Top Shelf TSB-2438 Universal Heavy Duty Window Air Conditioner AC Support Bracket -Holds Up to 200 lbs., No Drilling or Tools Required, White

After we had replacement windows installed it was always a juggling act to put in the air conditioners in the Summer. Trying to balance the air conditioner and a 2X4 while lowering the window, trying to make sure the air conditioner didnt scratch up the window frame etc. This bracket was the solution I was looking for. I was able to make adjustments to the bracket so it fit just right. Now the air conditioner is supported just right.

UPDATE: Third year of use. Still absolutely love this product. It is super easy, super adjustable. Im about to buy another cause new A/C came with an included shelf/bracket like this custom made for the unit. It is junk and Im throwing it out. I slid this one back in place and all is good. Remember to buy yours in the fall when the prices are low. It is spring and the price is jacked up over $100. I take it down and store it each year. Another tip, mark the hole you used when you bring it in for the year cause you will likely store it compressed and hate to have to go through hanging out the window and readjusting to find the right hole. One more, some of these reviews complaining the adjustment pins dont line up with both sides. Ignore this. They are designed that way to allows more precision and less slippage. It will cost you a little on install and storage time but makes it fit oh so perfectly in most any window. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Engineer here. I really like the design of this product. I never thought this could be this easy. No tools needed, adjust to fit window with size adjustment holes and place it in the window. Placed A/C in place, super sturdy. Never had my A/C this well supported ever. Added one piece of insulation, far less then I usually add each year with adhoc supports. For all the different windows out there, this thing is really well designed to fit most. I dont expect it to be perfect as the task here is tough. BUY.

The buttons were at an angle and didnt line up with the holes on the bracket. Tried our best to finagle them, but to no avail. Happened with both sets that we purchased. Returning.

I thought we were going to have to hire someone to secure our window air conditioner in the attic, but this works GREAT!! It was easy to assemble, and easy to install in the window. The air conditioner is now securely in place. When I was searching some commenters thought it was too expensive, but I would rather pay a little more to have something I know is secure. We just had new siding and windows installed last year, so we also like that this doesnt need to be attached to the outside wall to be secure -- so there are no holes in our new exterior!! Love it!!

I was really getting tired of damaging the sill on my vinyl windows with the weight of the window ac unit resting on it year after year. Not to mention the rigging of a temporary summer bracket outside every year. And where did I put the one from last year again??? So I went looking for something engineered for the job. Having an old farm house, this one caught my eye over and over as I researched. My initial question was is this really going to be worth paying 2 - 3 times the cost of support brackets at the big-box stores. That question was answered when the box arrived and I was shocked at how heavy and sturdy this bracket was. I could see that there was no doubt this would support that 50+ pound monster that I lugged in and up and out and down every spring and fall. Simple to assemble, well finished in a hard baked white enamel (it may even be powered coated- not sure) almost unlimited adjustment holes for the angle the unit will rest at, and a really study tray and frame catch bracket put my mind at ease immediately for both strength and return on investment. I expect this bracket to last for many summers to come. Spend the money once and get it over with.

Good idea, easy to install but didn’t fit our windowsill. It left a gap all along the bottom of the ac, not even tape would help.

This was the easiest AC bracket I have ever installed (took me like maybe a minute or two), and my AC is definitely not going anywhere. Im totally inept when it comes to assembling anything, even with detailed instructions, so this bracket was such a pleasant surprise. Well worth the money.

This was such a delightful surprise! I expected screws and hex bolts and all manner of headaches putting this together. It was so simple, I almost didnt believe it. This is top rated by Wirecutter and theyre on the money with this review!

Product is very solid and fits really well into my window frame. Did slightly adjust where the AC lines up with my window so the lip doesn’t exactly align, and some air gaps increased, but that’s because I have an old style house where the side panels don’t line up with where the window slide open. Some rolled up towels were able to seal the gaps. Definitely feel much better about having my window AC above the front of the house, especially if we experience any big earthquakes, I feel like this will actually stay in the window now. Anyways, my product had a slight defect (defects happens even with the best product manufacture design), I reached out to customer service, and they sent me a replacement piece right away. Replacement piece works great. Would buy again.

I was surprised that it was as good as they said it was . It had all the parts only a couple of dings in it so all I had to do was put a heavy spray seal on it just like new . Not often you get an item that’s $76.00 for $17.00 . Works great
