Those things fall apart at the connectors when you place weight on them. I have a few they are now used as a fence for my rabbit. Plus no wheels. Id stick with those other shelves you have.

I wouldn’t put anything too heavy on them. Maybe hats or plush or make them makeup shelves. We had them in our guest room and I had fabric stacked on them and it was too heavy. Looks great though! You gained so much space turning the bookcase!!!!

Yep I had those also. They collapse very easy. Don't put heavy stuff on them or clothes. GL Thanks for sharing.

I find these are the GoodWill bins all the time. Last time I went I found 3 zip lock bags filled with the connectors and about 10 full sets (all 5 grates per set) in a couple different colors. I use them to hold merch on my actual shelves. Since they are narrow enough I can hold two to a shelf.

You may want to reinforce them with zip ties, especially for fragile or heavy items. They are known to come apart. The connectors have the tendency to come loose sometimes.

I added E6000 inside the connectors for stability. They've been together for about 7 years now in my classroom with 22 kids using them. You can buy extra connectors from the company if needed. I noticed people saying don't put heavy things on them, but I have books on mine and games.

You need to get some zip ties and put them on every section of it because those plastic round holders will eventually work their way loose. I have a huge cube section of the same material and it took time to put all those zip ties on there but at least I know it's not going to collapse on me someday.

I've used these for years. You have to really seat those connectors well so they are sturdy. The only time they come apart on me, is if I try to move them. I used to store scrapbook paper in them. I'd take extra panels and zip tie them inside a cube to divide the cubes into extra shelves. Worked well for the paper although dust was an issue. For inventory I use boxes and bins on the rolling metal shelves like you have.

Only thing I use.. good for so many applications for storage..

Good idea turning that bookshelf the other way!! The other shelves can hold more weight and are more sturdy, so I think they each have their place. I wouldn't want to put any lots of books or anything heavy like that on those wire cubes.

I have a whole wall of those cubes 5 high by 10 long. Plus other configurations. They are great. Got them years ago at Target, on sale they were $20 for a box of 9. A little advice is to use a rubber mallet on the connectors to lightly hammer them so as to push them in together nice and tight. I have never had them come apart after doing that, unless I try to move them.

I used to have some of these. I actually made a temporary dog crate out of them when I was potty training one of my dogs in 2005. I wish I still had them.

These must be pretty popular at garage sales around here. I got a smaller unit last year at a sale and just hooked them up a few months ago. They are awesome for storing boxed action figures and other small boxed items.

I use those cubes as well. I wire tied them together because the small button tabs pop off occasionally.

Lonnie is a shed visionary.

I use these as well! They also make foldable cloth bins that fit perfectly inside each square for cheap

I lost some of my connectors, used zip ties in their place. I’ve had no problems with them

I have them I use them for my scrapbook paper

Great addition! 👍

The plastic joints will crack eventually, I recommend some heavy duty zip ties to alleviate the stress and some plumber glue to keep the "bushing" in place.

College dorm room cubes.. they are cheap and will come apart easily unless you zip tie every single sheet together

I would use zip ties on those corners as well. These units are notorious for coming apart at the connectors.

Unfortunately they do not hold a lot of weight so take care to only put lighter inventory on those shelves

You should lock it together with zip ties. So it won't come undone

No good for heavy stuff. Was it me or did the video cut out abruptly?

Looking good Lonnie 👍

I use a couple hundred of them, make sure to anchor them or they will go to one side or the other over time.

you MUST cable tie them together.. they will pop apart and you will have a heap on the floor if not.

There's nothing like getting some new gear to play with.

Weird, I did not get a notification for this short clip. Nice idea. Look forward to seeing how it holds up.

How do you guys keep your shed heated in the winder? I have a 12x32 and none of the heaters we have tried will keep it comfortable when it's cold.

looks good guys

Zipties those together, one slip and they all fall apart

Walmart online has the the 16 cube version for $59.98 , but I think each cube is 12 inches by 12 inches .... each shelf is rated to hold up to 22 pounds

Great for light items those card boxes and comic boxes will break them

I might have some extra corner pieces. Lmk. I know I have the grids but shipping wouldn't be worth it

they are ok. but you will learn they are not that great. dont load to heavy. add some zip ties to the joints.

I use these.. if you're gonna put weight on them zip tie the intersections. Also make sure they're fully connected in, and not just half way. Don't get rid of the backs thinking you can make more cubes out of them, the backs help support. And last if you're gonna buy alot, they sell by 12, 16, 20 .. count how much you're paying per panel instead of per cube. Sometimes the 12 cube is cheaper per panel

Becareful putting to much weight on them. Sometimes they come apart under weight.

Personally I wouldn't use zip ties either, use tie wire like you are tieing steel....zip ties slide and slip...if you tie wire at every other + it'll hold no problrm.. but I'm always over building things lol

I’m wondering if these would work well for shoes, judging by the comments im thinking not. maybe if i use a million zip ties to aid the clips.

👍👍😎✌️

Not good for heavy items. I used for my son's toys when he was little. They sometimes pop apart. I have the mixed version now with faux leather. They can't handle much . 💁🏾‍♀️😨🙆🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️
