Best Kitchen Shelving With Reviews

This shelving unit is a bargain. I bought it for use in the kitchen. It's sturdy and offers plenty of storage space. Conveniently, it comes with a choice of either adjustable feet or swivel casters. Where uneven floors are involved the adjustable feet would be the way to go. In any case, I'm not sure it would be wise to move the unit on its casters if heavily laden. Regarding assembly, it's very straightforward if you read the instructions and examine the parts first. Note that the plastic sleeves that clamp around the uprights to support the shelves are marked to indicate the correct vertical placement. The four uprights come as eight pieces that screw together in pairs. One thing that would make assembly easier would be NOT to follow the instruction that tell you to fully assemble the uprights before adding shelves. This is the trickiest part of assembly to get things aligned so that the shelves slide down the poles to lock onto the sleeves. It would be easiest with two people. However, it would be to manage if you did this. Screw the casters or feet into the bottom (Female thread) of the lower section of each of the four uprights. Clamp sleeves to each pole at the lowest possible click-point above the casters. Place one self on the floor with the lip facing up. Insert the four poles into the corner holes of the shelf, then lift the shelf so that it slides up the poles towards the sleeves. Then flip this assembly over so it's standing on the casters and tap the shelf firmly onto the sleeves. Now you have a sturdy base onto which you can add another set of sleeves and a second shelf. At this point, it's much easier to screw on the top section of each pole and continue to add sleeves and shelves until you reach the top. Note the spacing of shelves if fully adjustable and not permanent. You could readjust later by tapping a shelf upward of the sleeves and repositioning.

I bought 2 of these racks to organize my shoes in my closet. I chose these because the shelves are adjustable in 1" increments, so I could space them according to the space needed for flats, boots, etc. They were fairly easy to assemble, and are very sturdy. I looked at racks at all price levels, but for the specific space I had available, placing 2 side-by-side really maximized the floor space under my hanging clothes for a lot less money than I thought. I bought the Chrome color, and they look very clean, modern and bright in my reorganized closet! Just what I needed! PC in Oklahoma

These are professional quality shelves. I have seen the exact same type of shelves used to hold buspans and clean dishes when I was a dishwasher, and to hold dry stock weighing hundreds of pounds. And, when fully assembled, they are quite stable without all the added braces needed for the junk-mart shelves these are replacing. (Which also totally rusted out.) And assembly was quite easy, requiring no tools aside the supplied wrench (which wasn't even needed), unlike the junk mart unit that required tools and took even longer to put together. Granted, the price is a bit on the steep side. However, for professional quality, it is well worth knowing I will not be having this unit buckle because the shelves bent (as did the junk mart unit), crack (as many plastic units do), or rust out in a few years with only 100 pounds of load. Definitely, I recommend spending the extra money and getting this, or a similar unit in another size if this is not the right size for your needs.

I got this to store outdoor items and boxes of decorations in my garage. Its really sturdy and was so easy to assemble....it took me only about 15 minutes, and I'm a senior citizen. It helps if you use a soft rubber mallet to put the pieces in place. I'd like to get another one for one of my closets. Good purchase !

I purchased the cream color because it was cheaper than the other colors. It’s not a cream, but more of a dark khaki. There are black splotches strategically placed to give the cart a worn in look. I think it can do without. Maybe one day I’ll spray paint it. For now, the color is growing on me. The cart holds all my cosmetics, hair and skin care products. I love it! I definitely recommend this cart for extra storage. I no longer have to dig around in my cabinets to find my stuff, thus creating more space inside the cabinets and shower. The cart is sturdy too. I even put an over the cabinet hair tools organizer (wouldn’t fit on my cabinets) over the top shelf of the cart. Everything holds up well and it was easy to put together.

It is a unique size, which I very thankful for, I am remodeling my kitchen, and where I removed some cabinets, I needed to fill that void with something functional, the size made the difference, and the cost was about 40% cheaper than the big box store. This is of better quality. I now have more storage space than when those two cabinets where there. I am a happy camper.

Nice little shelves! We bought 3 sets of these to put in the inside corners of our closets to give us space to put stuff up off the floor. We have put this kind of shelving together several times over the years so we were familiar with how to do them. The important thing is to make sure you get the shelves down evenly and firmly on the black pieces that go on the tubing. Also make sure to level them. Ours were stable and sturdy! We decided to use the smaller ones that come with the silver shelving in the center of the closets separately from the bigger one and place them in the center of the closet to hold extra blankets and boxes of shoes. mine came with instructions just saying, some people in reviews were complaining about no instructions.

This shelving unit is a good value for the price. It was easy for me to assemble by myself, without any assistance. The materials seem to be of good quality, and it is well-engineered. The manufacturer was thoughtful enough to include anchoring hardware to stabilize the unit if desired, although it seems quite stable as is. It's a very nice size for use in small areas where space is at a premium.

