Shelf Reliance Pantry Can Organizers - Customizable Can Lengths - First in First Out Rotation - Designed for Canned Goods for Cupboard, Pantry and Cabinet - Food Storage Up to 40 Cans

This first in, first out can rack is extremely sturdy and works great if you have several of the same kind of can. I’ve got 3 teens plus I cook often for church and school, and we live in the country, so I regularly have several of the same kind of cans on hand and got tired of trying to hand rotate them in the pantry. This system does take up some space, but it’s easy to fill and easy to see what you have plenty of and what you need to stock up on. The system is very sturdy, but takes a bit of patience to put together. However once it’s done, I’m not expecting to have to move it. A rubber mallet helps tremendously with tightening it all at the end. Holds larger diameter fruit cans well and also takes taller spaghetti sauce cans. Be warned that the six slots shown are for the small soup cans only, so you can get 5 soup cans and one row of tuna in a large 6 slotted set. They’re completely interchangeable so I bought 3 sets and had 2 rails left over in the end BUT I also have slots for everything I use and it was worth it. I LOVE using my pantry now! So nice to have it organized!

This product works as you expect and as advertised. I'm quite happy with this product overall. I needed a solution for our families can storage, which was a designated shelf in our pantry with cans randomly stacked and sorted. I find with this product that we can use the cupboard depth more effectively, especially on the lower shelves where I'd normally have to get on my hands and knees to see what is behind the cans in the front. The first-in, first-out was a big requirement of mine since there was a risk before of using an old, expired can sitting in the back of the cupboard, with this, I feel we don't need to worry since we're always using the oldest can.The unit itself is very sturdy, though I haven't tried stacking them. It was simple to assemble but snapping the rails in place was difficult since it was such a tight fit. I took a big gouge out of my hand when the rail popped off when I tried to pull it apart to re-adjust for a size of can. I think it's a tighter fit than it needs to be but on the positive side it isn't going to come apart on it's own. The design is very adjustable and of the common can sizes I have, all would work fine.The company sells spare parts on their website, so it's possible to expand as needed. I'm considering another unit since this one works great, but due to the design, it only stores 4 different products.

I have already purchased the larger version of this customizable can storage rack and liked it so much I purchased this smaller one as well. It is very easy to set up and seems to be made of good quality plastic. I love the first in first out aspect of the organizer and the ease of seeing what I need to replace. It’s so nice not to have to move cans to get to certain other cans. Fills in all the boxes for my can storage.

I bought 2 of these to use in my pantry. They were relatively easy to put together as the back and front pieces had numbers 1-15 to line each row up. I didn’t even need the instructions. It was simple for me. I laid the cans down in front to make initial adjustment and didn’t put the pegs in tight until I knew it was where I needed it to be to fit the cans. If it was too tight for the can size, I could easily move it with little effort.The things that I did not like about it include the following: 1) Did not like the unfinished look on the sides where you have the ability to extend the unit. I think that it would look esthetically pleasing if a finished end piece came with it to give it more of a polished look. 2) Would have liked for it to be made from a heavier plastic which would have also made the unit sturdier, fit better and tighter at the points of connection. 3) It would have been nice to have some guidance as to how far apart to put the dividers to fit different can sizes. That would have made the process of putting it together much easier.Overall, I love what it does to organize my can goods so I don’t have to worry about rotating them every time I restock to ensure using older cans first. This does it for you. Also, it makes things easier when you need to replenish because you only have to look at your rows and not dig through the forest…lol. If you are on the fence, buy it. Even with the cons, I am pleased with it and glad I did. It will make your life a whole lot easier.

First, the bad.The parts don't "click" or "snap" together. They smoosh together, so a rubber mallet is helpful, at least until the first parts are on the pantry shelf and you're not sure the shelf will hold up to a mallet strike.At this point, you'll need to squeeze the parts together and find they're not very easy to mate with each other. Then again, seeing as they don't snap or click together, the fact they take a good deal of force to attach means it's less likely they'll detach while in use.Secondly, by trying to design the system so only one rail piece can serve ar the top, bottom, front or rear of the walls, it means half the time you'll need to attach the next rail piece from inside the framework. This entails unseating a wall piece or two, the putting the next rail piece under the existing one and pressing outward.Third, be prepared to lose a lot of space. I'd say, compared to the cans stacked side by side by side, it's 33% to 50% less efficient in terms of volume usageFourth, it's inflexible. The walls are positioned at the time you build out the system, and changing them around is a pain. Thus, if you decide to buy a larger sized can for a given product, it probably won't fit in the slot for the normal sized cans you already have of the same product.Speaking of pain, for the last point, I'd suggest you be careful of the edges and particularly the corners. I've not yet drawn blood, but there have been a few times where I grabbed onto some part that has the end of a flange forming a stiff right angle corner.
