I want to thank you for the disclosure in the beginning of the video. Right off the bat it shows professionalism and honesty in your review. I only wish other reviews on You Tube realized how important this is and how much credibility it builds, both for the reviewer and the manufacturer. Nice Job on the review
This is exactly what I've been looking for, thanks for the review. Also I really appreciate the full disclosure at the beginning of the product reviews.

Love the hardware, the design is good, are the shelves vertically adjustable to remove dead space between rows? As for price, its a bit outside my range for sure but similar designs run compatible pricing so its probably not a bad price.
Looks like a solid unit. I've tried a number of cheaper versions over the years and found you get what you pay for. I'm wondering how it would work for glass jars with a narrower mouth, like spaghetti sauce or glass jarred olives. Good review.
Thanks for the review I did buy one of these. You are right about the instructions. Also I wish the had wheels. Other wise we love this thing. More room than we need its great.
@denebrock The frame is made of what many call unistrut, we used this to brace telecom racks that had essential equipment back in my contractor days. It is stronger than something like this will ever need. The tracks are plastic but even fully loaded they don't bend, bow, etc. I can't see how this equipment would fail. If it were exposed to bright heavy UV light for a long time (direct sun light) I'd worry about the plastic long term but who in their right mind would store food that way.
Great review. How long will that price be in effect? Also, does the MSB discount apply to this special price as well? If you were to put cans on a normal shelf how many could you fit in the same size space? I'm just wondering how much space is lost between the angled racks. I guess what I'm asking is if I were trying to decide between putting normal shelves or this type of unit into a new pantry, how much capacity would I be sacrificing to gain the ease of rotation?
Definitely a good system for rotation, which is one of the biggest problems when storing canned goods. It takes up a bit of space but more than makes up for that with the ease of use & constant rotation of your food. On the comment by jgw44, they could make a single row shelf with a high front lip that would work for jars. Or maybe they could make a separate rack system just for jars that could be purchased for those who can a lot.
I have 3 of these and they work great. Unfortunately, we are selling our house to downsize and I will be needing to sell them. Sturdy and they work as advertised. Mine have been in an upstairs closet.
Not going to knock a nice product but if you have room to have racks set out from the wall a $90 roll around shelving unit works as well. I put new cans in the back and cook from the front cans so they also get rotated. I believe my shelving unit holds twice the cans this unit does so if you have the room like I do in my pantry, I have two shelving units in the middle of the room and two on each wall for stuff that doesn't need rotating, then I'd go with roll around shelves. On the shelving unit mine holds around ten cans and if double stacked on each other that's twenty per row and the rows all touch each other with no wasted space between them.
As someone who pays close attention to shelf life of canned goods, simply putting the most recently purchased cans to fill open spots doesn't guarantee "oldest to newest" rotation. I have gone back to the store and bought the exact same product but it expired before stuff I had at home. That being said, is it pretty easy to empty out in order to get a true rotation set up based on expiration date?
@whittle4u - I think people don't understand how much these racks actually hold. Check out my other video on the pantry plus where I empty it. The spatial use is extremely efficient. As for your comment about heat, dude what are you talking about.
@docwatmo I think it is hard to understand but there is zero real "dead space" the gaps you see are not dead space they provide storage. There is very little clearance for the cans. When the unit is full mot of that space is used. Again consider depending on what you store we are talking over 500 cans. If the average can in the unit is 12 oz that is about 375 pounds of food. Look at the part where I totally fill a space with 15 cans to see what I mean. Trust me it is very efficient.
Looks good, but its convenience at a cost. For me, I'd rather spend the $300 on cans to fill the shelves with... that's A LOT of cans. but... it looks like a nice solution for some people.
that is a nice rack but if i spent that much money on it i would not have any money to buy food. i think i can build somthing close to this for a lot less money but i like the idea
It seems like the shelves could be closer together and then maybe you could add another. Also, are the shelves metal or plastic? With a shelf being one piece construction, if it cracks, then the shelf is no good. Also, the price is absolutely ridiculous, and is only so high because of lack of competition. That company should be pretty embarrassed if not completely ashamed of themselves. Gouging price wise under the guise of helping, that's not a true prepper spirit at all.
Make sure when you buy one of these you buy them from a consultant like me to get a GREAT price on them - save over 40% off retail. Click my name find my site. You can customize these to fit all soup can or all #10 or many combinations in between!
This shelf sucks in a commercial applicatio n. We have one at our restaruant and its totally innefficient just fyi. It'll snag ur fingers and cans get stuck constantly..
Great video, Thanks. Although I have to say even with 3 boys I can't see going through any of the huge cans. I think I'll buy one of the smaller units that isn't as wide and just get rid of the trays that hold the #10 cans and replace them with trays for smaller cans.

