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.

Beautiful, Functional and Space SavingI recently purchased the decor shelves and desktop to build a desk set up in my home office. I was able to reuse some leftover standards and shelf brackets from another project and integrate the desk shelves with some existing bookshelves and a filing cabinet. The end result was spectacular! I have so much room to store office things. I love the versatility of Elfa and the ease to assemble something so polished looking,

Elfa Decor ShelvingMy husband and I possess a lot of books, magazines, journals, and maps. At our last home, we had bookcases built, but when we moved, we couldn't take the shelves with us. Having used Elfa in my laundry and a pool closet, I knew I didn't want the wire mesh shelves, so I kept waiting and waiting.
Voila! Elfa came out with the Decor shelves, and that is perfect for transforming a room into an office!
We purchased the 16" w x 17"d x 1.25"h shelving. Our feature wall has 82"w x 97"h of working space. My husband desperately needed filing storage to accommodate legal size file folders and accordion folders, so I bought three 7-tier Drawer systems, put them on casters, turned them sideways, and built the bookcases around the filing systems. The depth of the shelves and the sideways depth of the filing drawers compliment one another perfectly!
I bought 12 shelves, but after building the shelving from the bottom up, I should have purchased 15 shelves. (I will be adding another row!) I have the space I thought I might have at the far right, and I will be putting two stacked Narrow Cabinet Bath Drawers there.
The customer service was excellent! Mary Beth and her team worked really hard to work with such an odd space. This is my fourth Elfa shelving system, and I will continue to purchase The Container Store products because of their design ingenuity and superior customer service.

The best shelvesWhen I shopped for these shelves, I knew I liked them. Once they were installed, I loved them. They are simple, unobtrusive and very well-made. And easy to adjust, move, reconfigure. I couldn't be happier. The staff at the store were cheerful and very knowledgeable, and the installer was as well. Overall, a great purchase.

Elfa systems are great qualityThis is my third Elfa purchase for complete walk-in closet, smaller closet and pantry. Love the systems and the choice of finishes. It is easy to install. Great design service at the store. I have recommended this already several times to friends and clients), I am in real estate.
Can this shelf be placed on a slider to pull out and push back in? If so, what else do I need to purchase?

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.

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!

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).

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.

How much weight can the different decor shelves bear?
Asked by: Anonymous151
When installed properly (into studs where possible and using our wall anchors where studs aren't present), our elfa solutions can support up to 75 pounds per linear foot.
We recommend having one of our designers create a design for you to ensure you have all the components you need for an elfa solution.
