The mounting bracket is coupled directly to a support surface such as a wall and the shelf is mounted to the support surface to hang the shelf from the support surface. The mounting bracket includes a first portion that is coupled to the wall, a second portion having an S-shape that extends from a first end of the first portion, and a third portion having a linear shape that extends from a second end of the first portion. The shelf includes a ledge portion upon which items may be supported and a mounting portion that facilitates mounting the shelf to the mounting bracket. The mounting portion has a mounting element that interacts with the second portion of the mounting bracket to mount the shelf to the mounting bracket.
