The mounting plate the rods are welded to that the screws go

silly...

I thought the whole idea was it was invisible. Jut a rod
terminating
in
a single screw, all inline. If there's a plate, surely that's
visible?

Not if you make the shelf thicker than the plate is tall it
isn't,
no.

Surely the shelf can only be an inch or so thick or it'd look
ridiculous. That's not enough to give leverage to a bracket.

If you would go look at the LV link a zillion folks have pointed
you
to,
you would realize that's exactly what it is sized for.

And, it's sufficient leverage for 100-lb distributed load on a
5-1/2"
wide shelf with two arms.

This has gone beyond ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is you not realising that a 12 inch shelf pulling
against a 1 inch bracket is a LOT of leverage.

Still allows 100lb on that shelf fine.

I doubt it.

Doesn't matter what you doubt, it does anyway.

And trivial to test.

You do understand levers right?

Yep, unlike you who can't even manage to work out that the force
on the screws is pulling them out of the wall with that bracket.

With a huge force due to the amplification from the leverage.

Clearly works fine when the spec shows it will hold 100lb on the shelf.

I wouldn't believe claims like that if I were you.

Trivial to test the claim and see that its accurate.

I have some batteries here that claim 2500mAh, they actually hold 400.

Irrelevant to something entirely mechanical and like a shelf bracket.

Those shelves are just like crowbars pulling nails out of a wall.

And work fine anyway, because even you should have noticed
that the shelf isnt anything like as deep as the crowbar is long.

You can get short crowbars.

And you will find that they don't work very well, for a reason.

The bracket has to be about the same height as the depth of the
shelf.

Obviously it doesn't and looks much better done that way.

If you want your house to look like MacOS.

I prefer that there isnt some ugly bracket visible.

Then get a nice looking bracket.

No thanks, I'll use one that is completely invisible.

Are you a woman? A shelf serves a purpose, it's not to look pretty.

No reason why it can look better and serve its purpose too.

All of my roof gutter downpipes are completely invisible.
Looks much better than the stupid abortion with them
on the wall.
