Has anyone tried any baskets on the lower shelves and what did you use?

You could easily use baskets on the bottom shelf, but I would make sure that they are not rough on the bottom, as they may scratch the shelf.

I have not but I think some nice wicker baskets with a contrasting lighter brown would look lovely.

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.

The way that the vertical posts are built prohibit this. I bought shorter shelf systems. Keep looking you will find them.

These baskets can hold DVDs horizontally. Because of tapered bottom, you cannot vertically stand up DVDs.

Plastic lock in place covers for the vertical tube work quite well. Not sure why but they do. Heavy items on one side of basket has no effect on shelf being level.

i have 11 1/2 '' from basket bottom(lower) to basket bottom ( Upper) theres an 1 1/2 '' needed for the brackets on the bottom. the baskets are 3''. thats a total height of 15'', (11 1/2 + 1 1/2 + 3) . But they have one taller , I think 17''. The lower one is adjustable? not unless you mount the brackets on some thing to raise it. Other than the waste of 1 1/2 '' used on the bottom.( the brackets could have been made flat instead of u shape), I find it the most well made durable, useful, and economical of others I have tried. I have glidez in every cabinet but my spice. Just waitin for them to come up with one for that. i have 11 1/2 '' from basket bottom(lower) to basket bottom ( Upper) theres an 1 1/2 '' needed for the brackets on the bottom. the baskets are 3''. thats a total height of 15'', (11 1/2 + 1 1/2 + 3) .

I have this shelf. It did not come with drawers, and not sure where you would put them. Maybe some baskets would work though.

I would have to say no. The basket is pretty short. I would go for a taller one for larger item storage.

Yes. I love it. Our linen closet has deep shelves and I forget what's back there and couldn't reach it anyway. This basket makes it easy.

The baskets are flat and all you have to do is open them and add the bottom to each one. ..... I love mine.

I have put them on the lower rack just not in the center more to the outside edge

Baskets come with panels separate but fit together well. Sturdier than they appear. I love mine!!! Look nice hold a lot. I use mine as bakers rack.

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.

We used a swag hook from the ceiling. THat proved too high for me to reach easily (I'm only 5 feet tall), so we hung a wire hanger from the hook and the basket from the hanger.

No..these baskets are better than I expected and will be ordering a few more in the future..

I am really not sure if that would work because the rattan on the baskets comes all the way up and over the sides so they are completely covered and the files would not slide. If you are looking for them to be stationary, it would work.

I have put shoes below the lower shelf. It works well for shoes that aren't very high up, like a sandal or flip flop, but I have got my tennis shoes under it. My fiance is even able to put his dress shoes for work below the lower shelf.
