When we purchased our home last year, we started out using one of our three bedrooms as a home office. Our plans were to eventually convert the unused formal living space in the front of the house to a home office down the road, as we have a bigger family room in the back of the house that we use as our primary living space. When we found out we were going to have a baby, I figured this would be a good time to tackle this project.

These brackets are designed to support shelves while being hidden from view once installed. 🪓Quality control: Prior to packaging and shipping, each shelf undergoes a quality control check to ensure it meets the manufacturer's standards.
