My Adjustable Shelves for Craft Storage

So we’ve been talking about art & craft supply storage and I’ve been sharing with you some pictures of my storage.

I felt this was best done through a series of posts including pictures so I could talk a little bit about each item including where we got it, it’s approximate costs, and various things it could be used for.

This is part two of the series My Art and Craft Supply Storage. The first post was about the adjustable shelves I got at Linen’s n Things going out of business sale. They are an 8 ft. wide section and used to stand about 12 ft. tall. We cut our’s down to fit our 8ft. ceilings. Today I think I’ll talk about what makes the shelves adjustable.

Well what makes the shelves adjustable is the track that the shelves fit into.

Adjustable shelf track

You can see the track at right. I saw tracking like this at the home improvement stores in my area. It could easily be added to a wall in an office, study, garage, workshop or studio.

I have just one word of caution. Be aware of how much weight you want to put on them and be sure to locate the studs and screw your track into them.

Our whole unit was very unsteady despite our efforts to reinforce it until we screwed it into the studs in the wall behind it.
