Shelf support

The previous owner had two wooden shelves above the bar. From what I can tell by removing them and using stud finder etc. only the bottom shelf is anchored to a stud and only on the left side. The right side and top shelf are anchored to the drywall using 3 or 4 inch wood screws. My question is is this enough support and how much weight can these hold. The second picture is another shelf I have taken down and want to hang elsewhere but none of the screw holes on the triangle supports are 32 inches apart. Is it enough to anchor just one side of this shelf to a stud and let the bottom support hold the other one up only into drywall? https://imgur.com/a/1s7RvVk submitted by /u/tmmccaff [link] [comments]
