The Organized Living Ventilated Bracket is a fundamental part of Organized Living's freedomRail Ventilated Shelving system. The durable brackets securely lock into freedomRail Uprights (sold separately) to provide strong support for ventilated shelves (sold separately). Additionally, 12" and 16" Ventilated Brackets are designed to accept rod clips for a clothes rod. Once installed, shelves hold up to 500 pounds every 40 inches. The shelf simply attaches onto the bracket using slotted locks for a secure hold.
