Laser-cut centering notch
A notch lasered into the back plate lines the bracket up dead-center on your mark — alignment without the guesswork.
The invisible bracket behind the internet’s most beautiful floating shelves — a solid steel back plate and 3/4″ steel support rods, made in-house from American steel. Just drill, recess, and slide the shelf on.
Every Walnut Wood Works bracket mounts flush into the studs and hides entirely inside the shelf — so all anyone sees is solid wood, seemingly floating on the wall. No corbels, no L-brackets, no visible hardware.
The same hardware behind thousands of kitchens, mantels, and entryways across the country.
A notch lasered into the back plate lines the bracket up dead-center on your mark — alignment without the guesswork.
The support rods are beveled at the tips so the shelf slides on smooth and easy — no fighting to start the holes.
Elongated mounting slots give you side-to-side adjustment — slide the bracket exactly where you want it as you fasten it down.
Every joint is robotically TIG-welded and left in full view — no grinding to hide sloppy work. Our welds are the feature, not the flaw.
Drill holes into the back of your shelf for the steel rods to slide into — the DIY Drill Guide Kit keeps every hole perfectly aligned.

Rout a slot in the back of the shelf so the backplate recesses in flush — that’s what makes the bracket completely invisible.

Slide the shelf onto the rods, snug against the wall. No visible hardware — just a clean, floating look.
Works great. Very strong steel and supports lots of weight.
Worked perfectly for our mantle. Easy to mount and easy to insert.
Highly recommend for any floating shelf. You won't believe how well made it is.
Great value and super build quality.
