Simple Houseware Under Shelf Baskets come in a 2-pack and are built to add an extra layer of storage to standard cabinetry. Each basket is made from gauge-optimized carbon steel with a white polyethylene coating. This coating helps protect the metal from oxidation and provides a softer surface for delicate items. The slide-on arms use a tension fit that works best on shelves between 0.5 and 0.8 inches thick.
Tests indicate that a weight limit of 10lbs per basket is ideal for maintaining the level of the shelf. If loaded with heavy canned goods beyond this point, the rear of the basket may dip slightly. For thinner shelves, adding a small anti-skid pad to the mounting arms can provide additional stability and prevent the basket from sliding when you reach for items. The grid design is tight enough to keep small items like snack bars or spice packets from falling through.
The arms add about 3mm of thickness to the top of your shelf, so it is a good idea to ensure there is enough clearance for your cabinet doors to close fully after installation.
These baskets are a tool-free solution for renters or anyone looking for immediate organization. They are designed to handle the daily movement of items in and out of the pantry. Because the PE coating is thicker than standard paint, it resists chipping even with frequent use, keeping the baskets looking clean over time.
For a version that adjusts to the specific width of your cabinet, the Cinpiuk Expandable Basket offers more customizable sizing.
