Resurrecting an old thread... I am working on another room for TV display and I thought I'd ask around here if anyone has done what I'm thinking. I would like to build floating wall shelves for my tabletop TVs along a long wall. The shelves will have to be stupendously heavy duty, but I think I can figure something out. Putting the sets on floating shelves will allow me to stagger them. Right now they are just a horizontal line of televisions which isn't very visually interesting. Does anyone else have anything like this in their display space? The one photo that I LOVE! is the one below that some one posted on ARF. I want to create something similar

I've done shelves with 90 degree support brackets below before (not sure how the ones in the picture stay up without them ). I've got one in my A/V closet supporting MUCH more gear than I can lift at once. and I've got a test equipment shelf mounted to the wall over my work bench that gets a LOT of heavy stuff placed on it.

Back when I was into radios only I had some real nice looking brackets, and shelf wood ready for such a project, but never got to it...

Brackets or however they did it in that picture you will have three fundamental issues with putting TV on shelves like that: Finding shelf wood that deep/sturdy, the leverage factor of the depth adding extra strain to the hardware, and finding 90 degree brackets deep enough to do the job.

If I ever go with wall shelves it will only be for radios and my smaller(shalllow 50's-70's sets)/lighter TVs....As it stands the radios I'd put on the wall would free up a good floor standing shelf I could use for TVs.
