I added on to my home, enlarging the kitchen. When it was gutted, I used these shelves for my everyday items, dishes, a few pans, canned goods etc. It made thing less painfull in my demolition. They are a nice chrome finish. I do have several sizes in this manufacturer and am pleased with each one. Be sure to follow weight restrictions, always a safe bet. Now when my kitchen is completed, they will go in the basement for seasonal items. Extremely satisfied in Wisconsin.
