Could you hang a heavy piece of wood shelving with these? The shelf measures 34" long, 2" thick, and 12" deep. Would it pull out of the studs?

I've hung two Ikea floating bed side tables with single drawers with one of these cleats on both sides of my bed. The instructions said holds up to 200 lbs each, and I've had no problem. Both have large table lamps on them, one also has a clock radio and cordless telephone, as well as a full drawer of "stuff", the table is solid, and perfectly level.

We have 2 across top and bottom and hung a heavy buffet top. It is FULL of glass things, including the shelves. Weighs 150+ pounds.

Hi, I have not tried to hang a shelf but I have hung small cabinets with a cleat. I have a cabinet hanging on a cleat in my home. It has been hanging without problems for a couple of years now. The cabinet is about 20 inches wide, 30 inches high, and about a foot deep. The cleat is 18 inches wide and has about 6 anchor screws evenly spaced sunk into the wall. The difference with a shelf is that a shelf does not have sides and so the tendency to slant forward is very high and would happen with just a cleat and a board. If I were to do a shelf, I would put wood brackets on the sides so when the shelf is on the wall, it won't slant forward because those wood brackets will prevent that. I think doing it this way you can use the cleat but otherwise I wouldn't do it. Even using the side brackets the shelf with a cleat will stick out some from the wall, just a bit, because of the cleat thickness. That means you'd have to adjust the brackets somehow to level the shelf so it hangs properly. I hope this all makes sense to you. Good luck.

Yes, I bought this a few months back to install a homemade headboard that is about 7 feet wide and 3 feet high. It never let go yet and it is very solid!

It will be fine. I hung a very heavy queen sized headboard from mine with no problems.

I build a shelf 12 deep 24 inches long and 2 thick. I build three one holding a bunch of liquor, there other holding a receiver, and the other holding a playstation three. Yours s wider than mine but i'd imagine you would be fine since the depth is the same. you might want o use two but that's just my suggestion

Hi Katherine. I don't know for sure whether hanging a shelf with this type of support would work very well. The reason I say this is because the shelf, especially with items placed on it, would probably tend to pill the studs out of the wall. I think the bracket would be sufficient to hold the weight in regard to a straight downward load, but the problem with the load of the shelf and its contents is that it is cantilevered from the bracket and therefore produces an additional outward load, not just a downward load. I am not a design engineer, so I'm just guessing about it, but I am pretty confident about it. Hi Katherine.

I would say yes. There is 2 bolts in each of 2 brackets, that are bolted to the vertical frame, if those are removed the shelf will be removed.

I don't own this piece yet but I'm looking to use it for the same purpose. If you zoom in on the photo, there appears to be screws in the sides to hold up the shelves if you lay this length ways so I would assume so.

No. Although sturdy, these units simply snap together, and there would be some flex, so the likelihood of things falling off the shelf is about 95%.

My shelf is approximately 1 inch thick and I don't think it could accommodate any thicker than maybe 1.5 inches. Hope this is helpful.

We have the 3' wide shelves in laundry room and stacked 4 of them. Very secure and holds quite a bit of weight. I would recommend these shelves. Nice quality and not flimsy.

My shelving unit is 18 inches and as these are measured for 18 inches apart, I would say no. But there are individual snap on hooks you may be able to use.

The answer is, "Yes, sort of." I have used these rails to make a pullout shelf attached to a flat shelf. To make it work, I attached the outside rails to a pair of 1x2s. I then attached the 1x2s to a couple of strips of 1x2 plywood, then attached the plywood to the shelf. Basically, I made a simple enclosure for the rails. In the end, it worked perfectly.

You should be able to, providing you are no closer than 1.5" from the corner. That will give you enough space to fasten the lag bolts into the stud and leave enough space to attach the shelf to the bracket

I dont think so. The pocket shelves are shallow. The hooks for hanging are very small and the space between the hook s and the little shelves is only about 12 inches.

I think they are really good shelfs but, I wouldn't load them that heavy for several reasons. I would never load anything at the maximum load. It is just asking for trouble. I always like to give myself a little safety factor in case somethind strange occurs. It very well may hold 350 lbs per shelf but why press your luck. If you want a shelf to hold that much you should buy a commercial shelving unit.

Yes. The predrilled holes are spaced 16" apart. Try and have 1 side hit the studs and then use wall anchors to support the other side. The weight of the units on the shelves will be supported mostly by the brackets that are on the studs. The packaged bolts are huge and long. Power them in the stud.

Unfortunately, no. The wire shelving wouldn't be able to support the weight of the dividers. Plus, the dividers wouldn't fit at all if your wire shelving has a "lip" hanging on the bottom.

Shelves are actually a little higher than 12" but have a front molding that overlaps about 1/8". You could put them in on an angle though. Depth of each shelf is about 11" so if your books are no wider you shouldn't have a problem.

I believe so - but I stress this is my best guess and there may be a complication I am not seeing. Looking at my install, which is very near the corner, it appears the shelf would need to be wired to the bracket, but there is enough over hang to do so. The shelf would of course be sitting off center on the two brackets to accomplish this.

We havent loaded the shelves up yet, but they seem pretty thick and sturdy. Probably about 1 - 1.5 inches and seem sturdy, I doubt they would bend.It seems nicely made.

They're really pretty sturdy, I don't think the weight would be an issue. You can check the dimensions of the shelves under product details to see if those will fit.
