In love with my closet!!I am absolutely in love with my new Elfa closet system. My clothes, shoes and accessories are perfectly organized. The walnut and platinum components really look great. I especially love the fact that all the components are adjustable! During the summer I'll be able to remove one of my side shelves and make room to hang all my long, pretty sundresses. I couldn't ask for more!

Sleek, functional, and classy.When i was designing my new Elfa system, I was immediately drawn to the gliding shelf.
It looks just like the standard decor shelf, but when you need something sitting at the back of the shelf it becomes instantly easy to reach without knocking anything over. It gives a very sophisticated appeal to the system, and the walnut color is perfect for todays modern man.

Amazing customizable systemI just had a custom designed media center installed in my living room in Walnut and Platinum with these drawers as well as shelves.
To begin with, the customer service was wonderful. They were friendly, took the measurements I provided, and we talked through my needs and wants. Then they came up with a brilliant design that does everything I wanted AND is modern and elegant.
I had them install for me. It looked easy and Eddie was great! It was all done in about 1.5 hours. After watching, I do think I could've done it on my own.
Overall the design make my tiny apartment feel bigger. It looks modern and elegant. The shelving is extremely sturdy and very easy to customize/move around. The drawers have a nice easy glide, and hold a lot of stuff.
I highly recommend any Elfa product!

Elfa Decor Gliding Shelf - GreatI went back and bought several of these. I thought this was a silly purchase at first, but being able to easily pull out a shelf with my folded jeans and casual shorts and quickly find the one I want made me realize how practical and convenient this shelf is. No more bending over and looking through a stack of pants. Worth every penny.

TV standI have an old Sony TV in the bedroom that still works so I don't want to replace it. Creating an elfa space for it was a brilliant idea. It finally looks like it has a home in the room.

great itemI bought these shelvings to redo my home office closet and I couldn't have chosen any better. They work great in the space, they are modern, very spacious and above all, we installed them ourselves, so we were able to cut some expense. They really give a nice touch to the space since I remove the closet doors ...

Glad I added this to my closet!I'm so glad swapped out one of my ventilated shelves for the Birch elfa decor Gliding Shelf. I can pull the shelf out in order to rest a shoe box (while taking out or putting away a pair of shoes), or to fold a sweater, without having to leave the closet. When i'm done, I can just slide the shelf back into place, out of the way until I need it pulled out again.
Very functional!

Gliding ShelfMy walk-in closest in an Elfa and it is amazing! The gliding shelves are sturdy and quiet, and the design is beautiful. The installation takes time but is not complicated at all. Great product. Well worth the money, and the staff is a great help with design and suggestions for maximizing space.

Great Shelves -- Need instructionsWe bought these shelves to add on to our existing unit. They worked great once we found instructions online. Also, the instruction weren't in text format -- we had to watch an entire video to find what we needed. That said, very happy with these overall.

Great shelfThese gliding shelves are so convenient in my hanging space -- it's great to be able to pull them out to set things down while I'm putting away laundry. They glide smoothly and are easy to install.

Awesome drawers!With these drawers in my closet, I don't have to move bulky dressers anymore!! They are strong, and the decorative molding gives it such an expensive look. This elfa has moved with me several times and saved me a load of money every time I reuse it.
Can you install a closet rod under this shelf? Also, can you install two gliding shelves side by side?
Asked by: Hint
As far as the closet rod I don’t see why you couldn’t. The closet rod holders snap into the bracket and type of shelf should be irrelevant. As far as side to side these are self contained shelves so I don’t see a issue in that regard.

Does this gliding shelf require a drawer frame?
If so, does it come with it? I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the information.
Asked by: TDavid
No the gliding shelf snaps into the shelf brackets and ready to glide.

Convert an existing 2' shelf?
Is it possible to convert an existing 2' 16" elfa decor birch shelf to act as a gliding shelf? Would like to replace one that divides two hanging sections - to pull out and fold laundry when needed.
Asked by: WillMSP
No, unfortunately, there is not a way to convert a standard 2' Elfa Decor Shelf into an Elfa Decor Gliding Shelf

Keyboard tray?
Has anyone tried using this as a keyboard tray? Did it work well?
Asked by: ITDesign
This product could be used as a keyboard tray. Please note that if you rest your arms on the gliding shelf, it will tilt down a bit, which is not ideal. To discuss your idea in more detail, please contact our customer solutions department, or LiveChat with us.
