Fantastic ShelvesThese shelves are very sturdy and fit very tightly onto the hanging standards. They are also very adjustable, so can be changed and adjusted. TCS will cut them to your measurements. One tip is to make sure that they file the end they cut, so that it doesn't scratch you or the wall. The clothes rods also hang very securely from the shelf.

Excellent for cleaning suppliesWe have had problems with insufficient storage in our home. The solution proved to be installing elfa shelving in some rooms and closets. For example, we modified our 2 hallway closets to store cleaning supplies and pantry overflow, respectively. I used a staggered form of shelving by installing an extra hang standard and 3 different widths of ventilated shelving. This method greatly enhanced the visibility of items by using a 20" for the bottom shelf, with a 16" above that, with a 12" above that. Our cleaning supplies and extra kitchen (mostly beverages) are now neatly arranged in an 'easy to see' form. The biggest hardship was getting the top track installed in the limited space of the closet. Once the tracks are in place, the rest of the installation goes extremely smoothly. The shelves are very sturdy and quite capable of storing the juices we buy when on sale. Elfa has proved to be the main solution to our storage needs.

More Space!I’ve now had seven or eight wall shelving units installed in two separate homes! Love the extra storage space the shelves give. I just had wall shelves put in my sewing/craft room and haven’t filled them up yet. It’s better to have too much space than not enough!

What an amazing differenceI have a work area off my kitchen that only had the counter and one wooden shelf high up-- Not the best use of space. I measured the area and decided that the Elfa system was the way to remedy the situation. I installed 3 rows of shelves and, of course, it needed to have that finished look, so I added white fascia. I moved the wooden shelf to under the counter top and below it I have a storage container and a recycle bin. I am SO excited about this new work area.
We have used Elfa in our pantry, and our closets not only in this house, but our last one. IT IS THE BEST THING EVER!!

Awesome Closet Make-over!My closet was a nice size for a walk-in, but the shelving was old wood and the layout was inefficient. After deconstructing, painting, putting new carpeting on the floor and re-designing the layout, using Elfa Ventilated Wire Shelves, my closet became my favorite place in my condo! I recently sold that home (that Master bedroom closet was a huge seller) and now plan to use a similar design in a few of my new home's closets. I didn't remember to take a "before" pic, but here are "after" pics. Thanks, Container Store & Elfa!

Shelves in varied widths are greatLove the design of our son's new closet. A 12 inch shelf at top and a 16 inch shelf provide tremendous options in lieu of the old fixed shelf that was just too deep to be functional. My 10 year old loves his new closet and all of our closets and kitchen pantry are Elfa.

Bedroom closetsPurchased the elfa ventilated shelving to use in our bedroom closets. They are tiny 1950's closets that just weren't suiting our needs in the best way. Purchased elfa and I am so glad I did. We installed ourselves and had no issues. Shelves were easy to put up and have been great so far. Will buy again for the other bedroom.

Laundry BeautifulElfa wire ventilated shelving is an amazing tool for organization. Can be cut to custom fit any size and allows for ventilation and easy view of what is on shelf. We combined platinum wire shelving with white fascia trim and solid white shelves, hanging laundry baskets and krinkle decorative storage. The laundry looks sleek, modern, clean yet is extremely efficient and customized to our needs.

Elfa ventilated shelving is high quality and lastsI have been purchasing Elfa shelving since the early 2000s.
It is one of the best products a homeowner can buy. You install it once and you will never have to redo your closets again. I have used Elfa ventilated shelving in my closets, my utility room, and my shed. I only have one more closet to redo. Easy to install--I design my own closets and do my own installation. I am a 64 year old woman. This shelving does not get sticky and it will support a tremendous amount of weight if you follow the installation instructions. All components are designed to last. LOVE Elfa!

New Laundry Room!I am a huge fan of the ELFA system. This past weekend I tackled my laundry room (while my husband was out of town! Girl Power!) and am so happy with the results. I was able to more than triple my storage space by using the ELFA system and your helpful designers!

