I'm looking at these 7" X 9" L-brackets for shelves and was wondering what weight are they rated at supporting. They are made of steel and are called Stanley Utility Shelf bracket.

:D

If it's the gray sheet metal ones, they are made for pretty light duty use. A lot of a shelf bracket's capacity depends on how well it is anchored to the wall of course.