**Update on review** Changed to 4 stars. Once I put the microwave on shelf and baskets on top, with the added weight, it seems to be a bit sturdier. My son liked it, so I actually just ordered another one for his dorm room. I’m shocked this really got such high reviews. After two nights of attempting to put this together, I gave up and called in backup. Instructions and labeling sucked. It’s finally together but hesitant to have my daughter bring to her college dorm room. Does not seem sturdy enough to hold microwave. Due to it being a dorm room won’t be able to use the wall reinforcers to help with that. Thought if we liked it would buy another for son’s dorm room but we will be looking for something else.

Oh my gosh, what a dream! I know, its "only" a shelving system, but it's so far and beyond one we bought last week from a diff store. That one ended up not being the right size, and even if it was I prob wouldnt have kept it. Everytime I got the bottom shelf over the 4 legs, if I moved it to see if it would fit, it fell apart! The plastic covers that clip together on each pole which then the shelves are supp to go down over, snapped off every time and never lined up well. This shelf set was 100% easier!! The same identical look as the other, diff brand, same little snap on plastic pieces for under the shelves, but these actually fit into predrilled tiny holes on the poles so they don't slide or pop off as you slide the shelf over them. What a diff! Put it together, on a whim, at midnight on my way to bed... I was finished in 20 -30 mins, including unpacking and unwrapping all the pieces and piles! It fits perfectly in my laundry/pantry room. Only brand I'll buy from now on, Wayfair Rocks!

I’ve had this less than a month but so far, so good. I can’t speak on longevity of this item but it seems sturdy enough to last quite a while. This was easy to put together for me and I'm not a DIYer, nor am I big and strong. I had to tilt it down or put it on its side to add the topmost shelves, but that really wasn't very difficult. I even did it with the wheels on. They look nice and hopefully they’re recyclable when they come to the end of their life which hopefully will be only after many years. I didn't have any issues with damage nor breakage from the delivery process. The shelving boxes are labelled as "Honey Can Do" though it doesn't say that in the description, still it appears to measure exactly as the measurements are in this description on Wayfair. I don't have tons of stuff on the shelves so I don't know if it will truly hold the weight that it says it will. I bought two units and put 6 shelves on one and 4 on the other. I really wish they sold more shelves for this, and at a decent price. I’d like shorter spaces so I don’t have to pile things on top of one another, especially since I’m using one of these for kitchen items. On the unit with 6 shelves I probably have about a hundred pounds or so and it moves easily with that. I have no idea if it will really be as sturdy with the labeled weight limit in the description. There doesn’t seem to be any unsturdiness and I don’t fear it tipping when I move it but I also don’t push it carelessly. I can scoot it over a few feet with one hand. The biggest pain, which isn’t a fault, was trying to decide how tall I wanted each shelving space to be. I had to measure appliances and count notches to make sure things were even, I didn’t need equidistant spaces. I put the biggest space on the bottom and that’s where I put the heavier stuff, which makes sense to me in case there are ever any tipping issues, which I don’t think there will be. I also bought some S-Hooks to hang stuff on the sides (apron, cooling racks, utensils) and that’s working well also. I prefer the 18" wide shelves but space is an issue so I chose the 14". I do have a couple of the 18" wide steel shelves too. Honestly, so far, I can't see anything wrong with the two I bought. All the pieces were there. The instructions were clear and were picture instructions. There are too many hard plastic packing pieces that don't seem to be recyclable but it didn't seem to have too different of an amount of pieces than the other two brands of shelving I purchased. Also the box for it wasn't just a plain brown box with black print like the other shelving units I purchased, rather it was a colorful, more glossy box, so I don't know if those are recyclable but it seems a waste of packaging if not. Plain brown cardboard box that's absolutely recyclable will do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed, actually was surprised at how much I liked this system. We just recently moved and had additional storage space in the basement and my first attempt to organize was putting everything stacked up on the floor. These shelves were my first attempt to get organized and they did exactly that. High-quality materials, easy assembly, plenty of space. Absolutely will pick up more of these for my garage. Effectiveness The system can hold a ton of things. The before and after of the room was amazing, previously we had trouble walking into the room and finding anything. Now everything is right there easy to see, easy to get to, and best of all there seems to be more space to deal with.QualityEverything about this set screams quality, metal is solid and screams durable. Once I put this together and got everything on it it didn't seem flimsy, it seemed the exact opposite. I feel like the shelves will be around for decades.Look and FeelSimple and clean look that made my storage unit seem bigger than it actually was. I couldn't believe how much space this system saved me, huge upgrade from stacking things on my floor. Love the simple coloring. The shelving system is huge, but it didn't overwhelm the spaceAssemblyWas pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to put this together, took 20 minutes max and I have complete confidence in the assembly after the fact. Not having to use tools was a very nice bonus as well. The one thing I would caution is that the package is 100+ pounds. Had it delivered to the front door and had to take it down to the basement in pieces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ordered this shelf recently to add a little extra storage at the top of one wall in my garage where I've installed the 8' GearWall panels from floor to ceiling. Arrived on time, looks really sharp and does what it is supposed to do - it's a shelf, so it's not the most complicated accessory for the GearWall panel, but it just works. Again, I really like the modularity of all the Gladiator accessories like this shelf - easy to install, sturdy and easy to move around (a little or a lot). Really pleased with it; gets my recommendation without question.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never had much luck in the past with track type shelving, so I almost didn’t get this. I figured it would be like all the others and barely hold anything without falling. But, I’ve been so impressed with gladiators other products, I decided to give it a chance, and it did not disappoint! This shelf is sturdy , durable, and an awesome addition to any garage! I now have one for car cleaning supplies, other liquids, and paint (It will even hold gallon size cans!) installation was a breeze and comes with very detailed instructions if needed! I will definitely be picking up a few more of these in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A heavy shelf but I managed to put six of them up on my own without assistance even though they are somewhat heavy and awkward. These are not some flimsy wire shelf that bends and twists at the sight of a large heavy storage box. I think the person who complained about the weight is missing the point, The shelves are long at 48 " and deep so by necessity they have to be heavy especially with their load rating. Two mounting options help give you a choice depending on you storage requirements, And they do make a reasonable work shelf too, These have no equal in the Gladiator range. As for installation they are not that difficult to install if your walls are flat as the shelf has a flange that runs the width of the shelf at the back that fits on the ridge of the panel. So your GearTrack or GearWall has to be straight or the shelf will be a pig to fit. I only has one spot that was not perfectly level so I had to shim part of the Gearwall to make it perfectly straight. I used GearWall rather than Gear Track to give a little more flexibility over positioning above my cabinets but I believe the Gear Track is a stronger option.

