FAQs
What are the dimensions of these brackets?
The brackets measure 160mm x 120mm.
Are these brackets sold individually?
No, they are sold as a pair to ensure structural symmetry.
Can these be used outdoors?
These are primarily designed for indoor use. Exposure to harsh outdoor elements may accelerate the degradation of the bronze finish.
What type of shelf material is recommended?
These brackets work well with solid wood, plywood, or reclaimed timber shelves that fit within the 160mm depth.
Do these brackets come with mounting screws?
It is recommended to check the specific packaging, as mounting hardware requirements often vary depending on the wall substrate (brick, drywall, or wood).
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose after installation
Ensure the screws are driven directly into wooden wall studs or appropriate heavy-duty masonry anchors.
Shelves appear uneven
Verify that your initial guide marks were level using a high-quality spirit level before drilling.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sturdy construction suitable for heavy-duty shelving
- Classic aesthetic enhances room decor
- High-quality, durable bronze finish
- Standard dimensions compatible with most shelf depths
Cons
- Requires careful installation to ensure perfectly level shelves
- Mounting hardware not always included depending on wall type

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first determine the desired spacing between brackets, ensuring they align with your wall studs. Use a spirit level to mark your drill points before securing the brackets to the wall. The 160mm x 120mm dimensions are designed for shelves ranging from 150mm to 200mm in depth for optimal balance. To maintain the bronze finish, clean the brackets periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the protective finish and lead to oxidation over time.
