Adjustable Shelf

Extra shelves in every width and both depths — 3/4 inch, edge-banded on the front face.

In short

What it is for.

Shelves are the cheapest way to change what a closet does. Add three to a tower and it becomes a linen store; take two out and it becomes a boot bay. Available in all five widths and both depths, edge-banded on the visible face.

  • Same pin patternDrops onto the 32 mm system holes already in every tower.
  • Edge-banded frontThe one face you touch is sealed, so the core never picks up moisture from damp hands or steam.
  • Cheap to change your mindReconfiguring shelf heights and counts costs shelves, not cabinets.

Storage

How this one is specified.

The cheapest change you can make to a finished closet is a shelf. Every one in the program sits on the same 32 mm pin pattern, so adding, removing or re-spacing costs a component and ten minutes rather than a carpenter and a morning. A closet that cannot be re-spaced is a closet that fits the year it was installed.

Widths match the towers — 18, 21, 24, 30 and 36 inches — in both 15 and 24 inch depths, so a shelf ordered three years after the run is the same part in the same finish. That is the practical meaning of a cataloged component program: the SKU still exists.

Panels are 3/4 inch with a matched decor band on the front face. The thickness is what keeps a loaded shelf flat over a full-width span, and the banded front is what stops the exposed edge from chipping where hands and hangers actually touch it.

Every size above is built in any of the six finishes; pulls, LED strips and pull-out hardware come from the accessories and hardware catalog.

Questions

About the Adjustable Shelf.

  • Which brand of adjustable shelving is best?

    The useful question is not which brand but which hole pattern, because that is what decides whether you are still free in five years. Shelving drilled to the 32 mm system standard accepts shelves, rails, shoe racks and pull-outs from anyone who builds to the same pattern, so a bay can be re-planned without replacing the cabinet. Proprietary patterns and clip-in wire systems lock you to one supplier and one shelf depth. ClosetX towers are drilled to the 32 mm pattern for exactly this reason, and shelves are sold separately in all five widths and both depths, which means changing your mind later costs shelves rather than cabinets. Ask any supplier three things: the hole spacing, the shelf thickness, and whether the front edge is banded.

  • What thickness are ClosetX shelves?

    3/4 inch cabinet-grade melamine, edge-banded on the front face, in widths from 18 to 36 inches and depths of 15 or 24 inches.

  • What thickness are closet shelves?

    3/4 inch cabinet-grade melamine with a matched decor band on the front face. The thickness is what keeps a loaded shelf flat across a full-width span.

  • Can shelves be added to a closet after installation?

    Yes. Every shelf sits on the same 32 mm pin pattern and every width and depth stays a cataloged SKU, so a shelf ordered years later is the same part in the same finish.
