Perfect brackets, great customer service
Mr. Csonka responded promptly when I had a question before placing my order.  Went above and beyond to help me. I am very happy with the brackets and how my project turned out.  Some reviewers suggest spray painting the brackets-- I did not feel that was needed.  I used #12 thickness screws and they fit perfectly inside the pre-drilled holes in the metal brackets.  Used 2.5&#34; long screws to attach each bracket to a stud.  I pre-drilled the holes first to prevent the studs from splitting.  Used slightly thinner #10, 3/4 inch long screws to attach the wooden boards.  My boards were 11.25&#34; x 0.75&#34; x 48&#34; (at the hardware store they were labeled as 12&#34; x 1&#34; x 4 ft which is a common size).  I aged them with coffee as a stain and added a couple of layers of polyurethane.  The 8&#34; x 8&#34; brackets (8.25&#34; actual length) seem just right for these 11.25&#34; deep shelves.  Planned to paint the screws black, but decided to leave them as they are as I really like the look.  Do not hesitate to get these brackets and support this wonderful small business in Washington state!
