All kinds of floating things (besides shelves!) are supported by our Free Hanging Shelf Bracket: floating bathroom vanities, floating furniture, floating cabinets, and yes, even floating mantels and hearths. This bracket is the perfect concealed support bracket to safely and beautifully support all these items.

The Free Hanging Shelf Bracket is made to mount directly to the 24” x 4” wood studs inside your wall before the sheetrock goes up. While we offer both left and right angle brackets (determined by which side of the wall stud you are placing the bracket on), we now have universal angle brackets which can be installed on either side of the wall stud, eliminating having to decide on a left or right angle.

Here’s an easy, step-by-step installation video for installing the Free Hanging Shelf Brackets into wood studs.

You can also install the Free Hanging Shelf Bracket to metal studs. Watch this step-by-step video to see how.

In the spirit of the Christmas season, we thought we would share some gorgeous floating mantels that are perfectly decorated for the holidays.

 "Rustic elegance" is the phrase that describes this natural hand hewn mantel decorated with nature's bounty and a touch of glitz.
