Ekena Millwork Andrea Wagon Wheel Bracket Rubberwood 15x7x7

Description

Product Overview

The Andrea Wagon Wheel Bracket is a precision‑carved wood corbel designed for both decorative appeal and structural support. Crafted from solid rubberwood, the bracket showcases a warm, natural grain that complements a wide range of interior design styles, from rustic farmhouse to contemporary minimalism. Its dimensions of 1.5 inches in width, 7 inches in depth, and 7 inches in height provide a compact yet robust profile that can be seamlessly integrated into countertops, bar tops, shelving units, kitchen islands, and mantels. The bracket is sanded smooth, ready for staining, painting, or clear‑coating, allowing installers and designers to finish it to match existing woodwork or to create a striking contrast. With a maximum load capacity of 250 pounds, it offers reliable support for heavy countertop extensions, decorative shelving, and other load‑bearing applications when properly anchored. The product is supplied as a single piece, identified by part number BKT01X07X07ADRW, and includes all necessary mounting hardware for straightforward installation.

Usage

This bracket excels in environments where both aesthetics and strength are required. In residential kitchens, it can reinforce a marble or granite countertop overhang, providing a clean, unobtrusive support that eliminates the need for visible metal brackets. For commercial settings such as cafés or boutique bars, the wagon‑wheel design adds a touch of vintage charm while safely bearing the weight of heavy glass tops or stone slabs. The bracket also serves as an elegant decorative element on open‑shelf displays, supporting books, decorative objects, or display lighting without compromising visual appeal. Its versatility extends to furniture projects, where it can be used to strengthen a reclaimed‑wood dining table or to accent a custom shelving unit in a home office. Because the wood is pre‑finished and ready for staining, contractors can match the bracket to existing cabinetry or create a contrasting accent piece that highlights the design intent. Proper installation involves securing the bracket to studs or using appropriate anchors, ensuring the 250‑lb capacity is fully utilized without overstressing the surrounding structure.

FAQ

What type of wood is used for this bracket?

The bracket is made from solid rubberwood, a hardwood harvested from plantation-grown trees. Rubberwood offers excellent stability, a fine grain, and a light‑to‑medium brown color that can be finished to match a variety of interior palettes.

Can the bracket be painted or stained?

Yes. The product arrives sanded and ready for finishing. You can apply a clear sealant, a wood stain, or a paint of your choice. We recommend testing the finish on a small area first to achieve the desired hue and sheen.

How do I install the bracket securely?

Installation requires anchoring the bracket to wall studs or using appropriate heavy‑duty anchors. Position the bracket so the load is evenly distributed, drill pilot holes, and use the supplied screws to secure it. For countertop applications, ensure the bracket is flush with the surface and that the countertop material is properly supported.

Is the bracket suitable for outdoor use?

While the rubberwood is treated for indoor durability, we do not recommend using the bracket in exposed outdoor environments where it may be subjected to moisture, UV radiation, or extreme temperature fluctuations.

What is the warranty on this product?

Ekena Millwork provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or alterations made after purchase.
