Low-Profile Floating Shelf Bracket

Made with American steel, the Thin Floating Shelf Bracket from Federal Brace has a minimal profile. When you attach the brackets directly to wall studs before installing drywall, their bases are completely hidden, making the shelf appear to float. Though the bases are visible if you attach them to studs through drywall, the slim profile remains unobtrusive. Brackets support up to 50 pounds and hold shelves up to 10 inches deep. Brackets cost $25 each. federalbrace.com
