The analysis
250 kg is the number that sets this apart. Most shelving at this price gives you 5 to 10 kg a shelf; this takes tins, tools, a microwave, crates of bottles.
The footprint is 54 by 29 cm and it stands 160 cm tall over six tiers. Every shelf moves in 2.5 cm steps, which on a wire system means you set the gaps to what you are storing rather than the other way round.
It is powder-coated carbon steel, so unlike particleboard it belongs in a utility room, a garage or a bathroom without swelling at the edges.
The catch is the wire itself. Anything small or soft-bottomed tips through the gaps, so you will want liners or boxes. And it looks like what it is: industrial shelving, not furniture.
In favour
- 250 kg of total load
- Six tiers, each adjustable in 2.5 cm steps
- Powder-coated steel: it takes a damp room
- 29 cm deep and 160 cm tall
Against
- Wire shelves: small items need a liner or they tip through
- An industrial look that does not suit every room
- Needs assembling, and it is heavy to move once built
Best for: A pantry, utility room or garage where the shelves have to carry real weight.
