Whitmor 6054-2364 Chrome Supreme Collection Supreme Stacking Shelf with Basket

Whitmor 6054-2364 Chrome Supreme Collection Supreme Stacking Shelf with BasketI loved the product, once I figured out that these arent actually square! There's only one way the top shelf fits on the four poles, so if it's not fitting, turn the shelf 90 degrees. :) I put two of these on the bottom, and added two of the large/wide stacking shelves on top of them (had trouble getting those shelves together too, solution not as easy). Probably the best feature is that you can adjust the height of the shelf in 1-inch increments, customizing it for your space. However, once the shelf is on, dont expect to adjust it easily, so decide where you want it before you put it in place. It's also great that the "feet" screw in, so you can put it on an uneven floor and simply adjust the screw to the appropriate height.

I kinda wish there was one with a large bottom basket as well. I also wish the slats were slightly closer together I put things in baskets on these shelves, as the products themselves wont stand up/stay. I also use it for towels/sheets.

We have a tiny apartment kitchen and this really helped with the clutter. I was amazed about how much actually fit in it

Buy Whitmor 6054-2364 Chrome Supreme Collection Supreme Stacking Shelf with Basket Now

Very sturdy item. I probably won't end up using the basket because the unit is not tall enough to allow a lot of clearance. (for my purposes, I think the unit with one shelf and no basket would have been the better choice). But this is a great shelf and I will get a lot of use out of it.

I love the versatility these offer. I stacked 6 of them in my pantry and configured the basket and shelves, just the way I wanted them. I like the fact that you can adjust the feet to level them too. I will buy 6 more...I wish you could buy these in pieces, I need extra poles.

I got this to go in my pantry that had only one shelf up high. It was assembled easily enough , only problem i had is one of the plastic pieces was broken that goes on the post. I was able to get it to work with some glue, but i probably wont put anything heavy on that one shelf in case it slips down.

Household Essentials Glidez Sliding Veggie Bin Cabinet Organizer

Household Essentials Glidez Sliding Veggie Bin Cabinet Organizer, WhiteI was expecting something pretty sturdy for the price but was more than surprised by the heavy duty quality and smooth rolling mechanism. The only complaint I have is really my fault. I got it for files because it said it was 13" however it narrows at the bottom. I adjusted to that by putting my files the other way but can't fit as many.

This is an excellent, quality item and I would highly recommend for anyone who has the need for one. I want to buy some for my kitchen pots and pans.

Safco Black Commercial Wire Shelving

Safco 5276BL Black Commercial Wire Shelving, 36 by 18-InchI am 58 yrs old and a woman with some arthritis in my hands. I put it together buy myself in one hour. It has 4 shelves, but I wanted more so I bought 2 more of a different brand and they look the same. I also purchased a 4" wheel set.

If you buy extra shelves, DO NOT buy extra sleeve clips; they are included. It doesn't state that and I did buy them, only not to be needed and I returned them.

The cart is sturdy, rolls easily and I am very happy.

I really like these shelves. They feel solid, and, once assembled, the rack is rigid and not at all willowy. The assembly is simple (make sure you have twice the height of the rack in floorspace when you're doing the assmbly so that you can easily slide the rods into the bottom shelf one at a time).

You can pay a lot more for wire shelving, but unless you're looking for industrial ruggedness these shelves should work well for you.

I bought two extra shelves for this unit, for a total of 6. It's a great unit and went together fairly easily. I use it to store pantry and other household items in my laundry room. The only problem with this open wire shelf is that some small bottles don't stand up on it. But otherwise, I love it.

Prepac White Entryway Cubbie Shelf

Prepac White Entryway Cubbie ShelfThe cubbie shelf arrived in a timely manner, albeit damaged. It was obviously a shipping damage and I did not contact the seller, because it wasn't worth the effort of having a new one shipped. The product itself is ingeniously designed and was easy to put together, but it was fabricated by the cheapest manufacturer. It looks decent at a glance, but upon close scrutiny it does not hold up well. It wouldn't survive any kind of manhandling, but it serves my purpose. However, my biggest complaint is that they shipped black screws to mount the chrome hooks.

Made of the same build it yourself type particle board found in all furniture of it class. Easy to assemble. Not a fan how it mounts to the wall and you have to be careful when putting in the center divides......holes go up! I think. Just double check.

