Depends what they're made of I would think. And they have the advantage
that they're supported along their length so long spans are possible
without visible sag. With the continuous support the bracket and shelf
only has to support the weight across the depth of the shelf not along its
length. Even a fairly lightweight shelf would support the weight of eg a
gramophone record on edge. It's the opposite of eg a cantilever bridge.

Yebbut, the leverage on the mounting screws is enormous compared with other
systems - A whole shelf of vinyl is going to need anchor bolts and a very
tough fitting along the wall.
