Q:Hello, I want to hang a shelf/desk for a computer. The shelf/desk is made of quartz and is 18" deep, 34" wide, and 3/4" thick. The combined weight of the computer and the shelf is 70lbs. Can you please tell me if this bracket and bracket size is appropriate and what screws and/or anchors I should use? Can you recommend another bracket or bracket size?

Answer This Question

A:  Bracket failure is not the problem Failure mode lies in the pullout value of your anchors. The upper most anchor receives the greater pullout stress. Size your anchors and embedded depth based upon the maximum load you expect to place upon the top plus the weight of the shelf. Divide this load by the number of brackets. Multiply the result times the width of shelf. Divide this by the length of bracket leg to be anchored. This result is the pullout value (lbs) at the top of each bracket. Size your anchors accordingly.

    A:  Hi, Shannon, Thank you for your interest in our product line. Our Steel brackets are extremely durable and heavyweight. While they have not been tested to hold any certain amount of weight, as long as they are installed properly they would have no problem holding over 70lbs. -Joe
