Has anyone tried using this with storage baskets that come in standard sizes, like Closet Maid brand makes? Thanks :)

It's not a very sturdy shelving. I almost sent them back. Instead I tried using decorative boxes that fit snuggly into each bin. They are lightweight enough for this shelf and actually stabilized the unit.

It was too tall for our cabinet. But we wanted a maximum size basket, so my husband trimmed off the top rim to make it fit. With a trash bag over the edges nobody sees the cut. And we put a little stick on towel hook on the front as a pull to replace the handle that was cut off. Works like a charm.

that's a great idea, but I haven't seen it offered. I hang clothes on my unit and bought a hanging rod, however there isn't quite enough room to hand two rows of clothes and I really don't use it :( Love the unit though, I purchased two of them. I use pretty wicker baskets for the top shelf, it's very sturdy.

I just measured the cubby dimensions and went to Michael's, where they sell tons of baskets. I found some that fit perfectly.

yes, baskets can be used but they can't be wide or tall. I have my teapot on it and I sometimes use a plate and put my fruit on it. You gave me a good idea about the baskets, I think I will use them, too.

You are better off going for a rack basket combo from one manufacturer. I have a universal rack and this basket slides right in. Note that these dont click into place but slide in so the weight of what you are carrying actually secures it better.

I don't think the manufacturer of this piece sells them, but it seems to me any basket that size would work. Try Michael's or Cost Plus or Pier One Imports or any place that sells baskets.

Don't think so. The stationary divider down the center of the cabinet will prevent the basket from fitting.

I think you could put a smaller bottle of detergent in there. Although depending on how heavy it is, it might bow the plastic baskets. You really would have to use the mounting screws. Mine just has spices in it and it tends to "swing around" when I open and close the doors.

I'm thinking of getting the small tapered bins as laundry baskets. Is the size big enough for one load of washing (we each have a basket) and is the material suitable for dampness, as I sometimes throw dirty, damp washcloths and baby clothes into them.

I have 3 different Closet Maid Models and all have these standard bins that fit the same. Only the mini's aren't the right fit.

I can think of three possibilities. One would be obvious, if you pull the drawer baskets too far out they will fall. The second more likely reason is that the unit is not assembled tightly. It is very important that each of the connectors at the corners of the frame are inserted completely into the frame pieces. We have a total of 10 of these units and I used a hammer to get each one completely assembled. This makes the width of the unit minimal which will allow the baskets to slide in the tracks. The inside of the opposing tracks should only be about 1/8 inch wider than the basket and they will stay in place. The final possibility that I can think of would be that your side supports are bowed out for some reason. If you lay them on the floor they should be flat. If they are bowed out in the middle the drawers would fall out. Depending on how bad the bowing might be you should be able to straighten them out and they should work fine. Hope this helps.

I have baskets on my shelves. I'm not sure what storage bins you mean, but I took the dimensions for you. The shelves measure 33" by 16". The distance between them is 10", but that includes the lip on both the upper and lower shelves. There is actually 11.5" of space between the shelves, but the bins would have to be 10" or less in height to be able to fit onto the shelves. I hope that makes sense! Good luck!

I would say No...I tested it with the Ronzoni brand in my cabinet. There were short enough but they were too wide. Other brands may be narrower, but I still don't believe this to be an ideal storage container.

The baskets are only 9x10, so my husband's shoes won't fit any way and mine would barely fit standing up. So it wouldn't work for us.

I would look at revashelf's other products. I have the product you are looking for and it works great. Search: Rev-a-Shelf 5WB2-1822-CR 18" x 22" Double Pullout Wire Basket
