When we moved in, we were not happy with the shelving in the pantry. Putting something just slightly too heavy on one end of a shelf would cause the shelf to seesaw and flip things sitting on the other end up into the air and/or onto the floor. In addition, there was no way to ensure that an earthquake would not crash everything onto the floor. So after some research, we bought a bunch of stuff from Shelving.com. The new shelves, while technically 2 inches deeper, have the advantage of not wasting space as, unlike the old shelves, they sit flush with the walls. They also keep things safe thanks to very sturdy guard rails you can add to them.
While this is a small project compared to many other things we’ve tackled here, it makes us very happy nonetheless. And for those that wonder, yes, I use a small stepstool to reach things on the upper shelf.
Here’s a short movie that Agent Smith shot right after he finished installing things. (Once he recovers from the current plague that has infected his body, we’ll bolt the new shelves to the walls.)
