Whitmor 6060-267 Supreme 5-Tier Shelves, Chrome

We just moved into a new house with much less space in the kitchen for extra small appliances and large canisters than our old house. So, we really needed some storage for things we don't need daily, but do use frequently. This shelf looked like just the ticket, although ordering something there was a worry it might turn out to be "cheap Chinese junk".

The worry was unfounded. This is a great shelf. It is very sturdy and can be easily assembled w/o tools. I will just add one assembly tip. The vertical rods are two sections each and must be screwed together. Ignore the instructions and put the first two or three shelves on the bottom halves first. Then screw on the top halves of the rods and install the upper shelves. It will make sense when you see the parts.

The unit comes very well packed too.

These shelves are great and I'm completely happy with the purchase. Everything came shipped in one box and nothing was scratched or damaged. I love the shiny chrome finish and assembly was pretty straight forward (took less than 30 minutes). These shelves can fit a lot of heavy stuff and really makes the your space more organized and efficient. They look extremely well built and something that would last a long time (there's a 10 year manufacture's warranty). I'm thinking of purchasing more of these units.

What an improvement over the old steel strap cross-braced shelving of the past! These shelves are sturdy, good-looking, fairly priced, and relatively easy to assemble. The incorporated level adjustments are a bonus.

This is a sturdy, attractive shelving unit. The parts were very well-packed and included all the necessary pieces. The instructions were clear enough, and the unit was pretty easy to assemble. It looks like it'll last forever.

The shelves are heavy duty, and they are welded to metal tubes that slide down over the 4 corner uprights. Initially, I was concerned that the shelves would continue to slide out of level, but the design is pretty clever.

Plastic sleeves snap onto the upright poles for each shelf, and the sleeves align themselves with the grooves in the poles (the grooves are cut every inch, so you can space the shelves to suit your needs). The shelves slide onto the sleeves and maintain pressure on the sleeves. Just make sure you install the sleeves at the same level for each shelf.

You can adjust the level of the shelves after the unit is assembled; I had to, since I got one shelf crooked. Just tap the corners of the shelf upward with a block of wood until it lifts off the plastic sleeves; reposition the sleeves, and then tap the shelf corners back down. With the shelves installed, barely 1/8" of the sleeve is visible below each shelf corner.

I do agree with the reviewer who suggested that you assemble the bottom half with 3 shelves first, and then screw in the top portion of the support rods and install the last two shelves. It's easier to wrestle with 3-foot poles instead of 6-foot poles.

I bought this as a utility shelf for my workshop, but it looks nice in the house. I'll be buying a couple more.

This is our second set. They are sturdy and good looking, and easy to modify (in our case, from book shelves to kitchen shelves to utility shelves back to kitchen shelves) to meet fluctuating needs. But: I like to think i can judge for myself what I want out of shelves, and I wish Amazon and whitmor would sell this stuff piece by piece. It is all modular so why cant I buy, say, one with nine shelves? or just three? I know there are basics necessary for the assembly to be stable, but beyond that, why not just trust the people to know what they want?
