1. A bracket for a floating shelf, the bracket comprising:
a solid plate with a planar back side configured to abut to a flat vertical surface of a wall and a planar front side;
a plurality of circular apertures, each aperture extending through the solid plate from the planar front side of the solid plate and through the back side of the solid plate;
a plurality of rods secured to the solid plate and extending therefrom, with each rod having a proximal end received within a different one of the plurality of circular apertures;
the proximal ends of the plurality of rods being flush with the planar back side of the solid plate and configured to be substantially flush with the wall;
the solid plate having an elongated rectangular shape with a rectangular perimeter and opposite lateral ends;
a cutout at each of the opposite lateral ends of the solid plate sized to receive a tool to separate the bracket from the floating shelf;
an array of bores extending through the solid plate and configured to receive fasteners to secure the solid plate to the wall;
each bore of the array of bores being separated from an adjacent bore by an intervening web;
each bore having a width and each web having a width, a total of the widths of the bores being greater than a total of the widths of the webs; and
the array of bores arranged in series and extending laterally from one lateral side of the solid plate to an opposite lateral side of the solid plate.
