Engineered for strength and versatility, this ultra-thin floating shelf bracket delivers unmatched performance in a sleek, minimal profile. Designed to install directly into wall studs before drywall, its base sits completely behind the wall—making it 100% hidden once the shelf is installed. Despite its slim size, each bracket supports up to 50 lbs and can handle shelf depths up to 10" with confidence.
Unlike flimsy imported alternatives, this bracket strikes a rare balance: it's forward flange is small enough at only 3/8" to work with extremely thin floating shelves, yet strong enough to offer real support. Perfect for custom cabinetry, woodworking shops, or any clean, modern shelf builder.
At Federal Brace, Innovative Thinking is one of our core values—and in this case, it was inspired directly by our customers. Woodworking professionals needed a way to offer the thinnest floating shelves on the market without sacrificing strength, so we got to work and engineered the thin floating shelf bracket to meet that exact need.
Proudly made in the USA from American steel and finished with a durable black powder coat, this bracket also features a dual-function design. Use it in its hidden format for seamless floating shelves, or rotate it 90 degrees to become a low-profile visible bracket—ideal for after-drywall installs where a shelf plank simply rests on top.
