The Ranch House Iron shelf bracket is a true penchant of the farmhouse aesthetic. Simulating a decorative pointed stake, this bracket takes inspiration from elements and motifs found in old Americana farmhouses and Old West ranches. Its rugged cast iron construction pairs beautifully with rustic, industrial, vintage, country, and southwestern decor as well. Since these brackets are available in some of the most popular hardware finishes, they are a great way to elevate your storage - literally! The Ranch House bracket measures 8.7" x 7.2" and can be installed in either direction underneath glass shelf tops or wood shelf boards. They are perfect for holding skin care products and towels in the bathroom, storing dishes and cookware in the kitchen, putting mugs and coffee fixings over a home coffee bar, keeping cocktail supplies and wine bottles above a home bar area, and so much more. We have even had some customers use these brackets as corbels for decorative support under countertops, cabinets, and mantels for a subtle rustic charm. The Ranch House brackets are best mounted into wall studs or support beams, and once installed, the matching flathead screws sit flush in the counter-sunk screw holes.
