ClosetMaid Wire Shelf Kit with Hardware, 2 Ft. Wide, for Pantry, Closet, Laundry, White Vinyl Finish

All of the negative reviews of this shelf were written by people who didn't read the instructions or even stop to think about it a little bit. If you follow the directions, assembly is quick and easy, resulting in a very sturdy shelf.Some people complained that the metal pins are too small for the leg holes, so they had to use screws and washers. If they had paid attention to the instructions, they would have seen that they needed to put the plastic posts through the leg hole first, then into the wall, and the pin into the post.Others complained that the top of the leg holding the shelf was insecure, and only grips the shelf from the top, causing the shelf to fall if too much weight is put on the front of the shelf. Again, if they had paid attention to the instructions, they would have seen that they needed to put the top of the leg directly under one of the front-to-back wires, not between them. That's what the gap in the top of the leg is for, to fit under one of those wires. Do that, and the shelf will not fall.

Thank goodness for Amazon! These 2' shelf lengths are discontinued and I couldn't find them anywhere else. The wall I wanted to add them to is 5', so combined with the 3' lengths, these were perfect. I now have 6 of this type of shelf in various lengths.Pros: Sturdy, strong, relatively easy to hang. If you need to cut the length down, it is not difficult to do with a hand saw, probably took me about 10 mins? (but much faster if you have power tools...)Cons: the 'pins' you are supposed to insert in the anchors are difficult-at best-to install. I ended up using screws instead. So I would be the anchor in the wall, then use a cordless drill to insert a screw. They feel sturdier and it was much faster and easier.To install, you will want/need: a level, hammer, drill w/ 1/4" bit. As stated above, I also recommend purchasing separate screws rather than using the pins. You may also need a handsaw if you need to cut to length.These shelves are great for utility rooms, closets, garages...would not recommend using for any kind of display.

Overall it looks great and works well. It feels sturdy, and it was easy to assemble. The only downfall is the nails that get hammered into the bottom pieces don’t fit. There too small for the hole. I had to replace the nails w/ a washer and screw (see pics).

Pretty self explanatory here. It's a strong shelf, holds well, easy to install. I didn't actually install it using the molly hooks (I think that's what they're called----the big anchors that you have to drill the holes with the "J" hook on the bottom to hold the actual shelf back) because I installed these in a basement (with concrete walls). So I used a different bracket to "anchor" the back to the wall, but other than that I still used the regular arm brackets that came with it because the holes were plenty big enough to put concrete screws through. They hold up well and are relatively cheap compared to other shelving (wall shelves, floating shelves, etc). I've used them in other places in my house, I live by them in closets because they are convenient in hanging things in conjunction with putting things on the shelves themselves. All in all, a great, easy to use product that is reliable.

Love it! Obviously you’re buying a wire rack so don’t expect it to hold like wood would... common sense 😅 it worked well in my laundry room when I used it there and it work great above my sink. Living in an apartment I didn’t want my sink to be so cluttered so I installed it above my sink. I will later on place decor there too! Easy install! I couldnt find my drill so I used a hammer and it worked like a charm! I hammered the nails in first pulled them out then used the nails to make a bigger hole on the wall... I then used a key wrench to make it bigger... I then hammered in the plastic part in the wall and it was super sturdy. Would’ve been easier with a drill for sure 😅

the reviewers who gave this 1 star because it is "poorly designed" and "only has a little lip that holds no weight" installed it wrong.the 2 45* arms have 2 claws that have a gap for the small wire. a small wire MUST GO BETWEEN THE 2 CLAWS! it clearly states this in the directions.you can clearly see it installed wrong in their own pics. please give yourself 1 star for following directions.this shelf works fine, I have plenty of weight on it. for the price it's fantastic

Easy to install and to cut down to size, if needed.

Perfect for what I intended it for. I was worried because of all the reviews about the brackets - see close up picture. If you put it together the way you are supposed to, the brackets are very sturdy - that thing is not coming down. The bracket has to be up against one of the top wires to be effective. Easy install, alone, took me 20 mins and only that long because I am a measure 10x, drill once gal!