Looks fine, works....what else to say? We found some baskets that fit perfect (and i mean perfect) from home depot but I can't find them online. They are called perfect home essentials, nylon medium storage bin. 10.5in w, 14.2 l, 8.5 h.

Finally got this hung in my newly painted kitchen and overall I am really impressed. I put it together myself and while I did have a couple issues, that may have been because I tend not to read ahead when looking at instructions. It is relatively heavy (was for me anyway) and seems sturdy. The only advice I have is to read ahead when putting together as some of the boards have to go a specific way and if you don't look ahead, you might end up doing it one way and having to undo. otherwise pretty simple. Oh, another thing does not come with screws to mount to the wall so you will need to have 3 2-3/4 inch screws for that.

We wanted to put these shelves over bead board in the entryway of the house and put the Prepac Shoe Storage Cubby at the bottom. When the beadboard and two Prepac items were installed by my husband, the completed look was wonderful. Dressed up the entryway and gave us all a place for coats, shoes, and bookbags. I love the sense of order it gave to our family. We bought heavy duty hooks for the coats. The ones that came with the unit weren't big enough.

Unlike other reviewers who write that the shelf is flimsy, I believe it's really solid and strong. I mounted it to the wall directly into the studs with 3 x 2.5" #10 wood screws. I can't imagine how the shelf will ever come down. I'm pleased. And the hardware I received was chrome/silver, not black.

Scrapbook Paper Storage Cube System

Scrapbook Paper Storage Cube SystemI received this item for my birthday last year, and thought it would be the perfect solution to my scrapbook mess. The product went together rather easily, but the black plastic knobs/connectors that are supposed to hold it together DO NOT. They pop off therefor making the whole contraption collapse. Mine came with a black dust cover, also a good idea. However, when you try to put the cover on, it makes the black connectors pop of again and all paper or items stored on the tower fall off. Not impressed.

I sought for a paper storage solution and thought I would give this a try. It looks fairly easy to assemble, but I had difficulty doing so. Even after I received help, it is not very sturdy. If the cubes are not assembled absolutely perfect, it messes up the ones above and then the whole tower is crooked. I think I should have gotten actual shelves.

This storage unit is very handy. The only problem is how hard it is to put together. I consider myself pretty handy and don't have a problem assembling things, usually. It took me over 4 hours to assemble this thing! After wrestling with the gazillion clips that hold the shelves together and suffering scraped knuckles, I had to resort to using plyers to finish the job. Ridiculous! Even though the product is useful, I would not recommend it because it isn't worth the headache you get from putting it together. There has to be a better way!

This is basically a good product. You will need to use zip-ties to reinforce the joints and shelves. A second set of hands would be helpful in assembly.

Want Scrapbook Paper Storage Cube System Discount?

I purchased this product to store my paper for card-making. At first it appeared to be boxed with no instructions on assembly. My son in-law came to my home and I asked him if he could assemble it for me as I couldn't even figure out how to get the wheels on. It really didn't take him long to assemble (an engineer by trade)but alas, three quarters of the way thru the process, there laid the asssembly instructions held by static to one of the shelves. So much for making this an easy task!!!

One more thing--handle this very carefully as it is not very sturdy!!! The box that this came in stated that the storage unit can be added onto. Don't even think about it. It would definitely topple over. BEWARE......

Southern Enterprises Edgehill 3-Piece Shelf Set

Southern Enterprises Edgehill 3-Piece Shelf SetI love they way the shelves look. Though the shelves are very nice and have a high quality tuscan/rustic feel, the particular shelves I received in my order were not even close to level once I installed them. I couldn't tell if the shelves were bent, or if they were purposefully made with a slant, but with the hardware provided I was unable to keep them level, and therefore, unable to place anything on them.

Montego 5 Tier Bookcase - Black

Yu Shan 324-52 Montego 5-Tier Bookcase, BlackI bought this to replace my cheap laminate particle board bookcases. This solid wood construction seems to be holding up a lot better than the cheap kind, and it looks great!

This was a perfect item for my office. I have a lot of books and materials to store/display. This was easy to assemble and its very attractive. I've received tons of compliments on it!

