About Architectural Brackets

We carve these from seasoned solid hardwood, so they are sturdy, but keep in mind they are designed as architectural accents rather than heavy load-bearing supports for stone shelves. Each pair arrives with heavy-duty keyhole hooks at the back for flush wall mounting, but you will need to bolt them directly into the wall to ensure they remain secure.
