CounterBalance Workstation Bracket, 5 x 8, Black, Import

Description

The 5 x 8 workstation bracket from CounterBalance gives compact floating surfaces a low-profile steel support. This black imported model fits narrow shelves, ledges, small counters, equipment platforms, and other wall-mounted surfaces where a full-depth bracket would be excessive.

5 x 8 Workstation Bracket Uses

Its short legs suit shallow projections and tight layouts in cabinetry, workshops, retail fixtures, utility areas, and office installations. The open triangular form preserves usable space below the surface, while the textured black finish coordinates with dark hardware and contemporary interiors.

Construction and Installation

• 5 x 8 inch nominal bracket size
• CounterBalance workstation bracket family
• Imported steel construction
• Black textured finish
• Reversible orientation for flexible placement
• Multiple mounting points along the bracket legs
• Compact profile for shelving and narrow work surfaces

Attach the vertical leg to load-bearing studs or properly designed blocking. Select fasteners for the framing material, wall finish, expected load, and available embedment. Keep the upper leg firmly against the underside of the supported surface so weight transfers through the bracket instead of pulling at the connection. Capacity depends on bracket spacing, wall structure, fastener selection, surface stiffness, and installation quality.

Layout Considerations

Measure the finished projection and verify that the bracket stays behind the front edge. Mark every support location before drilling, check the line with a level, and confirm that each vertical mounting path reaches solid framing. When several brackets share one shelf or counter, consistent spacing helps distribute weight and keeps the installation visually balanced.

Browse the full range of countertop brackets for deeper overhangs, alternate finishes, and concealed support styles. The Chemical Concepts fabrication and installation video library offers additional layout ideas for supported surfaces.

This compact format also works well where plumbing, drawers, or equipment leave limited clearance below the supported surface.
