What it concludes
- Do not hold a floating shelf up with drywall anchors because they cannot support much weight.
- Place the bracket right on the stud to ensure a sturdy installation.
- Do not glue the shelf in place because friction alone holds it securely and gluing makes removal impossible without cutting.
- Custom steel brackets made from half-inch round stock and quarter-inch plate provide a strong support for floating shelves.
