CounterBalance Workstation Bracket, 5×8 Primed

Description

The 5×8 workstation bracket is the smallest size in the CounterBalance Workstation Bracket line, built to support a 5 by 8 inch shelf, small countertop return, or accessory overhang without a leg underneath. It ships primed and ready to paint, bolting to a load-bearing wall stud to carry the work surface from below.

Where the 5×8 Workstation Bracket Is Used

This compact size fits small shelf returns, narrow countertop overhangs, and accessory mounting points where a full-size bracket would be oversized for the load. Because it ships primed rather than factory-finished, painters and finish carpenters can match the bracket color to trim, cabinetry, or wall paint before or after install. The primed surface is a manufacturer undercoat rather than a finish coat, so it should be topcoated with a suitable paint before the bracket goes into a visible location.

How the 5×8 Workstation Bracket Holds Up

Each bracket mounts to load-bearing studs and is rated to support an overhang extending up to 6 inches beyond its own length, the same engineering standard used across the CounterBalance line. This import-sourced version keeps the per-unit cost down for small jobs, and the same 5×8 size is also available in other CounterBalance finish options when a factory color match matters more than price.

Specifications

The full CounterBalance Workstation Bracket size range is available in the countertop bracket category, and the Industrial Fasteners Institute’s reference on anchor and mounting hardware covers general load-bearing mounting practice.
