(You can see the video for how to install these
Directions:
Cut your shelf boards to fit between the walls so that there is a slight gap on each side (the gap is just so you’re not scratching your drywall as you’re putting them in, you don’t want it to be a super tight fit).
Determine if there is a stud which can be used to attach the corner braces to.
Determine the height of the shelves and draw a light level line where the bottom of the shelf will go.
Keeping the bottom of the brace that sticks out from the wall even with the level line and lined up with the stud, or where you want the corner brace to be if using drywall anchors, mark the location of the hole on the wall, install the drywall anchors at these points.
Attach the corner braces to the wall screwing them into a stud or using drywall anchors.
Set the shelf on top of the braces and mark out where they are on the bottom of the shelf.
Transfer these marks to the edge the shelf. Use a forstner bit to remove material from the side of the shelf so that the corner braces will be able to slide up in, keep the top edge of the bit below the top of the shelf so that it will not be seen from above. (This part is easiest to figure out by watching the
Sand shelf and set on braces.
A fun little before & after of this spot – ha! Just a little bit different!
