Post ExtendersThese Posts are best quality. I had bought another brand as well as having another InterMetro unit from Cntr. Stre.. Did not realize that I was trying to extend other brands posts (InterMetro posts can be extended easily. You have to buy extenders from InterMetro as currently Ctr. Stre. does not carry item. Extenders were not fitting tightly in other wire shelf unit, so use Locktite Professional (#8) glue to glue in post extenders and it workd (let dry for 24 hrs)!
Buy Inter Metro - they are aexpandeble later as others are not!

Crummy PaintI got these in silver. They come as 4 bundled together. Didn't notice until I got them home that there was a large dark mark on one of them, as if from rubbing against something. On another one, on the bottom, the paint looked like it was coming off. Structurally, they seem like they would hold up. But I'm giving a 2 because of the hassle of getting an entire set of these things, shelves and casters home and now I have to take it back to exchange it? I think all of it will be returned.

Not worthy of five starsThe one thing that really bothers me about the Intermetro posts is that the posts are not etched with marking numbers as a guide. When setting up an Intermetro shelving system, you should really use a tape measure so that each corner of the shelf is even otherwise you will end up with a lopsided shelf. How hard would it be for Intermetro to etch some numbers into each post? If you plan to place the posts on a delicate surface, I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a set of Intermetro protective feet. The metal feet alone can be damaging to a fragile surface. Oh, if you need the posts cut down to size for any reason, The Container Store will do so at no cost. It's a nice little thing they do.

InterMetro post design changeThe InterMetro post is a hollow steel tube with grooves spaced an inch apart to hold the shelves. It is coated with durable epoxy (or chrome plated).
In an earlier purchase several years ago, the posts had evenly spaced grooves. Now, there is an extra groove every 8 inches. This is a nuisance if you are trying to set the shelf to a height where it overlaps this extra groove.

You can get functional...When you look for storage you generally have to choose pretty or functional. The container store is not cheap but for a 36" wide x 14" deep set of adjustable height shelves you'll get what you need.
Yes, they should come in stainless and silver, not black, white and silver. Yes, you'd prefer them to be less expensive. And yes you'd like them to have 14" under shelf baskets. But if you need something to make a nook functional, this setup works.
1/8" or even 1/4" expanded hole plate might be better than 1/2" gap wire, but just put 1/8" lexan on top if you need it to be shelfy.

Satisfied (but a little room for improvement)I bought the InterMetro Posts, 3 shelves & 4 rolling casters to set-up a shelving unit to contain my computer, UPS, a sub-woofer, cable modem, firewall and other misc. computer equipment.
Everything would have been perfect if the poles had been 1 little inch taller, but even without that inch, it's great having the bigger pieces off the floor and easy to clean/dust around. The open shelving makes it so much easier to run the wires and connect the bits & pieces to each other.
Seems like a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway: I'd like to have the 34-1/2" posts cut down to 24" lengths, will I also get the remaining 10-1/2" pieces?
Asked by: DTLasVegas
We can cut InterMetro Posts in 1" increments. You will not receive the remaining cut length of your purchase. Thank you for your question.

What is the diameter of these posts? I’d like to know if I can buy these to use with another brand of similar shelving that I already have with 1” diameter posts. Thanks!
Asked by: EddC
Our InterMetro® Posts are 1" in diameter. We do not recommend using with other brands. Thank you!

Do the Posts come with "shelf sleeves," do they come with shelves or do you buy them separately?
Asked by: cvanv
The Shelf Sleeves come with the Shelves, not the Posts.
Replacement Shelf Sleeves can be purchased here:

I currently have a shorter hight post that I used in my previous apartment and just moved and now need my shelves to be taller. Is there a way to screw 2 posts together to make them taller?

Are heights up to 86" available through special order?
I'm trying to find Intermetro shelving posts 7-feet in length in order to maximize the space where the shelf will go. I've read that extenders are not available for this product.
Asked by: DSIP
A 74-1/2" height is the largest option we have available in our InterMetro Posts. Special orders are not available.
