Neat Clean Looking and Easy To InstallWe've owned Elfa storage products for years and when we moved to a condo we had to leave our storage system behind. Bought the basket as part of a small garage storage area to get some started there. All the pieces were easy to install, very well made, and look great in the garage.
I've since bought a larger system for the garage and complete new shelving for my personal closet.
Love it and don't see anything readily available of this quality and appearance.

Greatest Pantry - What a Dream!My pantry closet was a disaster. It had few shelves and that meant that cans, boxes of food, storage and serving items were piled on top of each other. A disaster when trying to find things. I had the Container store replace the shelving in my pantry with Elfa open shelves and shelf baskets. What a difference! I can now easily access everything; everything has a place; and the closet now holds more than it did previously, including paper products that were previously stored elsewhere. I still smile each time I open the door! Thank you for the excellent system, the great installer, and your design work!

Very cool with the dividersInstalled these in master closet with lower rod beneath it. You can get the dividers to create compartments for those smaller items that don't stack well. They even have dividers with walnut accents to match the elfa decor shelf trim. See photo.

Perfect SolutionI bought this basket to organize socks & underwear in a walk in closet.
Originally I designed this closet area for hanging, but with a simple purchase and a few minutes I changed hanging into divided storage.
I love the elfa system.

Lots of OptionsI have been an Elfa fan for several years but this is the first time I have purchased the shelf basket. I found many uses for it, and like the 'divider' (and end caps) options of clear plastic or decor. I purchased three of these baskets and each serves a different purpose: 1) small clear boxes containing jewelry sets; 2) shoes - specifically flip-flops; 3) desk stuff such as notecards and envelopes, small boxes, wallets. Additionally they were easy to install.

Cannot live without!The Shelf Baskets are genius! We built a pantry closet under the stairs in our tiny (yet lovable) town home. We are super tight on space so we need to be creative. These baskets were a lifesaver. They hold so much more than a flat shelf would since you're not worried about things falling off the front or the back or the sides. I especially like that you can divide up your shelf easily. I am an organizational freak and this shelf is great. I also generally recommend the Elfa System and Container Store. The best is knowing that an employee is there to help you figure out exactly what you need and customize this seemingly stock system to fit your exact space and organizational needs. THANKS CONTAINER STORE!!!!!

Unconventional UseI used the 2' long platinum shelf basket as a way to store cutting boards under our upper cabinets in the kitchen because they wouldn't fit anywhere else. The only complaint I have, and it's not even about the product itself, is that the Container Store doesn't have any sort of fastener that would be helpful. We ended up rigging something together which is okay unless someone looks at it directly from below.

The Miracle Of The Wire Freezer BasketThe wire freezer baskets #10009010 saved me from an irate Mom who hates clutter, but most importantly, from the prospect of eating out of date or frost bitten food. My freezer was totally unorganized and the food rarely rotated for food safety and freshness, Items often would fall onto the floor upon opening the door. After installing the freezer baskets, i can find everything i need at a glance. All of the items are secure and i can easily see my inventory. The oldest frozen food is now eaten first saving me a lot of money by not having to throw out and replace what was freezer burned. The baskets were inexpensive, durable, and completely flexible for all types of frozen foods. Everything is now organized and safe. It is a miracle for the freezer!

Unexpected hit!When my closet designer suggested I added a shelf basket in place of a regular shelf (above some drawers), I was not very excited. I went along with it because it was an inexpensive piece and I knew I could swap it. But I couldn't imagine what I'd use it for...
I'm now in the process of changing all the shelving across my lower hang to shelf baskets. They are SO nice! What would normally be wasted space between upper and lower hang/drawers/shoe racks now stores my belts, clutches/wristlets, ball caps, wraps and scarves. I even have a small section for my dog's sweaters.
These baskets aren't as exciting as my drawers or gliding shoe storage. But in terms of making good use of dead space, they are the the smartest thing I (well, my designer) did.

Great addition to Elfa configurationsI love these little baskets. The are nice and shallow so everything is easy to see. We used them for clothes, socks and undies in my kids closets. I like that they can be divided into any size compartments. It would be even better if they had sides without adding a divider to create a side.

eliminate the need for dressersWe live in a townhouse, so the space in my boys' bedroom is limited. When I organized their closet with the Elfa system I installed these shelf baskets instead of standard shelfs. These shelf baskets allowed me to remove their dresser from their room, which gave them more play space.

Useful alternative to shelvesI found the shelf basket useful for items that are rolled up (like rugs) or items that tend to roll (like baseballs and basketballs)!
Yes. It follows the same guidelines as the regular ventilated shelf.
