Floating Desk advice

[mattbat]

Looking for advise on how to mount a wooden top to a wall as a ‘floating desk’

The worktop is 1800mm by 600mm solid oak and my aim to use a wooden batton or metal alcove bracket to secure the 600mm edge to the corner wall.

Given the weight of the worktop (it’s solid oak) and it’s use as a desk so will be leant on etc ….I’m after advice on how best to secure the 1800mm to the other wall to give the impression it ‘floating’ rather than have a support leg.

The walls are plasterboard dabbed onto concrete blocks.

Thanks in advance

Something like these:

Heavy Duty Hebgo Bracket 150kg

Heavy duty Hebgo Bracket 150kg with top fixing hole E: 5.5mm and wall fixing hole D: 7.3mm. Grey primed steel, sold individually. Maximum load capacity of 150kg when fixings and wall mounting are appropriate. Maximum distance between brackets 800mm.

You might need to chop out a bit of the dabbed plasterboard behind the bracket and replace with a suitably thick bit of plywood, or cut the PB out and fix the bracket directly to the masonry. Looks like those are available on ebay for a bit less BTW.
