If you are looking to increase the storage capacity in your kitchen or utility room for a reasonable price, these baskets are the ticket.
Pros:
- It is easy to assembly.
- The baskets are larger than freestanding baskets.
- It is strong enough to hold a load of fruit and the like
Cons:
- It is clumsy to attach to a wall because the baskets tend to come apart until the unit is secure.
- The wire mesh is thin.
- It cannot be used freestanding.
Areas for Improvement:
- The welded washers for attachment to the wall should be replaced with slots so that the assembled baskets can be slid over the screwed-in screws.
- The instruction pictures do not make it clear that the baskets can only be assembled in a certain order.
- The hooks on the label plates should be flatter because the wire mesh lays flat against the wall
- The instructions don't explain that the plastic anchors are only needed for drywall. I attached the baskets to the side of a wooden shelf, and I did not need the anchors. Also, if you are attaching to wall studs, longer (not provided) screws would be needed.
- The six metal hooks for hanging cups and the like can be hung on the side if desired. I would have liked to have received more hooks.
- No chalk is provided to write on the labels.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase.
It is a light weight basket to store that can be used for multiple usage. We brought it for our kitchen to store fruits and veggies.
It would be great if they made with heavy gauge metal so the wire mesh don’t bent.
Inconsistent build makes assembling extremely difficult. It took me over an hour to line all the holes for the machine screws (which are excessively long) by forcing the metal in all different directions to secure the three shelves together. Now the machine screws protrude into the wall once mounted and keep the lower portion of the baskets from being flush for a nice drywall anchor. I use walldogs for a better, cleaner dry wall anchor but didn’t help in this case. This would have ripped the provided plastic drywall anchors out of the wall.
We really like the way this looks inour kitchen and it's great not to have the product taking up counter space!! Be careful not to leave the produce for too long or the mesh with start to make indents in the skin (it has been our experience that only the skin is marked...it hasn't caused any bruising to the fruit itself thus far).
this is awesome and holds a lot weight i love this 3 tier shelf!!!
I love that it was easy to put together. I love the style and seems very durable. I just had issues with one of the bolts that are made on being too small for the screws. I think with a drill I can make it work
This product is great! Very easy assembly and seems to be strong and sturdy. This will certainly help clear up counter space for us as we like to stock up on produce at the beginning of the week. Time to go shopping!
A nice personal touch was the thank you note included in the package. It was nice to see that we had supported a small family-owned business.
I like this product and looks nice in the kitchen
Good quality and easy to hold and move
