We desperately need a rolling shelf for our panty. The intent would be to hold home-canned veggies in quart jars--probably stored in plastic containers. Do you think this would bear the weight? I saw a couple of negative quality remarks, so just not sure. Thanks! We desperately need a rolling shelf for our panty.

I think it would work very well for that. It seems very sturdy (granted mine isn't loaded down with heavy cans). I have been pleased with mine.

I think it would. I have up to 4 - twelve packs of soda standing on end plus gatorade and/or water on mine in the bottom of my pantry. I really like it because it will roll out.

The shelf I ordered was very heavy duty. If you do not need it to roll, there are good, less expensive options.
1872105
Yes it is a very good quality metal, chrome, I believe. I am very happy with mine.

It will depend on the weight. I use it to get quick access to a extra stuff like a small rotisserie grill and such. It probably will do well if you put the containers roughly over the wheels, say two rows on each side and leave the center for lighter stuff

Yes, this shelf is very sturdy. I've got it loaded with heavy appliances and it's not bowed and continues to slide easily.

I use this shelf to hold 25 pounds of dog food and large spaghetti sauce jars and extra condiments. Have no problems!
1872109
Yes, it is heavy and quite substantial. I was unable to use mine because the floor of my pantry is about 2 inches above the floor, so when I put heavy things on it, as I would roll it out, the front wheels would drop down that little ledge. If your pantry is level with the floor, you will love it.

Hello! I LOVE my rolling Shelf! Mine hold everything from bottled waters and canned drinks to paper goods and bulky appliances, just so that I can get everything off the floor of my pantry. I over ordered by a couple that have never been used, and are still boxed if you're interested, make me an offer. Otherwise, I really, really am happy with them, and they look nice too! : ) Hope that helps!

I really like mine. I have cans and boxes on mine and have no problem rolling it out. Hope that helps.

Maybe if you glued them together with proper plastic glue; but the plastic isn't made to stack the edges are round. It sits still nicely, I had some that "danced" on the self when used. I have four on half of a pantry shelf. They fit only Campbell's ravioli and the typical vegetable size cans. Soup like cream of anything and progresso cans are too small or too fat. I love them though, they are well made and still look new after almost a year of constant use. Best option for the money when I was looking. Good luck!

Probably not, if you are thinking of canned goods on all the shelves. Fine for crackers, some dishes, and other things that dont weigh a ton. I use it as a bathroom cabinet, and the shelves do bear a fair amount of weight.

Sorry, we mostly use these bags to avoid all the little plastic bags in the various supermarkets and grocery stores. So, I can't really speak to the long term storage of lettuce, but most veggies and fruit seem to store well.

No. Just buy something that is intended to be used as a pantry. This is intended to be used as a closet. It is not supposed to be top heavy because it could tip over.

In my experience , I put 2 blu apples into my produce bin. I stored strawberries in their ventilated container inside of the drawer with 2 apples. The next week they were still good. So, I have decided to have extra apples around to stuff into clipped spinach bags, and bagged salads and veggies... the stuff you never have room for in your produce drawer. i think it will work like an enclosed drawer.I am impressed and I like that I don't have to wash out and reuse the green bags that serve the same purpose. Yes , this works. It is just a matter of chemistry. I liked the green bags too, years ago, but got tired of washing the bags and having them dry all over my kitchen and be messy looking. I like the blu apples better...but you need more than 2 to cover everything if you like having veggies stored. Hey, for cost of produce, why not try it? It works for me. I toss a whole lot less into the compost bin. Don't expect miracles, highly delicate items like raspberries will last longer than usual but nothing is a miracle cure for nature.

I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood. I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these.

Each shelf holds 9reg size of corn or other vegetablesI'm finding it very helpful I'm cleaning out my cabinets all the canned goods .I put all my tomatoes on one shelf all my beans on one ..show my veggies on another it's very handy and you could see at a glance what you need to buy at the store .. if you have any other questions just let me know it is large I'm using one and another one in seperate cabinut but I think you will really get some extra space with this as I didjust the idea of being able to see what you need at the grocery at a glance to me is invaluable it's not hidden behind everything in the cabinet I think you will enjoy it and find it very useful....

I would think of this more like a wrap, I put veggies or tuna in mine. Make sure that you seal it up good or they will dry out. The are very good, but I don't think they are like an eggroll.

I just measured the height available for a can and and it was about 5 1/2 inches so whatever diameter can fit into 5 1/2 inches, I think it will work. We only have cans in ours. I can, but I don't think I would want to put my jars in this. I would feel somewhat uncomfortable with the glass jars being on their side, rolling and and moving to the bottom level. This storage unit is not heavy duty. Mine works fine for my purposes for storing cans of items I use frequently like canned soups, Bush beans, tomato sauce, chilies and such.

There is a rack made for exactly that. You load new cans on top layer, they roll around and down. Each time you take a can from the lower level, the whole group rolls. It fits on the second shelf in our fridge. We're pleased with it.

Storage is very important. I store beans & legumes 2 ways: in the cupboard using Snapware containers (I believe that a 17 cup one will hold the 5 lbs of lentils. Then there is the less than glamorous way using a food safe bucket with a gamma lid. I use both methods because I buy 20 lbs of soybeans at a time for soy milk. Beans that I only buy little bits of, and don't use all that often get put into a Ziploc and, after a trip to the freezer, find themselves dumped into the bucket along with the soybeans. I have a smaller canister that I keep soybeans at hand in. As for the jute bag question: not. There is, however a plastic bag inside of the jute bag but once you've opened it, you will really want to put them into something airtight.

These are great for transporting lettuce and other greens from the market to your house. As far as storing them for time they are just adequate. Most refrigerators try to reduce moisture by pumping out air and since these are open aired, the moisture in greens goes with them. If you're only planning on a day or two they'll be fine, but if you're looking to store them for an extended time (which you really shouldn't since you're buying them fresh) they're not as good as plastic for retaining moisture. I hope this helps and I need to say that I love mine! Would order them again in a minute if I didn't have them!

I'm not exactly sure about pounds, but I have them loaded down. I use it as storage for can goods, and large items that are heavy. We shop in bulk and bulk items will not fit in our pantry. I do know 20#'s of potatoes, and a case of soup is on one shelf and it doesn't seem to be any problem. Weight distribution I think is the key. Hope this helps.

Jar storage is what I use. Have not had my beans go bad. 5 lbs last me around 6 mo.

I am not sure what is recommended, but I have my large shelf (16" deep) open to its widest capacity and the shelf is literally filled with cans of food, both large and small. I know it is heavy but I've not seen any problems with it.

Rhonda got good answer from 1st response. But I would like to add as to quality of shelves: no problems with shelves being too weak to hold plants and zippers have been in daily use with no problems. Plastic has stood up to rain, sun, and wind. I am pleased with the product.
