Yes, please show how you set this shelving unit up. Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas! Glad I discovered you!

1000x's over, I agree for showing us how you seperated this unit. I have 4 of these and the corner shelves unit. I never thought to separate them like you did here. Fabulous idea. I used painted white mdf shelf boards from Lowes and now half are craft books, music cds and audio books and the rest are craft storage. Thanks for filming these awesome ideas. I got my shelves from Sam's Club at Christmas time.

I know this is older, but this is a COOL idea to convert the five-shelf units into a workspace. I’m thinking about setting up a sewing area in my new home, and this will be PERFECT to set up a sewing desk with additional shelving for things that need to be accessed. You are correct - those wire shelves are SO strong! I use these for my dumbbells and kettlebells, and they are STRONG.

I'm so addicted to your channel. This is one of the reason! I just bought one from Amazon.

I love them!!!!! I know the prices have shot up, hoping they go down again soon.

I would love to see the tutorial on putting these together, I'm a visual person and like to see things

This is a fantastic idea! I split the same racks into 2 and put the top half of one on top of my craft desk. With just 2 shelves the top stores my 12x12 paper on top in a foam core and cardboard divider i made for it, and the next shelf down is shallow so i can store skinny crafting things (embossing powders, paper trimmers ect.) on the edges i use different length hooks from an old hanging pot rack and just general S hooks on these i store rolls of foam tape, db sided adhesive rolls and tools i reach for often.

I KNEW it!!!! I love these shelves. I have about 9 units in various sizes. I couldn’t decide on a TV stand so we bought - small 3 shelf for the bedroom and a 5 shelf for the LR. The rest are used as typical storage shelves. They’re sturdy versatile shelves. I thought I was being ghetto for having it in the LR. People seem to like it ok. I was going to dress it up a bit like Katherine in Do It On A Dime but I found I didn’t have the patience to do the shelves so I just scraped that idea. I told my mom that I knew there was a way that these shelves could be manipulated into something more but I just couldn’t figure it out. I’m not a creative person. Thank you so much for this. I, personally would love to see more videos or tutorials on how to do various versions with these shelves. It would be great for small living spaces and it would be cost affective too.

Thanks for showing the horizontal layout using these wire shelves. I have one of these wire shelves for my sewing fabrics. I use the clear, under the bed size, storage bins and I set up my shelves to hold 2 bins stacked. I can also slide another bin beneath the bottom shelf. I separate my fabrics according to colors in my bins. I am a bit of a semi organized sewing hoarder. I enjoy your organizational videos. Keep them coming.

YES!❤️ You are absolutely right❤️ - these are the best shelves on the market! We bought ours about 23 years ago from Costco and they were around $70 but so well worth the money! We have one in the laundry room to put clean baskets of laundry! Also when my kids were little I would put smaller bins of their clothes with their names on the front of their bin then they could carry them to their rooms and put them away! 😂 We also created a hanging section for shirts! The other unit we use in the garage and it is completely full! They are so sturdy and so strong! Love your ideas for using them!❤️ Thanks!🥰😘

I absolutely love this! Our basement recently flooded along with my monster craftroom. I had to box everything up and it’s sat in my dining and room! I brought my shelving up and things are now stored so much better and I got my dining room and 3/4 of my very large , rectangular living room back! I’ll be buying another unit to make this “table like” unto as well! Thank you for all that you teach us! ❤️

Love these shelves - and this configuration gives you even MORE storage space!

I used them in my craft room & loved them. They were set up on perimeter of 2 walls & I even had 1 set up dividing my work table into 4 zones. My most used items were stored on the shelves. No matter what station you were working at, everything was within reach. Moved & waiting to set up when I find my new forever home. Will do the same setup. Worked great. I miss it. Everything is in storage for now.

My hubby surprised me and combined 2 shelving units for my craft room when I was at work! The shelves are staggered, but I like asymmetry. The cool thing is we are using 3 shelving units from our garage instead of buying new shelving to fit the space. We couldn’t use them side by side in my open closet, so he combined them to fit the space. I’d take a picture but I’m in the midst of purging and organizing my craft room. It’s chaos! Plus I’m thinking of buying wire baskets, S hooks, etc to add more options to my unit. I’ll try to remember to post a pic of the shelving when I’m done.

I have one in the garage I might use in my craft room / kids room and add on to it

THese shelves are amazing, although I prefer 48 by 18 shelf size. For kitchen jars and stuff it is much better to have liners, that are sold on amazon, so things won't get stuck between wires. If person wants to use part of it as a desk, hard liner is needed. I love that there are so many additions possible, hooks (from daiso!), baskets, extra little shelves. I used longer daiso hooks to hold dowel with curtain on it. I even have a mini fridge on one! :)

Purchase wire shelves from Sam's Club. I am a short woman, so I have not made the shelves full height. I purchase a second set of wheels, so that I can move them to clean. I like how you joined the shelves together for a longer counter. Would love to see move different configurations. Thanks.

Wow great ideas! I love these shelves but have only used them in the standard way. Love these other ideas! Would love to see the build out of the taller shelves ☺️💕

Inspired! I would never have thought to configure it other than what was pictured on the box. Wonderful sugestion.

Absolutely correct. We have them in our storage building. They are easy to put together and durable. Got them at Lowe's and northern tool.

Love this idea - these shelves are so versatile!

This is a really interesting way to do this. I totally get the way you explained having shelves to avoid stacking containers and it being difficult to have to access the one on the bottom. I'm a craft hoarder and I had this realization years ago when trying to figure out the best way to store things. I recently moved to an apartment with an amazing back yard. It's not huge but it has a 6 ft privacy fence and room to put shelves. I got the $40 plastic shelves from home depot because the space between the shelves is the right size for the bins I bought to store items. They aren't all created equal. The ones from Walmart have less space in between shelves and I'm glad I realized that before buying them. They also have a similar set to HD at harbor freight which is $40 as well. I got one there too using a 20% off coupon. I'm trying to figure out if I can find pvc pipe in the right diameter to make the shelves further apart for taller bins. I looked into the metal shelves but my concern is they might rust being out in the elements. It's really a complicated process trying to figure out the best storage solutions. It's very kind of you to share your knowledge. Thanks!

@@TheCraftyOrganizer im obsessive when deciding the best options and i think everything through quite thoroughly and then decide which option works best for me. i can live with them falling apart in 5-10 years, but I don't want to have to deal with the possible rust stains left behind in the surrounding area (especially since im a renter), or have to try to cover them up on the rack with spray paint or a sealer every time they appear. It really just depends on personal preference.

Would love to see more. thanks for offering. So glad I found your channel.

What a wonderful idea! We have a camp kitchen that has multiple conversations to work similar to this with vertical space for hanging things.

Hi Noreen, We have an extra bedroom that we made into our “closet room“ . we have Decluttery so many clothes that one of the garment racks from target is available for storage.

You’re not gonna believe this, but they are not the same depth. I’m trying to figure out how to bend the poles so they fit the smaller shelves so I can add 2 shelves from Home Depot to the former garment rack. I want to put earthquake food storage on the shelves. Thanks for your ideas.

I have a large plastic type cutting board we put over one sink to do prep on. I have three metal baskets (Better Homes And Garden...Wal-Mart find.) I have been wanting off floor. For root veggies.
