Be sure to use a tape measure before buying measure the exact size (length, width and height) of the placement, and pay special attention to the location of the corner line, switches and sockets to avoid being unable to fit in or blocking the way. Think clearly about what to put: stacking books and magazines? Choose solid wood or metal racks with strong load-bearing capacity and deep shelves. Placing green plants for decoration? The spacing between the shelves should be large, and metal or glass materials with good light transmittance are lighter. Stocking up daily necessities miscellaneous items? The closed design with drawers and boxes is more messy.

3. Design details enhance the user experience

Adjustable shelves: double the flexibility! It is also convenient to change the layout of the Storage Rack in different seasons.
