I bought this item in order to put my various size/depth lids into  a more convenient, non-standard sized, upper cabinet. I thought it was perfect, until I tried to remove a lid from it and realized that I would need more clearance. It would be perfect if there was an option to buy wires in which one leg is about 1/2-2/3 the height if the other so that you could get lids out without a lot of clearance wnd still have the expansion capability. I have changed it to use with my pans, which I like quite a bit.
