Wall shelf bracket systems and methods

A shelf system comprising:

• a first bracket and a second bracket, each of the first bracket and the second bracket comprising:
• a main frame configured to be secured to a surface and positioned generally parallel to the surface;
• a first support member coupled to a first end of the main frame, the first support member extending generally perpendicular to the main frame;
• and
• a second support member coupled at a first end at or near a second end of the main frame and coupled at a second end to the first support member;
• wherein when secured to the surface the first bracket and the second bracket are spaced a predetermined distance apart;
• a first shelf configured to be disposed at least partially on the first support member of the first bracket and at least partially on the first support member of the second bracket;
• and
• a second shelf configured to be removably coupled to the main frame.

A method of assembling a shelf system comprising:

• securing a first main frame to a surface, the first main frame comprising a first support member extending generally perpendicular to the first main frame and a second support member extending at a first end from the first main frame to the first support member at a second end;
• securing a second main frame to a surface, the second main frame comprising a first support member extending generally perpendicular to the second main frame and a second support member extending at a first end from the second main frame to the first support member at a second end;
• coupling a first shelf to the first support member of the first main frame and the first support member of the second main frame;
• and
• coupling a second shelf to the first main frame and the second main frame, the second shelf positioned below the first shelf.
