I bought these shelves to put in a closet that we turned into a pantry. My hands were tied because I needed shelves no wider than 25 inches. These were the ONLY ones I could find that could withstand heavy storage in the pantry. They work but I would suggest airing them out before use. I can't believe how strong they smell! I had to put them together in the closet I use them in so I had to take them apart to air the closet which was too much for me. Help them by saying air these kids before use!
