I received my liners and put them in place right away. They fit perfectly. My only wish is that a 5 pack needs to be offered, as both of my shelving units have 5 shelfs.
Awesome addition to my shelving unit. No longer worry about any minor splatters from my Keurig coffee maker on the top shelf, getting on all the tablets charging on the shelf beneath.
I started with your basic liner sold by the discount wire shelf sellers. They work, but were usually a slippery shiny type of plastic and usually will only fit the particular shelves (though same dimensions, shelves tend to differ slightly in spacing between the posts, which is why mixing brands in one set of posts often doesn’t work.). Then I found some here on Amazon that were slightly nicer finish, but annoyingly, were a bit too big and came rolled up in a tube, needing to be flattened.
Finally, I found the Sterling ones here. Nice matte finish. Even nicer is the rounded cutouts of the posts. Much more polished looking than a basic diagonal cut.
But not quite perfect. They are cut a bit smaller so they fit every brand of shelves I’ve tried in a size, but slide around a bit. Also, not every size is available. I.e. no 21” deep option. So if you want matched liners and have a mix of shelving, you’re out of luck.
Fortunately, I only use liners for the shelves I use to hold books and all those are 14” deep. For that, these look the nicest, despite sliding around slightly. It turns a utilitarian looking shelf into something respectable looking within a loft-type motif.
I’ve bought 3 sets in 2 sizes. Now, if only I can order these custom cut to size, I would line the non-book shelves too!
I had purchased two wire shelves to keep my stand mixer, microwave, toaster oven, & air fryer; rather than take up counter space. But the little feet on each appliance was falling through and making the items unstable. These liners kept them on a flat surface & kept them working properly.
I especially appreciate the packaging. Many reviews say the were bent and wouldn’t lay flat. Mine arrived flat in a box appropriate to prevent folding or bending. A+
The fit the shelves I got from Target perfectly. I only wish that they came in a pack of 5 vs. 4 since most shelving units (including those on Amazon) have 5 shelves. A+
These liners give my shelves a cleaner look vs. not having them at all in my laundry room. I also have silver shelves that these gray liners would look great on. A+
The material is flexible yet easy to clean. One side is super smooth while the other is smooth with a slight groovy surface (you can use either side face up). I even zip tied a hanging basket on two shelves and the surface is still smooth with no ripples (see pic). My only issue is, the material is sturdy but not indestructible. Meaning, if it bends too much or if you place/drop an extremely heavy item it may break/crack; I had a liner on the bottom shelf with 2 cases of water stacked and decided to remove shelf liner as to not be angry later should it break. Other than that, I recommend theses shelf liners. B-

I ordered these linings for my 14 x 36 x 54 Whitmore Supreme 4 tier wire shelving. Being that the shelving is basically wire racking, I figured it would be a good idea to have a liner of some sort. Unless one plans on putting only boxes and/or other flat bottomed items onto the shelves--which I didn't plan on to--liners such as these are pretty much a prerequisite; otherwise, stuff can fall through the cracks and be a nuisance.
The liners are made out of #5 Polypropylene plastic, which is the same plastic most margarine and yogurt tubs are made of, so it is relatively safe, non toxic, and doesn't radiate that horrendous off-gassing stench which is typical of some plastics, such as #3 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) plastic, for example. One reviewer said he noticed a "small offensive smell," but for me, a guy who is extremely sensitive to smells and chemicals, there wasn't much of anything, which I was relieved about.
I do have one complaint, though:
The liners do fit for most part, but they are a looser in length than I would like them to be. The width is fine, almost perfect, but with the length, the liners are a good half inch short, thus causes some shifting left and right. The more a liner can shift about, the more likely it is to slip off. I attached some photos for you to see. . .
Overall, these do the job. They don't stink (at least not to me), are relatively non toxic and should endure for awhile. But being that they are a little on the shorter side in length for my wire shelving, I am a little disappointed and thus can only give four stars.
These things are pretty good. YES, you may have to trim one side to get them to fit. YES, they only come in packs of four when they're designed to fit racks that have 5 shelves. YES, both of those things are annoying, the latter far more than the former, but (once trimmed) they DO WORK and, in fact, they work great. If you're gonna get them cheapie wire shelving units, these liners are a great accompaniment. Just be prepared to fine tune them when they arrive.
When I ordered the 4 shelf storage cart, I didn't even think about liners, but they were offered at checkout, so I added them onto the order. I'm really glad I got them, they're absoultly essential. They provide a stable base for the items on the shelves and they arrived a perfect fit. They came right out of the package and onto the shelves, a perfect fit. No measuring or cutting to size. All I have to do is wipe them off when they get dusty.
These worked really well with the wire shelving I bought from a local store. They fit perfectly, and keep the wires from making indentations in some items you may store on those shelves. I felt they were a bit expensive, but am overall satisfied with what I received. They will have a bit of a curve in them when you get them, as they're rolled over in the box, but they flattened out when I set them on a shelf and put a book or two in the middle overnight.
Note that if you order multiple sets they will come in separate boxes - apparently they're prepackaged.
I got this as a "customers also bought" item when I ordered a new shelf. I bought a five-shelf unit, and wish I had noticed there were only four liners in this set. Apart from that, I don't feel like I spent my money foolishly. The liners have enough substance to them that wire shelves behave almost like a solid board, so you can be a lot more haphazard about where you place things. There are still a few spots near the edges where heavier or weirdly shaped things (lunch box sized soda bottles, I'm looking squarely at you) will sag and fall over, but the problem is greatly reduced compared to storing items directly on the shelf wires. Mine have only been in service for about a month, but I don't have any longevity concerns. In addition to improving functionality, they look pretty sharp too. I call this a win.
