Where should corbels be placed?

1 Answer
Where should corbels be placed?
Corbels should be placed every 3 to 6 inches beneath a mantle or shelf to provide adequate support. Specific spacing depends on the size and weight of the shelf and the size and weight of the corbels. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of corbels.
