I have installed custom cabinets for the last 25 years. In the last 10 to 15 years I have installed many Floating Vanities and Floating Shelves. In an attempt to attach these Floating cabinets & Shelves as securely as possible, I have tried several different ideas. I have tried  Metal Brackets that surface mount to the sheetrock wall. I have even cut the sheetrock out and installed long metal bars with metal rods welded to them, directly to the studs. Nothing has worked. Anything I have “surface mounted” has always had deflection at the front of the shelf. And any exposed front corner of a Floating Vanity has always sagged. I even tried “Flag” shaped metal brackets. These hold the weight just fine, but require a large hole in the wall, big enough for the bracket and my screw gun to attach to the side of the stud. This meant I had to pay someone to fix the hole in the wall, and repaint.

   Then I started using Stronghold Brackets. These hold the weight just fine, and do not require any wall repair or paint. The install takes only minutes, and doesn’t require any special tools.

  I am sold!! And will use these for all of my future projects.
