These are handy little shelves but BEWARE - DO NOT STACK THEM WITHOUT SECURING THEM TO SOMETHING SOLID!! I bought three, stacked them, and loaded them up with cans. First of all, to address other reviewers' concerns - everything should fit together perfectly, so if you're struggling to put on the dividers or the shelves themselves, something is probably upside down or backward or something. You need to look very closely at the pictures just like you would when putting together IKEA furniture, as each item has a proper orientation that is noted in the pictures.
Anyway, the stack of three seemed a little bit rickety but I figured they wouldn't make them to be stacked if they weren't suited to it. Well, as you can see in my photo, I was wrong. One day I was standing at my kitchen sink doing dishes (nowhere near the rack) and all of a sudden it just tipped forward and came crashing down onto the floor. Ever had a pinhole in a soda can and watched it spray everywhere? Well, imagine ten of them spraying all at once, in every direction. My house smelled like root beer for a week. So, I like the product, it's very handy, but you should definitely secure it somehow. After this incident, I used small velcro straps and attached the rack to the solid chrome shelf that is standing next to it. It's very secure now. Thank goodness a toddler or a cat wasn't standing near it when it came crashing down.
Love this product! It is sturdy and accomplished the organization I needed in our pantry.
Great item! We have a 60" wide reach-in pantry with a 34" wide door opening. These will fit two side-by-side but with our pantry only being 19-1/2" deep we could not reach the smaller lazy-Susan's in the corners. So we separated them and out one per shelf with 18" lazy-susan" on the second shelf and 12" ones on the third shelf. Now our pantry is very well organized! Thanks! I originally thought these were a little pricey but after checking locally I realized these were almost the same price as PLASTIC ones. Plus we already had the rolling hamper from DecoBros and love it's sturdy construction. So we ordered two of these and couldn't be happier.
Also I noticed some reviews about things being too short to connect. DeciBros actually sent an email after the item shipped that gave some extra instructions. These actually weren't needed but a very nice touch from a company. The product's assembly has been updated in the carton to include 2 paper tabs that basically say unfold this and spin it all the way around and everything will work. The sides are hinged to the back panel on the BACK so spreading the side panels open you keep turning them away from the back, out to the sides and continue until they are now on the front. So if your plastic dividers are too "short" it means you didn't turn the side panels all the way around.
These can racks greatly expanded my storage space. The space between my metal racks was a hair short, but I took apart the central part and turned the sides upside down so the handle bumps faced down and inserted between the shelf grids, then assembled as usual. Fits like a charm!
I just set up the supreme stackable Can rack, and I really love it!! It wasn't hard to put together, I just looked closely at the directions. When assembling, if you turn the sides the wrong way to start, it messes everything up. The company even sent me an email to give extra directions because so many people made the mistake. I think it's shown clearly in the directions, and it probably took me about 3 min to assemble completely (this is also with a toddler trying to take it apart at the same time). It's sturdy, and has plenty of room for all the cans. I also love that I could get another one and stack them if I wanted. Great buy.

Description
DecoBros CanRack is a good solution for your kitchen to organize and store Cans.
We remodeled our kitchen. I balked when the salesman tried to get my wife to buy some expensive inserts for the drawers and cabinets. I went to a local store and did not like what I found there. I saw this at Amazon and ordered it. Before it arrived, I figured I was in trouble when the company recognizing it has an assembly problem, emailed me instructions on assembly.
" However, We found some customers feedback for assembling issues caused by incorrect guideline.
Most customers didn't turn the two wings of the frame to another side which cause it hard to assemble the three shelves."
OK I have been warned. It arrived and I went to work putting it together keeping in mind the emailed instructions. The unit is well built and capable of holding any #10 can. I would have given it five stars except even being forewarned, assembly was still a problem. When I went to install the top shelf, I could not get the "wings" far enough apart to get the shelf in place. I decided to make the top shelf the middle one and it fit OK. So now moving the middle shelf to the top, I still had the same problem. But it was a closer fit than the other shelf. Initially I was afraid I was using so much force that I might damage it. I could not get it to fit no matter how I tried using just my hands. I finally got a screwdriver and gently pried the opening enough to slip the shelf onto the side "wings." Since this was such a pain to assemble, I downgraded it one star.
Trying to fit it together, showed me that it was strong and heavy duty. The wife loves it as much as the expensive built in stuff the salesman tried to get us to buy. The plastic can dividers could be a tighter fit. They slide around to much for me, but the wife does not mind. Despite the assembly hassle, I would recommend this product.
LOVE love love this product! I took everything out of my pantry and started over....These are a great product---I purchased 4.
Sturdy--not difficult at all to put together.
Soooo glad I purchased 4, as I like neat shelves (maybe I have a pinch of "ocd"?) and wow---does my pantry look awesome!
*update* #5 arrived today! Bob had it put together and I had it on a pantry shelf in less than 15 minutes!
I LOVE the way these racks hold all my canned items!
Pictures are b4 adding #5. will update as soon as I finish my pantry make-over!
This product is awesome. I originally just bought one but realized I had enough space in my pantry to stack two of them and save so much room. The instructions are very clear as long as you pay attention. There are white labels on the frame that tell you the orientation of the sides. After that it's just a matter of snapping the shelves into place.
Other reviewers said they had issues with the can rack falling over due to the weight. I have not had this issue. As long as he rack is on a steady surface and braced against two walls like I have in my pantry it should be fine.
***word of advice tho, if you have small round cans of tuna or chicken don't put them on their sides. They don't roll well and they fall over. Three small cans of tuna can be stacked together on a shelf and two large cans of chicken can be stacked. They will slide this way. My pictures show this***
I absolutely love this can rack!! It saved me from the chaos of my pantry.
I tried another product that was less expensive. It had a similar design, but it held less cans and it was so poorly aligned that it practically fell apart if I looked at it wrong. This product, while I'd prefer it was slightly deeper so it would hold another row of cans, is far superior in quality.
Pros:
*Sturdy: I can pick up the unit without it falling apart.
*Positive connections between the shelves and sides: when there is only one can on a shelf, the shelf stays connected to the sides. The cheaper product doesn't have this feature and will fall apart if the shelf isn't fully and evenly loaded.
*Easy to assemble. The product was clearly marked with tags telling me which way to turn the sides, so I didn't have a problem assembling. The seller also sent a message describing the assembly in detail to make sure i was aware of the process. It was easy and well documented.
*Holds a lot of cans of different sizes. I can put Progresso soup cans on any shelf. It will hold 4 of these in a run. I can also fit an extra run of small cans (such as green chile or enchilada sauce cans) on a shelf, depending on the other cans I have on that shelf. The cheaper product had smaller shelves that didn't hold nearly so many cans.
great product - easy to assemble, sturdy and very versatile. I bought two of these for our panty and they're perfect (see pic). Everything accessible. Great for those things one stocks up on like cans of tuna, black beans, etc etc. Far better solution than stacking cans!
