I bought a couple of ex MFI glass shelves off Ebay and got one ok but
awaiting a replacement for the other as it was in bits .
They are 800mm x 200mm x 6mm . I have bought 6 brackets which are
110mm deep similar to
http://www.sdslondon.co.uk/product/1...t_5_32_mm.html

but I'm not sure if I should use 3 per shelf or if 2 will do.

I've been Googling to see if I can find suggestions for how many
brackets are needed for certain lengths but so far haven't found
anyhting .
Any ideas ?

If supported at the ends, with a uniform load of 10 lbs per foot, the shelf
would only sag by 1.21mm.
