Floating Desk Bracket from Federal Brace provides a low-profile support for a floating desk, cantilevered shelf, or wall hung counter, so the work surface stays visually clean while being structurally backed by a steel arm fixed to framing. The 18.75 inch length, 3 inch width, and 5 inch vertical leg give a compact bracket footprint that still reaches well under the surface, helping distribute weight into the wall and worktop. Installation on the face of the stud ties the bracket directly to framing, which channels the load into structural members instead of relying on wall finish. A black finish keeps the bracket visually quiet under darker tops or in shadow lines. This floating desk bracket is part of the Federal Brace workstation and countertop bracket line, aligning it with applications where desks and counters see repeated daily loading.
This floating desk support bracket is installed on the face of the stud, so the vertical leg bears directly against framing lumber instead of wall cladding. That mounting geometry lets the 0.25 inch steel vertical leg act as a direct transfer point for loads from the horizontal arm into the structure. Six 0.26 inch straight holes along the supporting arm allow fasteners to clamp the desk, shelf, or counter material down to the bracket, which helps resist uplift or shifting from day-to-day use. The bracket is identified as a workstation and countertop bracket, so the mounting approach is matched to applications where people lean, write, or work on the surface. A recommended fastener kit number 39972 is specified, tying the bracket design to fasteners sized for the hole pattern and typical desk or counter substrates.
The Federal Brace floating desk bracket is described for cantilevered shelves, desks, and wall hung counters, so it suits work areas and counters that need open space below while still carrying significant load. Installing the bracket on the face of the stud places the vertical leg directly against framing, which is valuable in office, home, or shop walls where the stud bay defines structural support. The 18.75 inch supporting arm length gives reach well into typical desk depths, so the bracket can sit back from the front edge while still catching a large portion of the worktop. A 3 inch width on the arm provides a broad bearing surface under the desk material, which helps spread compression forces and reduces concentrated pressure along the fastener line. The 5 inch vertical leg height permits the bracket to land solidly on the stud face while staying within a compact wall profile, which is helpful around other wall elements.
The bracket is made from 0.25 inch thick steel and specified with a 500 pound carry capacity per bracket, directly connecting material section to a defined static load rating. That capacity lets installers plan desk or counter layouts by counting brackets and spacing them according to the weight demands of the application. Six 0.26 inch straight holes in the supporting arm give multiple fastening locations into the underside of the desk or shelf, which distributes pull-out forces across several fasteners instead of concentrating them in a single point. The matte black powder coated finish covers the steel, which protects the bracket surface as it sits against the wall and under the top during long-term use. Being part of a workstation and countertop bracket class ties the geometry and thickness to environments where surfaces regularly support equipment, documents, or other work materials. The black color also blends into shadow lines under many tops, helping the bracket carry its load without drawing visual attention.
The Floating Desk Bracket measures 18.75 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 5 inches in vertical height, which defines how far it projects under the surface and how it sits on the stud face.
Mounting on the face of the stud places the bracket directly against structural framing, which channels desk or counter loads into the stud rather than depending on wall finish layers.
Each floating desk bracket has a carry capacity of 500 pounds, so every bracket contributes a defined amount of support to the overall desk, shelf, or counter installation.
The bracket uses 0.25 inch thick steel to form a sturdy cantilever arm and vertical leg, which supports the stated 500 pound capacity and resists flexing under typical workstation loads.
The six 0.26 inch straight holes along the supporting arm provide multiple fastening points into the underside of the desk or shelf, which helps secure the surface and spread the load.
This Federal Brace floating desk bracket has a matte black powder coated finish, which keeps its appearance subdued under the surface while covering the 0.25 inch steel structure.
The 5 inch x 18-3/4 inch Floating Desk Bracket in black from Federal Brace combines 0.25 inch steel construction, a 500 pound carry capacity, and six 0.26 inch arm holes into a focused solution for floating desks, shelves, or wall hung counters. The face-of-stud mounting and matte black finish support both structural and visual goals in workstation and countertop builds. For projects that need a low-profile steel bracket tied directly to framing, this floating desk bracket aligns the dimensions, capacity, and hole layout with practical job demands.
