FAQs

What is the size of the bracket?

Each bracket measures 120mm in height, 120mm in width, and 20mm in depth.

Can these brackets support heavy items?

Yes, their cast iron construction makes them quite strong; however, the weight capacity largely depends on the strength of the wall and the fixings used.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

These brackets are designed for interior use. If used outdoors, the finish may eventually weather or rust due to environmental exposure.

What kind of shelf boards work best?

Wooden shelves are recommended to complement the rustic aesthetic and provide the best grip against the metal bracket surface.

Do they come with screws?

Please check your specific package contents, but generally, it is recommended to purchase wall-specific screws and anchors separately to match your wall type.

Troubleshooting

Bracket feels wobbly after installation

Check that the wall screws are fully tightened and ensure that the anchors used are appropriate for your specific wall material.

Visible surface dust or debris

Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe down the openwork patterns, as dirt can collect in the intricate iron details over time.

Shelf seems uneven

Use a spirit level on top of the installed brackets before mounting the wooden board to ensure perfect horizontal alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sturdy and reliable weight-bearing capacity
  • Adds instant character and decorative appeal
  • Versatile design fits many room types
  • Easy to maintain with simple cleaning

Cons

  • Requires sturdy wall materials for safe mounting
  • Limited to one color option
  • Mounting hardware not always specified for all wall types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a drill and suitable wall fixings based on your wall type (masonry, drywall, or timber). Ensure you use a spirit level to align the brackets correctly before securing them to the wall. For care, simply wipe the brackets down with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning chemicals, as these may damage the rustic brown finish. Periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight, especially if the shelf is used to support heavy or frequently accessed items.
