12-Inch Foldable Brackets for DIY Folding Shelves or Tables, L Shelf Brackets Collapsible, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel, Max Load 300lbs, Silver, 4 Pcs

A few reviews led me to think these may be cheap and flimsy but they are GREAT! I added these brackets today along with a PT 2x10 to my deck railing for more usable space when needed. I've got a rather hefty 275lb dad bod and used a significant amount of my weight to test the brackets and they held just fine with no side to side sway and no bending in the 45* supports or respective rivets. I plan to use it mostly for holding some brewskies and a cutting board next to the grill / smoker this summer. I'm currently using them to hold our garden seedlings in the sun and out of the way during the day. I ended up using more heavy duty screws than provided and drilled some small pilot holes to prevent splitting. I'm buying another set of these right now to add on the inside railing for a flip up breakfast bar. Great bang for your buck right here.

We added a drop shelf in out tiny RV to add counter space and this worked perfectly!!

Holds up a 4’ by 30” by 1 1/2” butchers block with ease.

The media could not be loaded.  Pros, Cons, and my suggestion for when you run into a problem... (hopefully you find this helpful)Overview: This is a solid folding shelf bracket. I used two of these to custom build a folding desk-top in a bedroom nook we have under a window. Perfect space alternative solution for when the lady and I have conflicting Zoom meetings. If you're in the market specifically for a folding shelf bracket, I would pay attention to the release arm/trigger design. The closer to the end of your "top", the better. This specific bracket has it located at the end of the length of the arm, and it is low profile. Great feature. See attached video.Pros:*Solid device - reasonably thick metal that I don't expect will bend or warp.*Ease of function - lift your shelf/desk/counter/work top with one hand and it locks into position.*Space Saving - you probably already know this, or you wouldn't be looking for this product. We live in a small house, and we try to make everything we buy/own/build/use work double-duty to accomplish more than one function. This bracket only adds about an inch of depth when folded down.*Priced decently - You could easily utilize this shelf bracket as a normal shelf bracket, to add the flexibility of being able to fold your shelf.Cons:*The screws are bad. Poor quality that strip easily. Also, they are nowhere near the length necessary to screw into the wall side and get reasonably through a stud. Easy fix, head to the hardware store to grab extras (if you're doing any type of DIY, you should have a stash of good screws)*One of my brackets was slightly misshapen. So when I tried to fold down (close) the shelf, the bracket didn't fit into it's designed space to fold into. I solved this by taking a wrench and squeezing the two sides on one side of the bracket to reshape it slightly, and squeeze them together.*Directions - They leave a bit to be desired. Not the best.Recommended Problem Solutions:-Use a wrench to squeeze sides together if miss-shaped.-Buy longer and higher quality screws to ensure you reach studs.-You may want to consider adding a board, or plywood against the wall that spans the width of your space you're using, screwing that into the studs, and then screwing the brackets into the board. This is especially helpful if your studs are not where you want them. See Picture.Final verdict:4 Stars - I would buy again, and recommend to others.I would have rated 5 stars if:The screws were better, directions were better, the length of the bracket against the wall was longer, and if the bracket wasn't shaped slightly off.If this review was helpful, do you mind letting me know by clicking the *helpful* button below?That lets me know which reviews I write were valuable.

As you can see in the video it's lock into place from first time. Will be definitely buying more of the foldable brackets for my next project! Highly recommend!

I haven't installed them yet but they will work perfect for shelves in my trailer when traveling they are very well made product. I would recommend it. Very nice

used these brackets to add folding wings to a workshop cart.

The product works just as advertised, i built a bench , where on one side the table top lifts up, to work on, and lays flat against the bench, to make it easier to move the hole bench on casters, to another locationExcellent product!

Using at the end of an overland slide out system to hold a two burner stove. When I stow it, it will be in shelf mode (L shape). There is a tiny bit of play in the joints, So I may just strap it so it’s not jiggling around in there. Very strong construction, should be great for this project.