I’ve been hunting for storage that doesn’t scream “closet reject” – enter Gracie Oaks’ Ohlson Display Unit. My living room was drowning in kids’ toys, random decor, and a pile of books that somehow multiplied overnight. This 3-shelf beauty? Total lifesaver. The rustic wood-grain finish gives off cozy cabin vibes (but in a chic, modern way), and the open shelves let me flaunt my favorite plants and photo frames without feeling cluttered. Bonus: It’s sturdy enough to hold my collection of thrifted ceramics and survive my toddler’s “helpful” reorganizing. Assembly was a breeze – I knocked it out during naptime with zero rage-quits. The neutral tone blends with my farmhouse-meets-boho chaos, and I love that it works everywhere – from my entryway (shoe dump, solved!) to the kitchen (herb garden upgrade!). For the price, I expected “meh” particleboard, but this feels legit. If your space needs warmth + function, this shelf is your soulmate.

I was looking for an 8-tier rack for my linen closet that I could mount to the door, unseen, until the door was opened. While you can opt to mount to a hollow core door per the instruction on the back of the box, hardware is not included for that option. You must purchase hollow door and drywall anchors, rated to hold up to 40#. The safest options are to use the over-the-door hooks, mount to a wall using the drywall hardware, also included or attach to a solid door. I didn’t want to take the chance of having to replace a hollow core closet door so soon after moving into my new home so I opted to use the over the door hooks. This was easy to assemble using the hangers. After connecting and hanging the rails on both sides I hung several of the baskets into place to make sure all the rails were in perfect alignment and proceeded to mark off the places of attachment. Hardware is included; no extra trips to the hardware store, yeah! What I really like about this rack, over others that I’ve had, is the three corrals that are included with this rack. They are an extra security that prevents taller bottles from toppling over when you close the closet door. Overall an “A-“ - not due to the product itself but rather the instructions. It seemed odd to print them on the back of the box. It was cumbersome to try to read as you go about assembling the rack. A better choice would be a printed sheet inside the box, please. As it was I had to down load them from their website. Since there is no page break only the first third of the instructions printed. I had to reduce the print field size by 50% making for tiny font- tiny print. Not fun to read. Opt for an instruction sheet Closet Maid.

I bought this shelving unit pre-Covid-19 for my small office at work. It fit perfectly over my mini-fridge and was able to safely hold my microwave and coffee bar items. My office floor is carpeted so that helped with stability. Now that I am working from home, I use the shelving unit to hold snacks and a few coffee bar items. I placed it in my dining room which has hardwood floors and it still remained stable. However, the shelving unit was not aesthetically right for the room. I moved it to the basement for storing perishable foods and bought the Macon 63" H x 29.88 W Metal Etagere Bookcase. This is item is so awesome and definitely aesthetically right! I'll be reviewing that as well and may include a picture. Stay safe!
