Thread: Wire shelving units

I use cardboard cut to fit. Sturdy, cheap.

I went to the local picture frame shop and asked for boards that were cut-out from the center of the matts [they were free] then cut to measure for my shelves. Laid them down and they work great.

I would cover the cardboard with thinner fabric, and use the denim/vinyl for a picnic quilt : ) free fun.

Well, I broke down and ordered a total of 12 shelf liners. The first four I received were just so nice that I wasn't going to be happy with anything else. Some things are just worth it. Besides, I was feeling like rewarding myself for working so hard on this project! The room will not be picture-worthy for awhile, but I do promise to post pictures of my "new" space and all my hard work! Thanks, again. I am so excited to get this done, but realistically, I have set a goal for the sorting, releasing, re-organization, and re-decorating to be complete by September 1.

What about shelf liner or contact paper ( the sticky sort you can put anywhere)? You'll definitely need something the fabric can slide on and I think the rubber stuff might not do that for you. If you do wind up using your fabric and tying it at the corners, can you hit it with spray starch to stiffen it?

I think the fabric will slide just fine on the shelf liners I bought. I have 18" deep shelves and have set them up jutting into the room (think library bays) so that I have 2 rows of fabric with access on both sides.

Container store sells plastic shelf liners that fit the wire shelving from Sam's perfectly. Nothing falls through.
