These brackets are not level. We tried to hang open shelves above our countertop and it was very visibly leaning down and not level. We tried attaching them both ways and it looks bath both ways. Definitely not a good purchase, will be returning.

Great looking bracket that seems sturdy. I really appreciated the quality of the product as far as durability and design

We tried these brackets both ways for 24” L x 10” W shelf - the shelf leaned down and was visibly noticeable. The brackets are beautiful and heavy. I still like the brackets and planning to use in a different location where the leaning will be less noticeable.
