Excellent braces/large brackets; they are nicely powder-coated, very large, and solid. I installed 3 braces (32" apart) with the help of 2x2 cleats (8ft) to support a platform made of four 2x4s (10ft). I made two shelves in my garage and they worked very nicely. Once screwed into the studs, they were solid! I ordered from Woodworker Express after checking Lowes/HD/Amazon. I'm very happy with my new garage shelves.
