4 insert shelves which holds 200lbs per shelf! (rather than 3 like others)
Years ago I bought an MDF, glass door pantry. Only recently weve been drinking distilled bottled water and then one of the bottles sprang a leak, the bottom of it got wet and the pantry began to sag. These gallon bottles were in the hallway and would fall over, get a little beat up and sometimes squished unbeknownst to us, etc. Fortunately, I got about 15 years of use out of the pantry but it was small (2/3s / 1/2 the size of the new one) and I could never really put bulk items in it. I was hesitant to put a storage cabinet in our hallway. Not much for the industrial look and not much room to put it in, but this had the best of what I wanted. Firstly, I was impressed by how much weight each shelf could hold / 200lbs. (My advantage tho is that my husband is a furniture installer for a living, so it took him initially about 1 1/2 hours to build. He recommends to ALWAYS read the directions (lol!) and set out all the parts first and account for every last one of them BEFORE putting them together!) Then I had to look at size / it was no bigger depth/wise than my other pantry! We dont have a lot of pass through space, living in a small apt, and the 15.75 depth was the same depth as the old one / perfect! The best part about that (for an apt dweller) is that it went wider (under 32 and HIGHER which usually the only other place to gain space / almost 71 inches. AND I gained the top of the unit as well so it could really be considered a 6th shelf. I love the white body with the silver doors / looks modern but nice! It keeps ALL of my distilled waters / we get 8 gallons and put them on the bottom shelf. It also accommodates two bulk items of 12ct TP and 6ct lg paper towels, plus a large paper totebag of paper/tote bags on the shelf above that. LOTS of canned goods, baking supplies, at least 20 cans of tuna, large protein containers, several boxes of protein bars, on the next two shelves up. On the top shelf we put our large 20oz+ thermoses, large lunchpails, tealights/holders/warmers, lightsbulbs, with plenty of room to spare. I was SO HAPPY with how much this held / no more tripping over stuff in the hallway! After living with it for a while, I was thrilled and so was my family. We keep the doors shut and can keep our hallway neat and clean and not be embarrassed when we have guests. So I bought 2 more for the storage of my new business shipping supplies and inventory (which is at another location). Im glad I took the time to get EXACTLY what we needed. Its so nice when you get what you pay for! Theyre awesome. Is that recommendation enough?
