I'd like to find these idiots that make plastic supporting brackets.
Plastic is not a durable material, and either fails from weight, or
from decay, and that wont be long. Get some steel brackets and you
wont have to mess with it again. Society is going backwards. They
used to make durable materials. Now everything is junk plastic crap.

Plastic decays? Does Greenpeace know of this?

I have some shelves with plastic supports for 20 years that are still
perfect. You'd be amazed at the properties of some plastics. And they
don't rust or corrode.

Plastic lasts a really long time, but I've run into a lot of plastic
that gets brittle over time (10 or more years).

For shelf brackets, I'd prefer steel.

Every so often a plastic candy wrapper or toy will get into my
compost heap. It's always interesting seeing the wrapper or toy
turn up a few years later still shiny and looking new. Everything
else has turned to dirt but the plastic is in there for the long
haul.
