Rubbermaid 1780729 Pantry Organization Corner Helper Shelf

First the dimensions which, annoyingly, are not provided by Amazon: W 10.25" D 10.25" H 7" under shelf clearance 6".

This unit is not very thoughtfully designed. If you are using it in below-the-counter cabinets there should be no problem, but in the narrower, above-the-counter cabinets you are likely to run into a problem. Either one of the vertical supports interferes with a hinge, or if you are using it on a removable shelf, then the required screws will be close to the shelf edge and prone to brake out.

In the case of the former, I was able to get around this by unscrewing the lower hinge allowing me to fit the shelf vertical support behind the hinge. However this created a second problem: the shelf feet faced the wrong way and interfered, preventing the shelf from being mounted against the wall. This is essentially the same problem you encounter on a removable shelf. I solved this by breaking the feet loose, reversing them, and crimping them in place. (Incidentally, in every installation you will need to anchor the feet with screws to secure the shelf and keep it from tipping as weight is added to it. These screws are required but not included; a further example of product sloppiness. Once anchored the shelf is sturdy enough to support any load you are likely to place on it.)

In the end the modified shelves worked well. They have greater storage room below the shelf then with most similar cabinet shelves and there was no fourth vertical member to get in the way as with most units. I am satisfied, but more thought put into the design could have made installation much easier and elevated the problems I faced. Also I would have preferred an option for white.

It is a good space saver and I am pleased with this purchase. Only thing I would change is if it was a little bigger,
