Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'll be back!

They are really good. I was able to make two 2x3 backless meshes, a 2x2 backless mesh and a square with lots of spare meshes. I have 50 grids, all uniform, clean and black. However, there is a trick to connecting them together, you need to look at the connectors (sold separately but worth it); There are small lines in the grippy part that keep the nets in place. You have to go with the grain, so to speak. Pushing in the wrong direction is almost impossible. If you're having trouble, stop and look into the grooves, changing directions makes this a lot easier until you have to connect 4 corners, then it gets a bit difficult again. I'll report back once I've finished them. They wobble, don't expect them to be as stable as bookshelves. But for this purpose, on the bottom of a closet for shoes or folded clothes, or in the children's room for toys or as a basket, it works very well. My husband placed a large bag (about 25 pounds) of cat food on one of the square designs and while I could tell it was stretching, it took me about an hour to get it off. As if he had never existed. EDIT 30 Nov 14: Back for another set! I bought them almost a year ago on January 5th or so. You still go strong. I have an organizer in my closet (shoes and weird stuff), in the baby closet (clothes that don't fit yet, supplies and gear), next to the changing table (for diapers and stuff, bathing suits). , and baby stuff), in the office (space for all our board games, and we have a lot of them), and by the sofa (used as a side table, I put drinks/plates on it, tuck away straps for work, yarn projects, and I've plugged in the power cord to charge your phone, turn it on and use your laptop). i still love her They always look clean because they don't collect dust, you can use them for almost anything (I've used them as a cookie cooler in a pinch, a rack for dying fabrics, a rack for more air). go into electronics and various other weird uses), and if a setup doesn't work for you, just add what you need, or take it apart and build a new one. I can easily assemble and move it even when I'm almost 9 months pregnant, and when you don't need it, the nets are stored in a space of about 14 x 14 inches. I can't do that with any piece of furniture that I know of. New Tips I Learned: Just buy some zip ties if you want them to be more secure, and zip ties are another great thing you can use for almost anything. You can attach them to the wall with those little hooks you find at hardware stores, or just a screw and zip tie (essential as I'll be a small person and need things that won't stretch) which I've never used have had none of them however are unstable even at a 1 x 5 height setting. EDIT: my husband just hinted that this would be my THIRD order of these. Apparently I love them very much but he doesn't care because they eat cheap, keep the house clean and make me happy. I definitely recommend them.
