We used 4 of these for a pantry setup. The blue color is a nice change from the typical silver or black, and the shelf boards are so much easier to stack cans, etc. than your typical wire shelves. They are shorter and narrower than the average set of industrial shelving, and the shelves themselves are just no-frills mdf. I covered mine in contact paper to make ’em a wee bit less basic. Highly recommend you have a mallet and a partner for assembly.
