Origami RPR 5-Tier Slim Pantry Rack, Foldable Steel Shelf with Wheels, Silver

I didn't have any trouble with assembly except for the locking mechanism for the shelving system ( as others have commented). I solved this by getting a heavy coffee table book to place on the shelf, while pushing down on the book to elevate the lock into place. This provided the leverage needed without getting a helper. For reference I am a partially handicapped senior with arthritis...so this project will be easier for young folk. Since I have the larger units, I can say that this will not be useful for heavy items like my other origami shelves that are hefty and larger. However, I can see this working for a laundry room, office files and knick knacks, or as a bakers rack. Overall, I am pleased and didn't have any damage discovered while unpacking, or during assembly of the wheels. Quite an easy project after my last furniture assembly project last week that was very difficult. My shelf unit is going in the laundry room for my containers of powdered laundry soap, cleaning supplies and towels. I wouldn't use it for garage items or canned goods in a pantry however. Just my two cents. 🤔 I do have the 5 shelf origami system for a food pantry in a spare closet that I am extremely pleased with.

These shelving units are super versatile and easy to set up in seconds. I use this one in my living area and it looks nice and blends in perfectly with decor. It is sturdy and with the casters can be easily moved for cleaning behind. I have others I use in my garage for storage and have even used a couple for garage sale displays. People always ask if they are for sale! Nice to have color choices. Highly recommend!

[UPDATE 10/28/20: I moved recently, &, yes, it was so nice to just fold these up. They even fit in my SUV; i didn't use professional movers. Thos is the least favorite of all my foldable shelves. It is a little bit tippy; maybe it would be better if I took it off the casters--but i love the casters! Part of the problem is the "slim" part. Yes they stick out from the wall less, and they're more attractive. But they aren't very deep. Most of your small kitchen appliances won't fit well. If they were flat on the bottom, maybe they'd work. But my microwave, breadmaker & Instapot all have little feet on them, & the feet don't fit on thes narrow shelves. I've ended up adding fabric bins to some of the shelves. But a lot of people will be considering this to put small appliances on. My toaster fits fine! As well as my mixer & my my spice grinder & my mini food chopper. Just pay attention to the dimensions, & look at the bottoms of your applances.] Ordered 2 different origami shelves. They folded out, the wheels and rolled them into place. Easy peasy. Also ordered 2 stackable Honey Can Do shelves which needed to be assembled. Could NOT figure out the directions--which was just a diagram anyway. Shoved them back in the boxes, hid them in a closet and promptly ordered a smaller Origami. Pricey for its size, but folded out just as easily. Remember, people, they will be just as easy to fold UP the next time you move. I LOVE these thingd. I'm amending my answer (in a good way). I DID buy extra inserts. (Avalable at amazon for $30 for 6 inserts, 3 shelves worth) Having 5 shelves with inserts, instead of just the bottom 2, does not compromise the unit. It's not top heavy, for example. One important thing to know. There'" a frame that the 2 inserts fit into. Nice if you use the inserts, but if you don't want the inserts, you're still going to get the frames (2 ajacent frames per shelf). I don,t think anyone else's plastic liners are going to work, because they,d be sitting on top of the frame. Going to sag if you put anything heavy on them. This may be hard to visualize, but here,s my recommendation. If you don't want bare wire shelves, get the inserts. Unless you want to cut your own plywood inserts, or something.

It took some strength to lock down the center piece. At first I wasn’t sure if product was defective. Turns out it’s my muscle strength that’s defective. Lol. Except for that one piece, set up is simple - just unfold it & put on the wheels (or don’t). Weight limit is higher if you leave wheels off. The thin profile is great for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, pantries, closets, small garages & sheds, terraces, & so on. In white it doesn’t look bulky in the least- perfect for my smallish NYC kitchen. Not as stable as this company’s wider, thicker units, which cost much more, but stable enough for my needs. The wood inserts are great - wish more were included but you can buy more separately. One star off for cost - should cost a bit less.

Super easy to "assemble". Unboxing it takes longer than standing up the shelf and opening it. This is a lightweight sturdy shelf. The description accurately states the weight capacity per shelf. The unit is designed for lighter weight pantry items, including packages of paper products. The medium sized casters roll well. There are four pieces of lightweight "wooden" material that fit snugly onto the shelf. The "wood" helps if you are trying to store small items that would be unstable on a wire shelf. So glad Amazon had this in stock. I would have preferred a color other than silver, but other on-line vendors have been out of stock in preferred color for months, so I bought what was available.

i swear by Origami, they seriously are the BEST organizers for my home. i have a rack & several different style carts from this company. i really like the convenience of being able to fold them if needed when relocating to another home. they are very easy to put together, the only assembly is putting on the wheels if you have that particular style and/or choose to add should that option be available. i personally prefer having wheels so i can move them around, esp while cleaning. i highly recommend Origami to anyone that is needing an convenient way to organize your household items, from the closet to the garage. my photos show both an Origami drawer cart & rack that i placed in my sun room to keep everything tidy. i also have a rolling cart on the way to go along with the pieces in the florida room, i wanted everything to match nicely.
