Question about shelf bracket capacity [View all]

I have three shelf brackets under a shelf - two large ones at the end and one medium on in the middle. The large brackets support up to 100 lbs evenly distributed per pair. The medium ones support 50 lbs per single piece and 100 lbs per pair when properly installed. All are screwed into studs. The shelf is about 30". My question is - will the shelf support 100 lbs on each 1/2 or less than that?

Sounds like you shouldn't exceed 150lbs evenly distributed. RockRaven Oct 2023 #2
