made of cast iron, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads that might damage the brown finish. If the bracket is placed in a damp environment like a utility room or bathroom, monitor the metal for signs of oxidation and touch up the finish if necessary.