This is a great bookshelf, it's nice to have a quality, 100% wood product for a reasonable price. The case was super easy to put together, the only complaint is that one of the screws wasn't indented in the middle so I couldn't insert it, I had to use another screw from another piece of furniture.

It is situated in my hallway and I have pictures of the family and elegant pottery on the shelves. I have received wonderful comments, especially from my friends who are very "wealthy" and continue to work.

Grayline 411246 Adjustable Back of Door Shelf System, White

Grayline 411246 Adjustable Back of Door Shelf System, WhiteThis product is a reasonably sturdy hanging storage system that is not too hard to install. The construction is vinyl coated wire baskets/shelves and vertical supports. The shelves are strong enough to support canned goods with minimal flexing. The one drawback I found was that the spacing of rungs on the ladder style vertical supports is too close to allow easy insertion of the shelves. I was able to install them but it required some amount of force and twisting. Also, to prevent any movement when the door is opened/closed, the plastic clips for the sides must be installed with screws not the adhesive pads supplied with the product. I used plastic anchors drilled into the hollow core door. This does mean that the door will have holes if the unit is removed.

Bought this for my small pantry that desperately needed some space. There are no measurements on the description, but it measures 17 inches across. My pantry door is narrow (18 in) so it just barely fit-we used the wall mounting hardware that came with it to prevent flopping back and forth, and mounted the bottom half under the doorknob (as the door is too narrow to have the whole unit hanging. Cleared up quite a bit of space in the pantry that was formerly overflowing. I love inside-the-door storage and this was a great solution!

Bought this to fit on our small pantry door for more storage. Assmebly was easy and we did use screws to mount it to the door. The racks do bend/flex a little when cans or heavier items are placed in them but doesn't seem like they will break. Had to bend the outside frame .5 of an inch to fit around the door handle (again, the pantry is small). If I had a normal sized pantry (regular door size) I think I'd look for a wider rack for more storage. This rack was just a tiny bit larger than needed for our small pantry but with some modifications it fit fine, however I think I'd find it on the small end (width wise) for a normal to large size pantry.

I've only had this a few days. It holds a pretty decent amount of extra stuff, and installation was easy as can be. I would encourage anyone installing this to use screws to securely keep this mounted to the back of the door. I used smaller screws because the ones that came with it seemed to be a little too long for my door. I was afraid they would go through the other side. Another good thing about this are the items stored on it are very visible and easy to gain access. There was stuff in our pantry that we would never bother to use because it was too hard to find. Seems sturdy enough and overall a very good buy.

Safco 6250 Industrial Steel Shelving, 6 Shelves, 36w x 12d, Dark Gray

Safco 6250 Industrial Steel Shelving, 6 Shelves, 36w x 12d, Dark GrayThey seem sturdy. The only problem is we can't install them because despite what you see in the picture, these do not come with the posts. Nowhere in the description does it mention this. These are the shelves only. If you order this you will get a box of shelves, some hardware and nothing more. The posts you also have to order.

**EDIT**

The seller sent the posts at a lowered costs. We got the shelves and put them together easily enough. They look great and are perfect size for a free standing book shelf. So far no complaints. One of the shelves was dinged pretty good, but whatever; that's the breaks when shipping heavy shelves around the country I guess.

Heininger 5560 GarageMate VersaShelf 3 Pack Shelving System

Heininger 5560 GarageMate VersaShelf 3 Pack Shelving SystemOh, how Americans can create great little junky products that work like a million! The set of 3 Heininger shelves are like heroin: You'll need more once you get the first box.

Installs on a wall like a normal, plastic shelf, or on pegboard, which is pretty smart, but best, turn 'em around and they drop dead-center between studs in the garage or anywhere that you have 16" to center studs for fast storage you'll be happy to have. One is a shelf, one is for screwdrivers, and one is for storage. They don't hold much weight (20 lbs, so don't, like, try to put 5 bags of flour on one shelf) but that ensures that your small stuff like a can of oil, WD-40, seeds, filters, baby food jars of screws or car cleaning sprays are safely within reach and easily found.

Baby! Where ya been so long? These are brilliant use of space! Give anybody 3 boxes of these and you'll be a true hero. MY highest kudos for a good, quick-to-mount products that anybody would love.

This is a simple product, at a fair price. It is made in the US, and it's reflected in the price and quality.

