I want to attach a 19.5"x17" cutting board to the side of my kitchen cabinet. Will one bracket work or do I need two? The shelf is 1.6 lbs.

I would recommend two. As you said it is a cutting board and a single bracket will not withstand the torsion applied when cutting something outside the center-line. Two brackets - one on each edge will be extremely solid.

I think you "could" get away with using one. However when attaching the cutting board to the bracket make sure you do it in a way to prevent the cutting board from rocking. If you cant then use 2.

I have about 75lb on two brackets. One will sefice for you. I would put two to make it steadier for a cutting board. Great brackets

I have 2 of them hooked together and have no problems. Are using 5mm shelf pins they are a little smaller.

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

Technically yes,but shelf will be very wobbly. You need two shelves to make it stable.

I used 2 for a 12'' Shelf about 16'' long for a coffee maker . Worked just fine, also used 2 for a Shelf 10'' wide and 36'' long, worked fine. very pleased with the brackets.

The bottom shelf is 24" wide at the flat part that attaches to the wall. The wall mounts are at 5" and 19" i.e. 1"---X-------------X----24" so if you only have 17" total to worth with, you won't be able to use this size of rack.

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.

The shelves are certainly sturdy enough for that duty. You need to measure your appliances and match them up with this unit. There are also other units that are different sizes. One of them will almost certainly fit.

It all depends. The shelves are fairly thick and I would say that you would be safe with 25-30 lbs evenly distributed across the whole shelf. It may hold more, but remember you are dealing with particle board material and it may sag eventually.

The distance to the side wall shouldn't make a difference. The brackets shouldn't be more than 24" apart, and I'm assuming your shelf doesn't exceed 36". If you have a 36" shelf, and you want the end of it next to the side wall, then you would put your brackets at the 6" and 30" spots away from the side wall to have 6" on either side of the brackets. HOpe that helps and makes sense.

I am using a 46 inch TV and I have about 6 inches between the bottom of the TV and the top shelf while I am using highest setting. I guess you could go higher but then you would only be using one bracket and it may not be stable. Anyone only using 1 bracket and going higher?

My 16 inch brackets(2) hold up a 90 lb, 5 foot long butcher block workbench. However, I do support the bench midway with a portable leg stand.

If you use the 4 pole/corner setup you should not have a problem as long as the heaviest items are on the lowest racks. Each shelf should hold over 5 pounds. I have put close to that amount before. However, most of the items that I bake are lite and airy.

Depends on the design of the shelf, and the load placed on the shelf. The vertical shear load of the brackets is good, but if you are putting a lot of weight on the shelf then no, because the lateral or horizontal load capacity of the brackets and even the screws bcomes suspect. Your shelves could pull out or at least start to sag pretty easily, maybe even under the weight of the shelving let alone the load on it. You're going to need some triangulated support out to the end of the shelving.

Both shelves will hold that same amount of weight. I have four baskets with silverware and other kitchen utencils. This product is very well made and sturdt.

I gave my shelf extra support using a wooden dowel from table top to under the shelf.If you are putting anything over about 4 lbs on it, I recommend doing this.

I just placed mine on a shelf. I took some of the brackets off in order to fit bigger pans though.
