IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE: For High Weight Capacity: stretch the rods out at an angle during installation so they are a bit longer than the width you want. Then, push them down until they are straight and level. This puts the rods under tension, making the shelf hold more weight. (See image) FEEDBACK on this page is largely related to the rods not being being put under sufficient tension. SLEEK & ROCK-SOLID CABINET ORGANIZER: Optimize your Cabinet or storage space with a shelf measuring 10 inches in depth and 17" in width when compact, extending up to 26.5" in width when needed. It s sleek, less than 1/2 inch thickness, adds robustness to your space.
