Dial Industries, Inc. Adjustable Mini Expand-A-Shelf Organizer

I was surprised by how good this looks in my client's pantry. I was so happy that I could find this shelf perfect for all of their canned goods. I will definitely be purchasing more of these in the future! The plastic is on the thicker side and the fact that you can adjust it to your preferred size is a plus!

I ordered the standard size which states "Expand-a-shelf original" on the box. The description states the depth of the two lower shelves are 2.94" but they are less than 2.5, which makes a difference for bigger cans/bottles. I also note that on the box I rec'd, this item is available in "mega" size which claims the shelves are 4" deep. Would have ordered that one, but it states the "mega" size is 2.38 deep

It’s not what I was hoping for.. It does seem moderately sturdy, but, I was expecting a slightly thicker and a bit more heavyweight. I don’t blame anyone but myself for making a mistake with this purchase. I didn’t read enough reviews and specs to be sure I was getting what I wanted. My fault entirely.That being said, for the time being, I will use it for the intended purpose which is to store extra glassware and mason jars in a spare cupboard in the laundry room, I’ll be watching carefully to ensure it does not begin to sag, but, I’m not expecting a lot here. I don’t expect I’ll be keeping this in the long run. I just don’t think it’s sturdy enough. I’ll go back to a more sturdy product and pay a bit more. Again, my mistake for trying to get better quality for a lower cost.

These were/are nice for my shelves and I really like the height that they give for my pantry and cabinets. BUT, they also start to sag in the middle. We have normal cans sitting on these expanders, nothing very heavy, but the center started to sag so much, I had to take duck tape to them and help shore them up from above and below to keep them in use.UPDATE: about a year later - the sagging has gotten so bad that my cans now have a distinct downslope. Unless there is a way to shore up the bottom from UNDERNEATH - I would pass on these given the choice. Honestly you could probably find a handy different way to prop cans up in the pantry, maybe even plastic shoe boxes, stacked up -- IDK - I'm grasping at thoughts for what to use, but I certainly would not buy these for heavy canned items in a pantry for sure!

I bought this 2 parts plastic shelf to tidy my pantry, but it is even more messy than before. The shelf is not stable, but the plastic itself is very thick. There should be like a reinforcement in the middle to make it less flimsy. Color is white, but can be eaqsily cleaned with a magic sponge. I took the medium size and it could be great for alcohol bottles in a bar if the center was not so weak. Not interesting even for Cans. I keep it anyway now. Not recommended.

First off, realize this is NOT a space saving product. I was aware of this but when I set it up in my pantry, it did take up a lot of space and I questioned if I really wanted to give up the space. My answer quickly was, YES. Now, I can see everything I have so I won't buy duplicates or I can quickly scan the shelves to see what I do need.When I first took it out of the box, I honestly thought it was used. It looked like it had scratch marks on it and shallow gouges that you can only really see at an angle under the light. The edges are rough like they just made the cut from the saw and boxed it. I bought 2 of these and both were the same, so I'm not sure why they look roughed up. However, they were in perfect working condition meaning no cracks, no warped edges or bowing. The material is very sturdy and thick (I think it's PVC material) so I know it will withstand a lot of weight without fear of breaking.I used these in my pantry on wire shelves. I expanded it as far as it would go before the pieces separated. (They are 2 separate pieces, one slides over the other). Another reviewer mentioned that the cans slip around because there is no non-skid lining on the shelves. To anticipate this, I bought some non-skid paper from Home Depot but I did not need it after all. The surface is smooth but not slippery and I have not had any problems.Check out the 2 pictures I posted. Overall, I think it is a great product and would recommend it to anyone. I also received it in 4 days and the price was reasonable at $13.28 each.

I have 100+ bottles of spices and herbs, etc. and storing them while being able to find what I was looking for, too, was presenting a problem. I searched all over and finally found this product. I ordered 2 units for the bottom shelf of my cupboard. They barely fit in my new cupboards depth and width-wise and I am not able to expand the shelves, which would increase their storage capacity, but that minor inconvenience is worth it because each level of the stadium-type shelving is deep enough to easily accommodate 2 spice bottles front and back (I have McCormick, Spice Islands, Trader Joe's and Safeway Organics brands), up to 16 bottles per level. That's 48 bottles per unit in the un-expanded form that I use them in (see the user photo that I uploaded).

I like that this three-tier shelf is expandable. It works perfectly for my pantry cupboard. I like being able to see better what I have on hand rather than rooting through everything on one level.
