Love my bookshelvesWe considered having built-ins added to our new home, but decided to go with Elfa Decor instead because it was cheaper but still stylish and would complement our eclectic mix of furniture. We are very happy with the result.
I'm nervous about the weight of the books. I couldn't find any firm answers on weight limits. We were able to screw the top track into a few studs, so this should add to the shelves' stability. So far, they seem very sturdy (we've had them up about 3 weeks).
We are so happy with the look and functionality that we are already planning our next Elfa project--office shelving.

Show StopperI got my inspiration from the store display, and so I came back within my measurements for my bedroom wall. The end result, as you can see, is amazing:) I’m really happy with how the different depth of the shelves worked out for my specific needs.

There was a glitch but it was rectified right awayWe bought an Elfa closet system in Birch for our Master closet and both of these shelves would not fit in the track. We came to find out that the rubber pieces that connected to the shelves were both for the right side! I called right away and immediately received 2 new shelves which had the right and the left side rubber pieces and it clicked in right away. It arrived much faster than I expected. Other than this glitch, our closet looks amazing and we're so happy with our purchase.

Best Modern Elfa Decor ShelvesI love these shelves! They are modern, lightweight, and easy to install. I used them for my home office. They are expensive but worth every penny. I would recommend to anyone who prefers a modern look. I will buy these again for my living room when I design my freestanding elfa decor shelf system.

Great match with Gladiator workbench (as a desk)I used these shelves in my home office to get things off the desktop that make it cluttered. I was able put the printer, modem and router on the shelves I used the Gladiator Silver Tread 6' Solid Hardwood Workbench (SKU 10076382) as a desk for a more industrial look. The workbench is not an exact match, but coordinates very well.

An Organized Job Well DoneLived in our new home for 6 months before deciding exactly what we needed in the way of organized closets. Container Store & their designers were terrific! Master closet now has almost double the usable space & our guest room closet has the perfect mix of shelves, hanging & baskets...just hope company doesn't decide to stay too long! Installers were quick, knowledgeable, tidy & professional...sorry I don't have more closets to organize. Thanks much CS!

Very nice but priceyI like that these shelves are attractive and easy to install, and they're pretty light so it makes it even easier to install them yourself. I found that the left side of the shelf was a bit harder to snap into place than the right side, but I'm not sure if that's really the case or just because I'm a righty.
If I could change one thing about these shelves it would be their price point. I wish they were more affordable, as doing a whole unit with them gets pricey.

Times have changedThis is my second full wall system and I was disappointed to find that the shelves have become slightly cheap. The bracket system on the side is now made of plastic and doesn't snap into the brackets easily or with the satisfactory snap like the old ones.

Light, easy to install, and looks greatIt took me less than an hour to install the walnut decor shelves, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. They look great! I worried at first about the cost, but I appreciate that these are lighter and easier to work with than the melamine shelves. And if you plan to move around a lot, investing in a lighter shelving and storage options makes sense!

Moving on up!I replaced my microwave cart & moved the microwave up to my new Elfa shelving on the wall. I have a small kitchen with very little counter space & very few cabinets so I purchased these shelves for my cookbooks, canisters, & microwave. I couldn't be happier with it. I have pets & I used to have to move the microwave cart every time I sweep my floor but not anymore! I think I have an Elfa addiction!

Nice except mounting schemeThese shelves are very well fabricated and in most respects are very nice. However the mounting scheme is the worst in any Elfa product. The latching scheme consists of about eight tiny plastic thin fitting tabs. Any jar to the shelving result in these tabs lifting off the mounting brackets. It all comes tumbling down. Having had these expensive shelves for two years I have finally decided to put on a J channel extrusion to redesign the mounting scheme. I am also making a holddown scheme as this is a major source of the problem. This is tedious and a pain but I am not throwing out $360 worth of shelves.

Beautiful Shelving!I bought a custom designed shelf and drawer unit using this line. They are simply beautiful. The shelves are made of fine hardwood with a tasteful finish and the drawers glide smoothly. If you're wanting a smart look yet practical storage unit, you will love these. By the way, it was pleasure to work with the Container Store. Their designers helped me achieve the best design for my space.

Beautiful Shelving SystemI used the freestanding Elfa system to build an entertainment center, bookcase, and printer storage. To cut costs, I used the regular shelves for the bulk of the project. I'd love to swap them out for these decor shelves over time, though, because the decor shelves are just so much nicer looking overall.
I assembled the entire system in less than an hour by myself.
I especially like the 83" brackets. I live in a small space with high ceilings, so utilizing vertical space is a must.

Walnut and Platinum... Today's contemporary look.The Decor Shelf is essential to my Elfa system.
Its wooden appeal and walnut color bring elegance and style to my dresser unit. Its large size creates a wide and deep space to hold more than you think it can. Once set properly on the shelf bracket, it holds a good deal of weight too.

Beautiful and functionalI love my Elfa wall shelving! I was finally able to unpack all of my books (with room to spare for future growth). I had it installed due to the length (9') and with the sale price. The installer was quick (couple of hours) and cleaned up after himself. The only negative is I would recommend a 12" shelf max above a desk rather than the 16" (for head clearance). I would also love to see some kind of lighting system designed to go with this. I jerry rigged an LED tape light around the back of the pin board.
Can this shelf be placed on a slider to pull out and push back in? If so, what else do I need to purchase?

Yes, there are Decor gliding shelves; not sure why someone answered this as "no".

Where are the 24" shelves?
I purchased an elfa system a few years back, and have 24" wide shelves. I want to expand it by adding on shelves, but I can't find them on the website. Have they been phased out? :( What options do I have?
Asked by: EmilyPT
On Elfa's website FAQs, I see: Are the components of my Classic storage that I bought 10 years ago compatible with the ones you offer today?
And the answer is:
Absolutely – this is part of the elfa concept; you can always trust previous elfa components to fit perfectly with newer collections and products.
The decision to not offer 24" shelves runs counter to the elfa concept, and is frustrating to those who have made a sizable investent over the years in this system.

Do these shelves require screws or the connector to attach to the brackets?
It doesn't say or show how the Elfa solid shelves are attached to the brackets. Do they just lay on top or do they require screws or the connectors?
Screws I saw in one picture:

Are these appropriate for a garage?
Are these shelves appropriate for use in a garage? Or are they "too fancy" for such use? (Or too delicate, as in the surface easily scratches?) I'm in process of planning out a work space in the garage that will be dedicated primarily to craft-type projects. Thank you!
Asked by: NurseBex
Our elfa decor Shelves are not recommended for an environment that is not climate controlled. Better choices for use in such an area would be our utility Work surfaces or our Melamine Solid Shelves (shown below).

Desk legs with shelves?
Can the elfa desk legs be used with the elfa decor shelves? The desktop size will not fit my space so prefer to use the 20" x 3' shelf if possible.
Asked by: dks6527
No, only the Melamine Desktops work with the desk legs. You could use the Decor Desktop with mounted or freestanding standards. Contact one of our design experts to create your perfect solution by calling 1-888-CONTAIN (266-8246) or using our live chat.

Elfa decor shelves--which brackets?
Do the decor shelves use the solid shelf or ventilated shelf brackets? The site only lists a "decor" bracket for the 20" which is why I have this question.

Our elfa Decor Shelves utilize the Ventilated Shelf Brackets.