Elfa closet systems.. just the best.. for 34 yearsI have been using Elfa products a long time. I bought my first basket systems in the early 80's and never looked back. I always hated dressers and the basket system worked wonders.. I used it in my kids rooms as they grew up as well as the master bedroom, basement and garage.. Now I am living in a new home in another state and my original Elfa baskets are STILL in use.. the old frames and baskets are in storage areas and work great while newer frames and mesh baskets are in our master bedroom and guest room closets.. The rest of the closets are done with the Elfa shelving. I love their clean stream lined look and their endless flexibility.. they have been going strong for 34 years now and I see no end in sight!

Fabulous ProductBuilt a new home and told builder not to put any shelving in any closets. We customized pantry and all 7 closets. Totally maximized space with Elfa. Just now doing our garage. People who see our closets go "wow!" Easily changeable. When I show clients homes I often comment on how much more space they could have if using Elfa.

Fantastic organizationOnce these shelves are in the brackets they are super easy to move around. I've already reconfigured my laundry room unit twice in 6 months based on changing needs.
I have a super tiny laundry room so I included a track for behind the door storage and even managed to get one of these shelves over the door. Much more storage that way and the ventilated shelving doesn't block any light. Fantastic!

LengthNote that the 2 foot shelves are really 24" long, but the 3 foot shelves are actually 35.5". This was a good thing for us because our space is very tight. It would be helpful if the exact measurements for everything were listed on the website.

Very Good Sheving but.......Purchased this "system" in order to increase the storage area in a very small laundry room. The design is very good and the flexibility which the components offer is very helpful. The "customization" of the shelf lengths however leaves much to be desired because whatever tool is used to cut down the length of the shelves leaves very rough edges and in fact makes using the finishing bracket covers very difficult if not impossible to install. So I would recommend only using the standard length shelves in order to avoid these problems.

ELFA System Is The BestI have a older house with small closets and I need to use every inch of it. I tried three other closet organizer systems before I saw elfa system at my friends house. I used elfa in all my closets and in my garage. I like Elfa because ones you put it together it becomes one solid peace. It doesn't swing or move like other systems. Also there is way more available options that other systems offers. What's also important for me is that you could re-arrange it. I already re-arrange on of our closets from a guest closet to to men closet, and finally to kids closet. I recommend elfa to every one. Couple of my friends also got it after they saw my closets.

For flowers too!Ventilated shelving provides great air circulation and rust is not an issue. Highly configurable and expandable.
Most of the Orchids on the top shelf have dropped their blooms. The bottom shelf is for African Violets.
Do you have 12" deep elfa ventilated shelves longer then 4 feet? I am looking for 59".
Asked by: g123
No, you would need to use a 24" combined with a 36" cut to 35".

Very close to the top, but if they are up against your ceiling, you would have a shelf that is only a few inches from it.

If you are combining wired shelves to span a longer distance, do you need a shelf bracket on each side of each shelf? Or can 2 shelve share a bracket?
Asked by: NikNak
Shelves can share a bracket. In the photo below, the top three shelves all share their middle brackets. I used two 3' shelves to make one 6' shelf for the top three.

Answered by: playroom

Is the depth of the shelf (ie: 12" / 16") the actual measurement of the shelf, or it is the distance off the wall once installed on the brackets?
Asked by: rktect
It is the actual depth of the shelf itself. The shelves will stick out approximately 1 3/4" once they are installed the brackets.

Do these shelves get sticky?
The old wire shelves that were in the house when we bought it were always sticky no matter what I used to clean them. Do these shelves have that problem?
School supply list shopped for - check. Registration forms all filled out - check. Shoes they HAD to have and perfect backpack purchased - check. The list is long for back to school, and soon all of those supplies, shoes, schoolwork and after school gear will be excitedly dropped at your doorstep as your kids whiz back home.
