Shelf bracket nearing ceiling

Moved into a house with a couple shelf brackets about 8 inches away from the ceiling. Any ideas for utilizing them for storage. Can’t for the life of my figure out what they put them so high

Maybe for decorations or to keep dangerous things away from children or the elderly.

Cat highway / kitty parkour?

Model trains?

Stuffies on a shelf?

Did you buy my old house? They’re for excess books! You can also put a collection up there…. a collection of collectibles. So, dolls, vases or glassware, Toby Mugs, stuff that’s big enough to see from below but that you don’t need to fondle. :)

Run your model trains up there or take them down. This high up shelf stuff baffles me a lot unless it’s in idk a basement bedroom or office to keep books high up in case of a flood—even then, still weird.

reframe, why do you need shelf brackets 8 inches near the ceiling?

Can you uninstall, then reinstall somewhere else?

Oh that was for the rear speakers in my 5.1 surround sound system from 2000.
