How close to the wall does this put what you are hanging? Suitable for old wood "floating" shelf?

It basically allows the item your hanging to hug the wall. I refinished an old door and hung it as a headboard using two of these and there is no gap between the wall and the door.

I have not used it for floating shelves. The clips will extend from the wall about 3/8"+. Because of the tolerances it would be tough to maintain a perfectly horizontal shelf. I have used the z clips extensively to hang plastic bin boxes to hold parts and screws and I find them very satisfactory

The shelf corners hang from a vertical support arm (uprights?) that has a inch or two wiggle room. They connect to a brace that must be anchored into solid wood (ceiling joists) on either end of the vertical support arm. You'll need to install bolts from the outside so the shelf cannot be so close to the wall that you can't install, and tighten the bolt. There was a series of back and forth install steps that I needed to go through before I had the shelf put up properly, but I am happy I went with this product. It looks solid and dependable. Good Luck

It would really depend upon what you were going to put on the shelf. Its only two fixed shelved are the very top and the very bottom, and to use any sort of bracket effectively would require at least partial removal of the heavy cardboard backing which goes a long way towards the unit's stability (I speak from experience; I have two of these one with and one without the backing." And I would *NOT* trust hanging this with rings and tacks.

Around 12 and 1/4 inches. Just over 12 1/2 inches if you include the slight protrusion of the hangar bars. Basically if you add an 1-1.5 inches to the depth spec of the shelf you should be more than fine.

No. At best, feet will be only half on the shelf. [This is weird! I went back to check again after seeing RCB's answer. With the unit pushed as far back as possible, the fronts of the feet are 12.25 inches from the wall, so I have to stick with 'no'. Good luck!]

Hi, I would not recommend this for a shelf if you don't have some sort of vertical support under the shelf. The vertical support would keep the shelf from hanging forward and down a bit. I've used this hanger for a cabinet since it is more vertical than horizontal.

Hanging is sufficient, however it tends to slide from side to side. Attaching screws will help

Most likelyIt needs a small space between the edge of the shelf and the wall to hang in. The top is just a lip that sets on top of the shelf and it hangs under.

I have several on a shelf I mounted on the wall. They are partly open in the back, so you could try putting 2 picture hanger-type hooks in the wall (level and about 7 1/2" apart) and catching the back of the unit on the hooks. I'm not sure how secure this would be, so I'd squeeze the hook as tight as possible to make it hold snuggly. I'd give it a good firm wiggle & tug before putting anything in it. Don't use it if it's not really secure; you don't want it falling off the wall once it's loaded. A shelf might be better.I think if you try to drill holes in the plastic it will crack the plastic.

I cut the two side legs and mounted the unit on a wall. I don't know if this item will fit your space...sorry

I believe so - but I stress this is my best guess and there may be a complication I am not seeing. Looking at my install, which is very near the corner, it appears the shelf would need to be wired to the bracket, but there is enough over hang to do so. The shelf would of course be sitting off center on the two brackets to accomplish this.

You are only getting the shelf anchor. The distance from the wall depends on what size shelf you buy.

As long as the shelf is not heavy they will hold 50 pounds look at the weight of the shelf and what you plan to put on it. I have a very heavy old picture and used two hooks for it and has held for years.

There is no connection on the bottom of the shelf. There is a lip on the top side of the shelf if you wanted it to hang off on the edge, depending on what kind of hook you had that would be pretty secure. Honestly, if I were going to hang lights, I'd run a piece of light weight jack chain diagonally between the 2 corner posts. The eyes in the beams would be easy to connect too. Then hang whatever you wanted off the chain.

I don't think it will work. The hanging bar is about three inches and it has two hooks on the back side. Ifthe rod isn't out far enough there would be a space problem .ii can se other problems might arise with stability.

you can hang on a wall, it would not be very flat though, still about 18" sticking out.
