Abstract: A closet shelf bracket pair formed of sheet metal having a flat main body with channels and supports defined in the main body by tabs bent from the main body for the purpose of guiding and supporting a load bearing member and a shelf board. Also, the main body of the shelf bracket pair provides a means for attachment of the shelf bracket pair to the interior opposing side walls of a closet and aligning the mounting hardware used for attachment with an interior wall stud.
