Folding Shelf Brackets, Max Load 300 lb, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Collapsible Wall Mounted Shelf Brackets for Table, Space Saving DIY Bracket, Pack of 2 (2, Foldable 12")

I first anchored 2"x4" vertical boards into the studs of my room using counter-sunk pan head screws and then I mounted these brackets to those boards, again using my own pan-head screws. The result is strong, and I'm happy that I bought these, despite that they cost more than simpler brackets. The metal is thick enough and the hinges are strong when extended, so I think they justify the 300lb rating. My guess is that many vendors don't sell 24" brackets because they can be loaded up to provide leverage enough to pull out of most plaster walls since the provided mounting hardware is light/medium duty, not similar to what I use to make wood-to-wood secure installation (anchor screws with deep threads). I like that they fold so when my wife wants to use the project room I can stash the shelf and fold away the brackets, and reuse the shelf anytime easily by just folding up. Worth the price, and strong enough to do the job -- if properly installed/anchored into studs. Glad I bought them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great product Functionality: Easy and works as hoped Weight: very light yet sturdy Ease of installation: very easy install Bracket quality: Nice product. No complaints here.

Used these for a shelf in my garage. I mounted my Milwaukee battery chargers on a shelf I made using these brackets and it's really nice. Will buy more if needed. Very sturdy.

They are just bent sheet metal brackets with rivited hinge points, so I'm not sure the 300lb rating would hold up in court. They did work great for my use though. I just wanted a small folding wall shelf to hold my 6" bench grinder to a otherwise useless space between my garage doors. I also wouldn't trust the hardware provided. I used some larger diameter lag bolts for my application.

These brackets are durable and easy to use. The size is perfect tor the retractable table I needed. The hardware is included. My only complaint is that the release levers could be a little longer so that they are easier to push.

Did exactly what I needed

I marked the locations for the mounting screw holes and pre-drilled the three holes in a common fir 2 x 4. The first screw snapped the head off before the any reasonable torque was applied by the cordless driver. Moved the bracket to miss the now broken screw embedded in the wood. Repeated the process again. Ran the second screw in and, guess what? The head snapped off that screw also. These are the screws supplied to secure the brackets to the wall, etc. I wonder how anything could be made so inferior. Used my own screws and no problems.

easy to install, just right for a little side shelf in our camper. looks very nice and well made.
