The stainless steel bracketed shelf featured in Cindy Black’s article, before installation.
I've installed plenty of shelves like the examples in the slideshow. However, I'm not the biggest fan of the shelf above with the bracket all along the edge. I prefer the shelf to be completely exposed with a bracket behind it.
I like to use floating shelf brackets from Right On Bracket. A few other companies sell something similar as well. They're universal for any shelf and I use them on a variety of projects. I highly recommend them.
Homebuilder32 - I have been looking for a good option to install floating shelves for my daughter in her newly-purchased townhome. This seems like the best solution and mom will be the heroine! Thanks. C_of_Ffx
