shelf bracket

Angled metal support

A shelf bracket is an L-shaped support that attaches to a wall and holds up a shelf.

The vertical arm mounts to the wall while the horizontal arm bears the shelf's weight.

Brackets come in various materials—metal, wood, decorative iron—and styles ranging from utilitarian to ornamental: We installed matching brass shelf brackets in the study.
