Floating shelves add a clean, modern look to any room—and their seemingly invisible mounting hardware is always a conversation starter! A pair of these I-Semble Heavy-Duty Floating Shelf Supports can mount a shelf up to 14'' wide x 48'' long x 1-1/4'' thick, with an overall combined weight (shelf plus load) of 125 lbs. Each shelf support consists of two opposite-facing metal posts: a thinner wall post and a thicker shelf post. Flat baseplates on their ends connect the posts with screws. One end of this post assembly fits into a 3/8''-diameter hole drilled into a wooden wall stud, and the other post end slides into a 1/2''-diameter hole drilled into the shelf back. A routed or chiseled mortise in the shelf back hides the mated baseplates.
Our shelf supports have helpful adjustment features that let you fine-tune the shelf for level—both front-to-back and side-to-side—for professional results. We also offer an I-Semble Floating Shelf Support Drill Guide (#74463, sold separately) that makes hand-drilling accurate post holes easy.

Once installed, the shelf supports are completely concealed by the shelf for a clean, modern look
