Wanting to hang a small but heavy decorative shelf about waist level. Do these hang flush to the wall or tipped out a little?

The method is an upside down V screwed into the piece being hung, which rests into an angled piece that is fastened onto the wall, wall/. Almost flush result, perhaps a 1/16 out based on metal bend/thickness and how true the wall is. If important, a felt pad would likely absorb the difference. Go for it. Cheap enough and good for 200 or so pounds....

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.

Hmm..Kind of difficultly to say the least, is the only thing I don't like about them. Is a small "loop type" hanger??? on the back but it isn't too good and, I have yet to figure out HOW to get them flush on the wall.

We have ours in our bedroom, against a wall, but not mounted to the wall so they have never "tipped". However I would NEVER have a bookshelf in a house with small children not mounted to a wall. This is extremely dangerous and children have died from a bookshelf falling on them. Not worth the risk. Mount it to the wall.

Tip to tip they are about 56 and a 1/2 inches. I hung mine horizontally, and made the wave in the pattern fit together - it looks pretty good and while it takes up at least the same amount of wall space, it is in a different direction, so if your room is smaller it can help.

It's been awhile since I ordered them, but they are working great on the shelf in my bedroom closet. They keep steady and look decent. My shelf is about 11 " deep and about 1" thick.

I ordered a numbered of these for wooden shelves in an older home. The shelves may have varied slightly and I simply adjusted with a bit of strength and they self adjusted. I love these and have had them hold strong in the closet for me. I love looking in my closets and having it look like a retail store. Good luck.

I have two sets of them stacked in my closet. They work fine, though using just the dowels wont be sufficient unless you plan on using the wall to stabilize them as I did.

No, they are cylindrical and would not sit flush against a wall. They are intended to install into the ground and look best with some space all the way around to accentuate the soft light pattern. The units are extremely attractive and are good quality copper.

The shelfs for some reason are on a slope, so i feel they would easily fall out if you had to keep moving it in & out of somewhere. I hope that helped

I agree with Darrell B. If they are mounted securely they would hold. It would also depend where the main point of the weight was placed and how long your shelf is. A normal shelf with a regular weight spread would cause no problems.

I have them on a shelf that is 3/4" thick. I have another shelf that thick, but has a coat of paint top and bottom, and it does not fit that shelf--due to the added thickness of the paint.

Mine is mounted flush but there is about an inch of space in the back to play around with if you did not want it to be flush. Also there is a rounded section that extends beyond the cabinet. The picture shows this just incase this would interfere with your lighting.

Also, be sure the shelf brackets go behind the top cross bar, then in FRONT of the one under it. Just hanging it loose wont work, shelf will tilt forwards. Done as indicated, shelf will stay level.

They are made to sit flush with each other and I have two units like this installed next to each other with no problem. They give you a clamp at that installs over the top to keep them together at the top. They look nice as a wall unit.

Hi Katherine. I don't know for sure whether hanging a shelf with this type of support would work very well. The reason I say this is because the shelf, especially with items placed on it, would probably tend to pill the studs out of the wall. I think the bracket would be sufficient to hold the weight in regard to a straight downward load, but the problem with the load of the shelf and its contents is that it is cantilevered from the bracket and therefore produces an additional outward load, not just a downward load. I am not a design engineer, so I'm just guessing about it, but I am pretty confident about it. Hi Katherine.

We put ours on top of a bigger piece (3-sectioned bins) and have had zero concerns with tipping. When it's full it's heavy and with the wide base I don't see it. But anythings possible I suppose. The bottom of it has a rim that sticks out so I think it would be difficult to mount on the wall.

Geoffrey I have hung mine similarly. Can't post a pic on the answer so I will do so in feedback. Please look there.
