What is the weight limit, using two of these brackets, for a 36" long and 10 " deep shelf?

I am unsure of the exact limit, but it's not the bracket that has a limit! It can likely hold about 70-80 pounds, the wall construction and the anchoring are more likely to limit your weight. The clamps will keep your shelf secure with a 10" deep unit, but I would likley use three brackets to avoid sagging a 36" shelf.

Since I mounted directly on a stud I used a glass shelve which weight 22 pounds and it holds a 32 flat tv of 37 pounds. So far those are great.

Per manufacturer package insert. Maximum recommended weight per pair of shelf brackets correctly installed is 44 pounds. These should be screwed into studs, 16" on center. For use as a corner shelf, attached to studs, the distributed weight can be 1.5 x recommended weight. If you screw it into drywall, there is no way to assure weight holding capability. I would assume 1/3 the recommended total weight. I have used brackets like these in various places, including the shower in a corner, for soap/shampoo tray. Easy to install and great looking in various finishes. Take a look at C.R. Laurence line of shelf brackets. Per manufacturer package insert.

We haven't tested the limit but we are using a few pairs of them to hold thick plates of tempered glass about that same dimension and holding an XBox, cable box and peripherals just fine.

These brackets only extend out 5" from the wall. I used them for 3/8" shelves that were 8" deep. I would recommend a bracket that extends 8 or 9 inches for 12" shelves.

short wood screws would attach shelf but beware the brackets are cheap and will not carry much weight, they bent just holding a 60 lb kayak

I figure it was about 35-45 lbs. Remember it can hold up to 350lbs per shelf!! Its worth the effort.

I don't know what the limit is but I had both shelves filled with hard-cover books. It is very sturdy.

The unit is sturdier than it looks, but I would limit the weight on the shelf behind the double door to 50 pounds. The base shelf has more support and could handle at least 100 pounds.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up. Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They would be on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any reply on that!

This is not a shelf. It is a shelf bracket. The bracket is about 2" wide (and 48" long) and will hold a 5/8" thick shelf board you provide. That shelf can be any width you want, subject only to the strength of the board and the total weight-bearing capacity of the bracket.

I have 2 sets of China and curios in it. Not exactly sure how much weight each shelf can hold.

I have these brackets and use them for a 15" x 21" extension table in my camper to provide extra kitchen counter space. We load them with as many pots, pans, dishes, condiments as the space will allow. Very sturdy for this application. Now if you are gonna load bricks, anvils, car batteries, then these might not be suitable.. I wouldn't put more than sixty pounds on em. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have a shelf on my brackets. They will support about 8 pounds or so.

This large book shelf holds 20lb max. load and is 10 inches deep. I have hardcover heavy cookbooks and a couple of paperbacks on mine and it works just fine. Make sure you install it properly so it remains sturdy.

I have two steel shelves 6 inch by 36 inch, 1 large 6 inch carbon filter, two 300 watt LED's. Rough weight is around 60 lbs and I think it would hold more.

Scone bracket itself is strong but attachment bracket is light to medium duty .As supplied using plywood shelving could support 30 -40 lbs (32" oc )

Don't know the exact weight but you should be alright in my opinion. They are very small shelfs so you biggest problem will be fitting them on there. Again I do NOT know the exact weight limit.