Nice Job on the review.
I have two of these, and one #10 can only version, plus some of their small pantry racks. A well made product that is totally worth the investment
@Engineer245 You have hit the nail on the head. There is always a less expensive way to do this kind of thing. Fantastic point!!!
I can see the racks being useful in your kitchen cabinets to store everyday cans. Thanks for sharing.

Top notch review for a top shelf product, looks like a great way to keep my supply rotated
Good review Jack. I have been looking at those for some time. It looks like now is the time to get it!
This looks like a great add to my preps. Always needing a better to know what I have or need.
Looks like a solid unit. I've tried a number of cheaper versions over the years and found you get what you pay for. I'm wondering how it would work for glass jars with a narrower mouth, like spaghetti sauce or glass jarred olives. Good review.
I love the podcast. I like how you can move the the shelves and customize it to your needs.

Thanks for the review... looks like an excellent product for food storage and rotation!
Great job!
This is an awesome storage solution. Thanks for the informative review Jack!

This looks like a great way to rotate preps - no more writing purchase dates on cans!
Looks like a great product! Looks solid and worth the price!
It does not take loosing much food due to lack of rotation to cover the cost of the unit - available from consultants now for $270.
Thanks for the review Jack! This looks like a very useful storage system!
Thanks for the great video! I head about these but have never seen one "up close". With the extra cash, I'd have one!

Great review Jack. I'd love to pick up a couple of these to organize our pantry.
and just when i think i have my rotation problems fixed, thanks for the video jack, changes and improves my planning yet again--j
Thank you so much Jack! This will look darned fine in the basement.
Is there anywhere to buy this type of rack these days? Seems the shelfreliance website is dead now.

Thanks Jack, this product is definitely going on my prep list.
What can be put on top to extend its use in storage?
Fabulous. I will be discussing this with my wife.

Looks like a great product. I wish I could afford it but I am just getting started with my preps.
Rock on Jack! Great Job with the review. I love my units for their flexibility too!

Very informative video. Great job and thank you for sharing!
they must be out of bus. Do they have a different website
I just love this system. Hopefully I can find something similar in the Uk.

Where can I purchase one?
Are these guys still in business? when you click the products on their website it takes it to a 404 not found page.
No this video is from 2010.
Really cool. I'm going to have to get one of those.
I've been wondering how this thing works looks good
Hey the shelfreliance.com website doesn't seem to exist anymore. Is there an update or anything? Thanks!
For Members Support Brigade I guess that would be $319.99 - another 7% ($22.40) or a total of $297.59. That is a great price for a superior product.
I want one of those! Kind of expensive though. Looks like great quality
Great review! Thanks!
Good review, but seems a bit high priced, even with the discount.
Awesome video
Thank You! Liked, Shared, etc.
Love it
Well done - Thanks!
Good Information!

#10 cans are great but if a #10 can hold 100 or more serving BUY PANTRY CANS INSTEAD.
Oh, agree about instructions otherwise I love my two
Here in coronavirus time!
Nice but who really eats that much canned food unless you`re starving?
People who store food are seldom "starving" which is sort of the point here.
with no power, your house will be too hot, looks like alot of wasted space in between levels.

@EthicsofAmbiguity what ever dude.
skn1949 > you can only use one coupon code. So you get the 7% off or the other offer, not both.
You say "actually" waaaaaaaayyy too much, but I appreciate the review.