It might be a few $$ cheaper if it was made overseas, but it would probably also be thinner and more fragile.

There are 3 shelves that attach to your wall, pegboard or between 16" on center studs.

One is a flat tray, one is a dished tray and the third has holes for holding small screwdrivers, spade bits, etc.

They are small, so they won't hold much. Mine are above my bench and hold small items I want to keep close by and not take drawer space.

Useful, simple, easy to install. An option to buy a large quantity at a discount would help the new garage owner.

We are using these for extra shelving at our automotive repair shop. First thing I noticed when I opened the box was that most of the nubs for hanging on a peg board were all bent and warped. Don't get me wrong, it is great that this item is made in the USA but the quality of construction could use some work. Since we hung the shelves flushed to to a wall, the nubs were not an issue. We "clipped" the nubs off so the back of the shelf would sit flush against the wall. They are handy. The tool holder is great for holding those often used screwdrivers. The standard flat shelf is used to hold lubricating cans and the four pocket shelf is great for holding nuts/bolts and O-rings. Each shelf can hold up to 20 pounds. They are extremely affordable, so if you can get past the deformed peg nubs you won't be disappointment with the shelves versatility.

I've just spent the morning starting the annual garage clean put and reorganization. I have a floor to ceiling pegboard on one wall and it was in desperate need of straightening out. I got these shelves thinking that they would be useful in some way.

First the pros:

Made in the USA (imagine that)

Easy packaging

Easily Installed

The Cons:

Almost too small to be useful in any way. I suppose if you purchased a bunch of them and lined them up together they may be a little more effective. If you are just starting out as a new homeowner and have a few little screws and tools to keep track of this would be OK for you. If you, like me have been a homeowner for 35 plus years than this isn't even a drop in the bucket.

The shelf part of the trio is really too narrow to put much on.

The divided part is great and I think it would be better to just have 3 of those than 1 of each.

The shelf with the holes for screwdrivers didn't work at all for my tools. They didn't stay in place neatly. I did manage to use those slots for a bunch of spade drill bits which display in nicely.

All in all depending on the kind of organizing you need to do, it might be better to get one of those pegboard units with the little drawers instead.

Want Heininger 5560 GarageMate VersaShelf 3 Pack Shelving System Discount?

The GarageMate 3-pack shelving system includes a tray to hold your screw drivers and other tools, a tray to hold loose nuts/bolts or spray cans, and a flat tray to hold a variety of items.

The shelves are advertised to allow for easy mounting to walls and pegboards. It includes special prongs that clip onto a pegboard, or you can flip the tray around and insert them in-between wall studs on a garage wall (non-insulated of course) and fastened with screws or nails. Finally, it can be mounted onto flat walls via screws/nails as well.

Here are some issues with the shelves. I chose to install them in my non-insulated detached garage because I didn't really need such tacky looking shelves inside the house. Although tacky for a furnished house, they are rather sleek/modern for a workshop or garage. I quickly discovered that unless your wall studs were exactly the same width as the tray, you couldn't mount them flush against the studs. If you chose to mount them flush against the wall (with the tray hanging out), you have to break the peg board plastic hooks (not a big deal).

The trays don't hold a lot of materials, and the previous owner of my garage/house had nailed flat pieces of wood in-between the studs for holding tools and knick nacks, but these plastic trays just look more modern and clean.

Bottom line is that this shelving system is indeed easy to use, and you have 3 options of mounting them: pegboards, in-between studs, or flush against a wall. If you intend to fully outfit your garage, you will need a whole bunch of these. These do save a lot of space if you have a non-insulated wall to mount these trays.

Overall: 4/5 stars

Gladiator GarageWorks GAGB28KDSG Ready-to-Assemble 28-Inch Modular GearBox

Gladiator GarageWorks GAGB28KDSG Ready-to-Assemble 28-Inch Modular GearBoxI've bought two of these within the last year and both were easy to build and very well constructed. The directions are very easy to follow and it took me about an hour to setup.

Drawers on both of my units slide well.

Keep an eye on the price of these units as they tend to go on sale for a great price and free shipping.

The quality is OK for the price. It is somewhat difficult to assemble, but once together it gets the job done. It's even better with the wheel kit on it. I'm glad I bought the kit.

