retroman 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 Hi,I want to do wall shelf for my living room and study. It seems to be an easy job. I like the idea of floating wall shelf (“invisible bracket” or at least the bracket is not easily noticed). Went to ikea, Lack shelf is great but not as hard as it is paper-stuff in side the shelf. Tend to descend after a while if used on heavy objects. http://www.ikea.com/sg/en/catalog/products/20186182/Marginal wall shelf is next best but the price quite steep at $69 each. http://www.ikea.com/sg/en/catalog/products/90176504/Moreover, I already have some nice wood shelf pieces left from the past, if I get Marginal, to me it will be $69 just for 2 brackets. Can someone help me, where can I get those “invisible” bracket to fix my “floating” wall shelf. Appreciate your inputs. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are stronger and lasting.If you have the budget go for the elfa system also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
venom 1 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 the ones u shown from IKEA are made of compressed woods.Although cheap but not durable in long run.Not ideal for heavy duty use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want the bracket to be "invisbible" just the shelf on the wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
