How to Install Rustic Wooden Wall Shelves with Steel Brackets

Follow this simple step-by-step guide to securely install your MKGT solid wood wall shelves with black steel brackets.

What You'll Need

  • Drill
  • Screwdriver or impact driver
  • Spirit level
  • Pencil
  • Tape measure
  • Suitable wall fixings

Step-by-Step Installation

1 Choose the Shelf Position

Decide where you would like your shelf to sit and mark the desired height on the wall.

2 Position the Brackets

Place the steel brackets against the wall and use a spirit level to make sure they are straight and evenly positioned.

3 Mark the Fixing Points

Use a pencil to mark the screw holes through each bracket before drilling.

4 Drill the Wall

Drill the marked fixing points and insert suitable wall plugs where required.

5 Secure the Brackets

Fix each bracket securely to the wall and check the alignment again with a spirit level.

6 Position the Wooden Shelf

Place the solid wood shelf onto the brackets and centre it in the required position.

7 Secure the Shelf

Drive the screws through the brackets into the underside of the shelf and tighten until the shelf is firmly secured.

Installing the 2 Shelf Set

Repeat the same process for the second shelf. Before drilling, check the spacing and make sure both shelves are level and aligned.

Important Safety Information

Always use fixings suitable for your wall type. Check for hidden electrical cables and pipes before drilling. If you are unsure about your wall construction or which fixings to use, consult a qualified installer.
