If there is one thing that my kitchen needs more of it is storage space. Actually there isn’t space in my kitchen to have more space if you know what I mean. I can stand in the middle of my kitchen and reach across it practically and I’m only five feet one. I do have some space in my dining area though. So we Best Choice Products asked me to team up I jumped at the chance.

They sent me the Adjustable 6-Tier Steel Shelving Rack Storage W/ Castor Wheels which a whole bunch of words for a big ol’ rack that I needed more than you know. The day it was scheduled to arrive I whipped the family into shape and got them to help. By that I mean I yelled a whole bunch about how no one ever helps me and then stared at the dining room for like an hour (see above pic) while I decided how to rearrange things. We moved a buffet that was in there out since it no longer served it’s purpose.
The shelf came in and I attempted to help my uncle put it together. It wasn’t difficult at but remember I said I was only 5’1″? After the third shelf I was too short to help anymore. This rack is tall, in fact it’s dimensions are, 47.5”(L) x 17.75“(W) x 76.75“(H) and it can hold up to 660 pounds. So it is the perfect unit for us!
Once we got it all together we moved it into place. Since it was on wheels this was easy, although I did put the wheels that locked to the back at first. My uncle made the comment that it would be easier to have those wheels at the front so a quick spin and we were good. Next came the decision of what was to go on it. I knew I wanted the microwave on there as well as some of the food items that we use a lot.
As you can see in the pictures the senior citizens drink a whole lotta coffee. I swear I thought that whole shelf was gonna end up having nothing but coffee and coffee stuff on it. It was crazy. Then I added the items we use often in containers. When I put the bottles and jars of condiments on there I didn’t like how they sat on the wire rack. So I put them pretty baskets to make things look better. With the microwave we put a piece of board under it. The board brings the microwave up so the door will open and keeps the little peg legs from falling through the wires.
As you can see we now have more than enough space. Things that need to be easily accessible are and everything looks great. Now for the two safety issues that I was concerned about that are sort of the same thing. First is the fact that it may sit uneven since it was on the carpet. When put it into place there was a slight jiggle to it since it was on carpet and not a hard floor. The fix was a breeze. My uncle simple adjusted the two front wheels. The wheels screw into place so by unscrewing them slightly and making the front a little taller it solved the jiggle problem. Sort of like who would adjust you washing machine legs. Doing this also solved my second concern.
That was what would happen if the twins climbed on it. I was more than prepared to attach it to the wall if I needed to. Once we had everything loaded I did something that you should never do! Mostly because my kids were watching and what a bad example I set. I climb up on it myself. I got onto the bottom shelf and jiggled away. It didn’t fall or move out-of-place. We did locked the wheels which is something I should have mentioned before. Unscrewing those two front wheels a little meant it leaned slightly into the wall anchoring itself. However feel free to attach it to the wall if you feel that is something you need.
We rearranged the entire dining room and now have a whole new fresh look that gives us much more room. Not only with the space for storage but in the dining room itself. Everything looks fresh and updated. So much so that we ended up redoing the living and cleaning out the kitchen a bit as well. I worked them like dogs they said. They’ll get over it though.
