Best Do It YourselfElfa freestanding system is well worth it. Do watch the how-to videos, they are a must. I put the system in a walk-in closet and the best feature is you can change out the racks, drawers and misc pieces as your lifestyle changes. I emailed the Container Store, with a few "what do I do" and they responded quickly and were helpful.

love elfa freesandingI purchased an elfa freestanding system for my craft supplies since I only had space in front of windows. It works beautifully and now after using it for awhile I know that it is not going to tip no matter how much weight I have in the drawers. Also I was able to put it together myself without any help from my husband - just remember to start putting the shelves/drawers in from the bottom up. Love the clean look!

Free-standing CredenzaWe have tons of Elfa throughout our house (and garage), but have never tried the free-standing components. After researching numerous solutions for a very specific size credenza behind my home-office desk, I discovered that Elfa free-standing components were the perfect answer! Easy to assemble, and very solid.

Great Purchase!I had seen the elfa Freestanding shelves online, but was concerned that they might not be very stable. I went to a Container Store to look at them in person, and was very satisfied that they are extremely stable!
If you are shopping online and are uncertain about the stability of elfa Freestanding, don't be! Go ahead and order them online, and you will be very happy with your purchase!

Elfa shelves are a great solutionElfa shelves are great. Kind of addicting... Once you get to know them it seems you find always a new place in your home that can use them to help you get organized.
About this specific piece, the stabilization kit, TCS offers it only in two sizes, 2" and 3". I have freestandings of both sizes at home and based on my experience, I think TCS should offer them in at least two other sizes, 1.5" and 2.5". The 1.5" would be great to make a more sturdy 3" wide freestanding with an extra support in the center (you should not store very heavy stuff in a 3" wide freestanding shelf, especially if using ventilated shelves), and the 2.5" would be good as an optional extra width.
It doesn't look like much but the difference between 2" and 3" can be significant. My 2" freestanding is in a place that could use half a foot more width and cannot fit a 3" wide freestanding, but I had to settle with the 2" width. Considering my freestanding has six shelves each, half a foot more width in all of those shelves would have added some welcome shelving area (although it would also make the ventilated shelves less sturdy).
Considering we can always cut the shelves in widths as needed, we just need more options of the stabilization kit to be able to have more possibilities for the freestanding. I know I can have all the possibilities I can imagine using the Easy Hang solution but in some situations I prefer the freestandings.

Desk PartsDefinitely necessary to stabilize my customized computer desk. A little difficult to manage with 1 person, better to have another person hold while cross bar installed. One end of my cross bar was bent so would not go in easily until I straightened it out.

Don't Forget TheseDefinitely needed for your freestanding system; not that the Store would let you get away without purchasing them, I'm sure. Easy enough to assemble.

Stabilization Bar - Weakest ComponentStabilization bar is weakest component of the (otherwise) exceptional freestanding system. When attaching bar to the freestanding uprights, be sure that it is perfectly centered. If misaligned, there is danger that the "ears" will deform with a hammer tap and be very difficult to insert.

Very easy to use and does exactly what it is advertised to do. However, the plastic top caps tend to pop off.

great purchasewith this kit the freestanding shelving unit is very sturdy!!
I have Elfa shelves that are 25" and 30". Can they be used for a freestanding solution Thanks
Asked by: dorph
I have 24", 25" and 30" Elfa solid shelves. I actually use the 24 & 25" ones in my freestanding solution but the 30" ones I can't use with the freestanding because the holes on the bottom of the shelves are not located in the right place to secure onto the elfa brackets with the wires that you attach to the solid shelves. I reserve my 30" solid shelves for use with the other Elfa solution that has a top track and hanging standards.
FYI: The shorter solid shelves I believe are a better solution because, as other reviewers have also stated, they don't bow under a lot of weight like the 30s do when there's a lot of books on them.

What if we cut the ventilated shelves? What size Stabilization Kit do I need?
If I choose to cut the 3' shelves to 29", what size Stabilization Kit do I need to get, the 3'? Or is cutting the ventilated shelves only meant for wall-mounted solutions?
Asked by: montREALady
You are correct. The freestanding solutions come in fixed widths of 18", 24", and 36" wide solutions. Cutting shelves to size would be for the wall-mounted solutions.

Space between feet with 2' kit
If I were to get the 21" feet and used the 2' stabilization kit, how much space exactly is between the feet? I have a box of storage that I'd like to leave on the floor between the feet but it looks like it'll be a tight fit based on my measurements.
Asked by: Su10
There are 23-1/2 inches between the feet.

What is the difference between the 2' and 3' stabilization kits?
Does it have to do with the height of the unit? or the width of the shelves?
Asked by: ReedyP
It has to do with the width of the shelves. Those widths are compatible with 2' or 3' wide ventilated shelves or decor shelves.
