Reviews Summary
Customers say these floating mantel brackets are incredibly sturdy and well-built, easily supporting heavy wooden mantels ranging from 100-200+ pounds. Users appreciate the robust construction and precise engineering that makes installation straightforward. Many mention successfully mounting solid wood beams, barn wood, railroad ties, and live-edge slabs. The brackets work perfectly for heavy-duty applications, with several customers noting they've used multiple brackets over time. Common feedback includes praise for the strong welds and accurate dimensions. Some users mention needing to drill slightly larger holes for easier installation, and a few suggest including drilling templates would be helpful.

    AMAZING!

    Love my new mantel, made possible with my bracket from Shelfology. The beam was over 200 pounds, and I was really worried about the bracket holding up and being secure. Now that it is up, I have absolutely no worries. It is so strong!

    Big, Beefy, and perfect for large mantel beams

    I have used several of the Glenn HD brackets in the past. All of them were used for 8x8 solid wood mantels, which are heavy. They have all held up perfectly over the years. The only concern that I have is that my last install was a mantel over an outdoor fireplace.

    Hey Brad! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Our brackets are coated with a primer that as long as the bracket is sealed up and not subject to the elements directly will hold up for years and years to come. - Your Friendly Shelfologist

    Fireplace Mantle

    The Glenn Floating Mantel Bracket is a great product. Easy to use and very solid.

    My hand hewn barn beam mantel came in at 82 pounds and this bracket easily holds it. The only suggestion I have would be to include a template for drilling and routing out the beam. Other than that, this is a great product!

    Better Than Advertised

    I obtained a rough-sawn beam of Douglas Fir to use as the mantel for a re-facing of my existing fireplace (i.e. transition from a '90s drywall around the fireplace insert to a slate tile). Bracket worked great! I'd be glad to send photos as I don't do social media.
