Question: Will this rack work on a pantry shelf that has a depth of 11.5 inches?
Document: I had measured my shelf space exactly (13.4 inches height). On the product description, is states the dimensions as 13.25 inches tall. They are NOT!! They are 13.5 inches tall. And, that's not even including the extra height the cans are going to create. Wish I had never purchased them!
This product is close to being a good one. It looks good and it's a good size. It went from 3 to 5 stars because of the poor directions. The problem was further compounded by a confusing and not terribly helpful email with an attempt to clarify the directions. My bf is pretty good at putting stuff together. He found both sets of directions a little confusing. He got it together just fine. But only some of the dividers work. Some stay in fine while others just pop out. So I have a little stack of dividers sitting next to the product on my shelf.
This can rack holds a lot of cans in a small footprint. It is extremely stable. The metal rods are substantial, not flimsy.It is slightly over 13&#34; deep --- too deep for our pantry which has 10 inch shelves. Because of this, we are using the rack in a storage unit. We bought inexpensive shelves from Lowe's and stack these units on the shelves. (Edsal 72&#34; high shelves). There is a lot of storage - 36 cans per rack (12 per shelf).It took less than 5 minutes to put together.
Again, the trick is to be sure to "unfold" the support unit properly before you begin. No tools needed.The rack is much sturdier than what I expected; each shelf (and the outside support) is made of quality metal and is close to the heft and strength of an oven rack. I was impressed & I've been able to fill all three shelves with "Chunky Soup" sized cans--I didn't expect this to accommodate THAT much weight, but it does.I have a TINY pantry (I call it a shoe closet) & I've had to really work at maximizing space.
I just finished installing three (3) of these can holders onto some industrial-grade shelving, for use in a pantry. High quality, welded steel-wire assembly -- fits together well, VERY EASY TO ASSEMBLE, and zero tools required. Immediately following assembly, I filled all three holders with cans (i.e., fully loaded), and the cans stay in place, and very little sagging of the rack. Racks are constructed with a lip on the front side to retain cans in the rack (these work fine), and are provided with rails which can be installed transverse to a shelf at any point on any of three shelves, creating a shelving &#34;slot&#34; to fit cans of most sizes.
I purchased two of these organizers and they work well. I had no problem putting them together. I keep one on the bottom shelf of our pantry to keep canned goods and another in the garage pantry for overflow/emergency goods.
We recently remodeled and now I have a large pantry, I ordered only one originally just to see how it would work. These are GREAT for organizing my pantry! I ended up ordering one more and I'm contemplating yet another one. Very easy to see what cans you have and stores many in a smaller space than just placing them on the shelf. The only issue I had with them is they are a little taxing to put together, especially once you are trying to place the last shelf, fits VERY tight and hard to maneuver the pieces into place.
This provided the perfect element of organization that I needed for my pantry - I was tired of pushing and moving cans around on the shelf and always trying to stack them, I figured it was time for something a little more professional. I was a little bit dubious when I pulled the unit out of the box - folded flat and needing to be assembled, it looked like it might be a lot of work but it really wasn't.One critical point is that you need to make sure when you stand the base up and open the sides - you must make sure the sides are turned the right way, otherwise you'll find it very difficult if not impossible to assemble.
I placed this on the floor of the pantry, re-situated my onion bins & reclaimed a bunch of valuable real estate. I most HIGHLY recommend this storage unit; if I had room for another one, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Just be sure to measure your space carefully; this is "bigger than it looks. "I hope they'll make a "junior model" 2-shelf unit one day--I have less than 11" between pantry shelves. This was a great buy for me; I recommend this most highly.
After purchasing this item, I received an email from the buyer that previous buyers that complained this was hard to assemble. Why not warn us ahead of time. Hard is an understatement. It was nearly physically impossible to assemble. It took me 30 minutes of pounding metal with a hammer to get it the metal hooks to go where they were supposed to go. I was finally able to get one rack assembled, and even with the use of a hammer, could NOT get the 2nd rack to work. When I put the one assembled rack in my pantry, it would not fit!?!
Answer: Depth of the can rack is 11-5/8 inches front to back along the side frame; so yes, it will fit OK on a pantry shelf of 11-1/2 inches depth.  BE AWARE that the lip of the shelf rack protrudes about 1-1/2 inches forward beyond the side frames (total depth from lip to back of rack frame is just over 13 inches); so if your pantry shelves are behind a door having less than 1-1/2 inches of space between the door and the shelf front, the door likely will collide with the lip of the shelf rack, and will not close completely.I have the can rack mounted on a shelf that is about 16 inches in depth, with the lip of the can rack protruding beyond the edge of the shelf.  This gives me a space of just over 4 inches BEHIND the can rack, which I can use to stack other stuff.
