FAQs
In order to save some material, as long as the shelf and bracket are installed correctly, the bracket is strong enough to be using the 1:2 ratio (depending on final depth & weight load*).
Meaning that the brackets can be 1/2 the length of the shelf itself. But we always suggest to use 2 studs at a minimum.
No. 99% of the time, you will not be able to see underneath the shelf and the set screws. If that is still a concern, you can purchase a filler for the holes.
We generally recommend your shelf be at least 1.5" thick when using the Hovr Slim Bracket
This is because the bracket itself is 1 1/8" thick, so you will need at least 1/8" of additional material on the top and bottom of your shelf to house and conceal the bracket. Just remember to leave yourself that 1/4" of shelf thickness when selecting your material.
In general, it's best to leave at least 1/4" at the top and bottom of your shelf, since its far too easy to blow out 1/8" with the smallest movement. See below for a diagram of the recommended shelf thickness.

Customer Reviews
We used the “slim” line of Hovr brackets because I wanted a thinner, less bulky look in my small galley kitchen. They turned out beautiful!
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you love your new floating shelves and that our 'slim' Hovr brackets were the perfect fit for your small galley kitchen. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that they turned out beautifully. Happy organizing!
I recently did 5 floating shelves in my house with the Hovr Slim. From a performance standpoint, I found the product to be as advertised. If you're making a floating shelf from a piece of dimensional lumber (or other solid piece of wood), this is a good way to go.
That said, be aware that from an installation standpoint, there can be challenges to success with this product. The Hovr system has a male part that fastens to the wall and a female part that fastens to the shelf. If the male part is not perfectly flat on the wall surface, you might (and probably will) have trouble getting the shelf to "snap in"...that is when you know the male and female parts have joined together properly...and you must have that "snap" for a successful installation. Inconsistencies in the wall surface can make this difficult, but not impossible. You just need to be able to react to them. Furthermore, if you don't have at least basic woodworking capabilities and a router, you should probably let someone else install this for you...or choose a different method for hanging your 1-1/2" thick floating shelf. In summary, if you want to install this product yourself, you should 1) be capable enough to successfully react to imperfect walls, and 2) have the tools and knowhow to precisely channel your shelf lumber so that the female part can be fastened properly. To be fair to the manufacturer, their instructions do address the cautions I've expressed in this review, at least to some degree. You would do well to heed them.
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your well thought out and respectful review, appreciate your honest feedback here. We try to arm our customers with as much info as we can, as you noted, and you are correct in that there are certain factors that must be respected in an install. Appreciate your genuine thoughts and feedback here, thank you for using our hardware and sharing your experience!
I bought both the original and slim versions. The original could be improved by having installation holes pre drilled on the wall portion of the bracket. Unnecessary to have the customer drill the holes.
The included hardware with both the kits is garbage. Experienced stripped heads and snapped screws. Switched to the “cheap” screws of same spec from my stock and no issues. If hovr doesn’t want to have install hardware that matches the bracket quality don’t bother including it.
Brackets to work well and fit nicely.
Hi Byron,
Thanks for sharing your feedback here - this snapping screw experience is a new one but I'll be looking into it, appreciate you sharing your experience.
We moved away from pre-drilled holes because sometimes customers needed them in a different place and to drill their own. Some studs are different than others in certain homes.
Relatively easy to install. Very precise. Fits perfect if you follow the instructions and be exact on your measurements. It’s an amazing mount for floating shelves.
Definitely would buy again for another project.
