I hate them. So often they are not tight and slide out leaving stickyout
rods that are invisible until you bump into one :-)

I've put up my own shelves with proper brackets. But I see these
"floating shelves" advertised. I thought, "What's holding them up?"

There is usually rods that go into the wall. Can be a bit fiddly to
get them in the right place so they slide into the shelf properly.
Apparently there's no right angle involved, just a screw going straight
into the back of the shelf out of the wall. How can that possibly
support anything?

It's a decent sized pair of rods that stick out of the wall
that slide into holes in the shelves with most of them.