Just a note for those that are looking to purchase these cabinets. If you are planning on these cabinets with the optional casters and the VersaTop Work Surface and 6' or 8' Workbench they will not fit under the workbench, too tall by only around an inch. Knowing that this cabinet is not the "Premier" series I don't see how Whirlpool could overlook this as this is to be a modular system. Was told these are the "Manufactured in China" cheaper model and not the "Premier" made in Chicago. Would have thought that Gladiator would have been more specific to this such as another line of product as they have the Cadet and Premier lines. Still a good overall product, just need to be a little more descriptive in their product lines and versatility.

Quick - Shelf Hangers Six Shelf 16" Deep Ceiling Mount Shelving Unit

Quick - Shelf Hangers Six Shelf 16' Deep Ceiling Mount Shelving UnitThese shelf hangers are surprisingly easy to assemble and disassemble for relocation. Instead of drilling about 54 holes in the wall for the multiple support brackets for each shelf (3 screws/bracket x 3 brackets/shelf x 6 shelves), there are only 6 holes for the eye screws for the Quick Shelf. You don't need to install all of the under shelf clips for the Quick Shelf, but you should use all of the 18 additonal screws to attach the shelves to an L-bracket support.

The 6 shelves can be split into two sets of three or 4+2 or 5+1, or 2+2+2, etc. by adding only 6 or 12 eye screws.

Using full 1 inch thick pine boards, we made 10 foot long shelves with no sags. The product spec says it holds 1050 lbs. I believe it.

For wet basements and garages, they don't sit in water on the floor nor do they attach to a damp wall.

I'm not sure why I didn't think of this beforehand, but it is pretty impossible to find any plywood boards over 8' long. Again, I don't know why I didn't think of this as I am in the lumber store every day, and it never occurred to me that when you space these out at 4 foot lengths, and get even the tiniest bit of overhang, you will have to figure out a way to create your own shelves. The instructions allow for 8 foot widths (for light loading), and my joists are on 24" centers, so I was left with about a 10.5' shelf. My first joist was about a foot from the wall, as the header was buried in the wall, with less than an inch to bite into, so I just located the next joist which was 1 foot from the wall. I really needed these shelves to butt up to the wall, so this was my solution.

My idea was to rip down a 2x4x10 in half, and then screw a piece of 3/4" ply onto the 10' section. It turned out cheaper than using the straight 1" ply, since I had the 3/4 just laying around, but it took a few minutes of frying neurons to figure it out. It was still plenty strong after I screwed the brackets into the wall.

Great system, and the total costs for the wood was around $12. If you need to buy the plywood, it should run you no more than $28 for the wood. You obviously need a table saw, as the lumber stores I go to only have a mitered chop saw, or one of the fancy vertical table saws and that's all. Not much in the way of free cuts when it comes to ripping down 2x4's. So if your joists are not on 16", and you want the maximum shelving possible for the system, be ready to rip down a 2x4.

If anyone has any other solutions to this problem please let me know, as I plan on installing another set of these. They literally took me 10 minutes to install, but I also knew where my joists were. Just drilled 6 holes, and inserted the eye bolts. I used a 1 1/4" socket to get the eye bolts in as I just couldn't find my 1 1/8" socket. Worked like a charm, just had to use the low speed on my drill. Great shelves, sturdy, and I couldn't see these breaking, even will all of my tools on them.

These are great hanging shelves. The metal hangers are quite substantial. I bought this model (14" wide) and also two of the 24" deep version Quick Shelf Hangers Overhead Ceiling Mount Storage Unit. The 16" and 24" are identical, just the hanger is wider.

Note, some people noted using a hex socket to install. I recommend it. My 24" set needed a 1 1/4" socket, and my 16" set needed a 1 1/8" socket.

With 3/4 plywood or particle board, you have a very sturdy shelf.

I used 4 hangers, with 8' boards -which doesn't match the photo. I used 4 longs on top, and then 3 rows of 4 each of the shorter. I ended up with a little extra hardware and did not reach the floor. For me it is perfect because I can store some items directly on the floor below.

A reminder: a typical 4'x8' board (48" x 96") divides cleanly into 3 16" boards. Free cutting at a large box store. I ended up using white melamine on particle board, which is perfect for a basement.
