When designing supports for the structures in your home, there are many standard ways to support the weight of shelves, counter tops, bar tops, cabinets, beams, and ceilings.

Corbels have been used throughout the ages and were prevalent throughout Europe and the Mediterranean regions. They were initially stone brackets projecting from the face of walls in support of the overhead weight of cornices and archways.
