Shelving brackets are almost never good. The ones we're used to are generally found in garages and utility rooms. However, sometimes we come across a system that catches our notice, like the Epomeo Shelf from Doug Mockett & Company.
Epomeo Shelf by Mockett
This shelf was made in direct response to the lack of good shelving systems out there. It is made from a single piece of extruded aluminum and its mounting system is completely concealed. Available in five lengths from about 39" to 118".
Take note, though: this definitely isn't meant for book storage. The maximum capacity is 50 pounds.

These things are expensive! $162.00 for a 39" long shelf that only holds 35 pounds is ridiculous. The comparably sized veneer/laminate Ikea "Lack" shelf is $15.00 and holds considerably more weight. The industrial look can be nice, but I thought the main reason for going industrial was cheap resources?
The fact that it has a "serrated" edge freaks me out a bit. Especially since I'm always running into my shelves.
I thought I was the only one thiking the same things!!
Ikea used to make one just like this one (maybe they still do). They were $12. each, which is about the most I would pay for something like this. $162. is either a laugh or an insult.
