Folding Shelf Brackets, Black or Steel Finish, Pair

Fold a shelf or work surface away when the room needs more space. These steel folding brackets fit a separately chosen board and come in size and finish options. For home improvers creating an occasional worktop, utility shelf or compact furniture project.

Make room when the surface is no longer needed

• ✅ Clear space after a task — Release the folding mechanism to lower a suitably fitted shelf or work surface.
• ✅ Set up a temporary work area — The hinged brackets open out to hold your chosen board in its working position.
• ✅ Match your project depth — Choose an 8, 10, 12 or 14-inch bracket option before selecting a board.
• ✅ Coordinate the fittings — Black and steel-finish options let you match the brackets to the surrounding furniture.

Choose the bracket size for your intended board and check the wall construction before fitting. A shelf board is not included, so you can select the surface that suits the space.

The folding mechanism needs room to move beneath the board. Keep that area accessible so you can operate the release without obstructions.

Allow room for the approximately 133 mm wall section on the steel-finish 12-inch option.

The steel-finish 14-inch option is an alternative finish; the package contains the selected pair, not every size.
