Background: I saw on Bored Panda that one can turn dish racks into floating book shelves relatively easily. Just a few Command hooks at the top, hang it vertically and *boom* bookshelf. I bought way too many books for my New Year's resolution to read more and my current bookshelf is overflowing. I do not have the space for another standing bookshelf, so this seemed like an easy way to create more shelving without taking up floor space.The dish racks/ shelves: They are solidly built. The rungs are an inch and a half apart vertically and 5 inches apart horizontally. The rungs cannot be pulled out (much to my dismay). One would have to break them out, if they wanted more than an inch and a half between them. I mention this because it limited the size of the books I could put in between the rungs.Setting up the shelves and putting in the books: I put a single nail into the drywall at the top of the dish rack. I like the idea of using Command strips, but I don't like hearing a thump in the middle of the night and wondering if it was my books falling to the ground or an intruder. The single nail worked very well. I found out soon enough that this means of shelving works best for thinner hardcover books or thicker paperbacks. The rungs only extend about 3 inches, so some of my books "slump" (see pic). I fixed this by putting either paperboard or cardboard beneath the book and the problem was solved (see other pic).Overall, I love the look and have found a great way to display my books. I don't have to take the entire stack off the shelf to access the books on the bottom. I cleared out 46 books from my standing bookshelf! So, now all my books thicker than 1 inch are in my standing bookshelf and all my thinner books are in my floating shelves. I wish they had a commenting feature on Amazon reviews because I'd love to see what you all come up with. Painted floating shelves. If you broke off a few rungs and liked to be able to put your big books in them too. Please leave reviews if you do this too! I'd love to see where your creativity take you! :)

I use this as a small painting drying rack. It comes assemble and is sturdy. There's plenty of room between the posts to keep my smaller paintings (and dishes, I'm guessing) well apart. It's exactly what I needed so my smaller canvases don't get lost in the big rack.

This is a very simple design that works out great for us.

It's attractively designed and works well, but it's made of unfinished bamboo. I didn't think anything of that until I picked it up yesterday to clean the counter and discovered that accumulated moisture had caused black mold to grow on the bottoms and sides of the rails.I couldn't scrub it off. I could probably sand it off, but life is too short. I'll probably buy a new one and coat it with polyurethane before I use it. If you buy one, be sure to do the same!

it is a great product for organization. I have a couple of them as they were easy to assemble and have a really good quality. I have used them as a book organizer, as plates organizer and even kids purses organizer.Size is perfect as will fit in many standard furniture
