You might consider using a mini โLedger Boardโ approach using a nicely finished piece of wood, then attach the shelf to the top of the ledger, and maybe add support brackets/wood. If the shelving doesnโt work out for you, remove only the shelf and brackets and leave the relatively attractive ledger board intact, perhaps for some other use.
The ledger board will help distribute the load. Anchor it the best way possible.
