Questions & Answers

What is the maximum weight it can support? Would you kindly tell me what would be a good way for me to store ?

It will be the way you mount the shelf that will cause the problem. You can probably use anchors in sheetrock without having to worry about pulling it away from the wall with too You can probably hang the screen on studs or a well-mounted wood backing if it is well mounted. Besides placing small appliances on the shelf, I also use S hooks to hold the utensils.

Is there anyone who has tried this (pic without items on top)? Unless the first picture is upside down, you could install it this way, giving you two design options. ?

There is a problem with the picture. The curved ends of the shelf should face down rather than up when it is hung. In the picture, it looks like the shelf will pull out and down. If you attach it as shown, then the weight of your items will pull out and down on the shelf. You will need to secure it well to the wall in order to prevent it from falling. There is one way in which structurally it is more effective

Would you mind telling me how much space you need behind the washer/dryer to fit this? Do you know how it attaches?

My washer and dryer are located right next to it, so I installed it above them. I would say the shelf is half as far out as the bottom one, so it's up there. Despite its relatively small size, it has a lot of power On my upper shelf, I have a large container of liquid laundry detergent with a spigot along with a few other lighter items.

Will it be possible to place two of the 18" shelves right next to each other and have a total width of less than 36"? Would I need to leave a little room between them?

Several of these shelves can be hung together to create a true 36-inch shelf. If any extra width is required, I imagine it would not be more than 1/4 inch.

Exactly what the laundry room needs! It was easy for me to hang them by myself, since I was the only person

Organize your closet with this shelf from ClosetMaid
5/5

There was a need for another shelf in our laundry room and this one met the need perfectly. I have no complaints about There is only one complaint I have I didn't know how much it was supposed to cost, because the vendor simply ordered it from Walmart. com and sent it to me. I would have been able to buy it for less than $14 if I'd known the vendor doubled the price. A law should be in place to prohibit this. As a customer, I find it disappointing that Amazon bailed out a vendor like this. The products I buy from ZDeals in the future will be different from those I buy now.

An extra laundry room shelf would be ideal for this
5/5

An excellent shelf with a wide range of uses. As there is a small rail you simply go through to attach the screws, it is easy to put up. To make it stronger, even though plastic anchors come with it, I put toggle bolts in instead. It took only five minutes to complete.

I'm very pleased with the size and the performance! That's pretty tough! About half my life has passed since I was in high school
5/5

Using a small level, I mounted this shelf on my closet wall myself without any trouble. Although I wasn't expecting to hit studs on both sides, I was surprised that I did! In spite of the fact that they were meant to go into drywall anchors, the screws that came with the shelf were not quite long enough to reach the studs. There were some wood screws lying around, so I used them. The team did a fantastic This is a 5 star product!.

A 23-inch wide shelf back, the part you screw to the wall, is 23 inches wide
4/5

It is important to keep in mind that the shelves' side bars are 24 inches apart. I was expecting to get a measurement of 24 inches from one outer bar to the next, but it's not what I got. A 24 inch space separates the studs in my laundry room, and 23 inches separate the back of this shelf. If I do not use anchors or place a piece of 1 x 12 wood across the wall, I cannot install this. Please send it back to me It looked as though it had been run over by a delivery truck when it first arrived. Good looking shelf with a bit of a confusing measurement.

In order to store my laundry supplies, I needed something lower
5/5

The things I needed for my laundry were on this tray. The level of the built-in shelving had to be at least lower. Basically, I ordered the unit and it looks great in my laundry room with the new washer and dryer Wet/dry clothing.

This little shelf fits perfectly in the laundry room of my screened in porch
5/5

This little shelf fits perfectly in the laundry room of my screened in porch. A free standing unit that served its purpose behind the washer and dryer was not very attractive, but it served the purpose it was designed for. I liked this a lot more than before, and I now have all my laundry products in one place. The cheapest solution I have found. The product is very sturdy and holds many items, however, I would not recommend installing it with the hardware provided. It looked a bit cheap to me. The thing about mine was that I had to put it into a concrete wall, so I had to use something that was a little thicker, as well as some washers for added This is a highly recommended product.

The extra space I needed in my tiny bathroom was just what I needed
5/5

It was important for me to have additional shelf space in my bathroom, and these were just what I was looking for! In my experience, the installation was really easy (I used the drywall anchors included), and they are quite sturdy.
