Alajane Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I just bought new shelves and "redid" my candle room--I'm so excited about it; I've been looking for shelves for quite a while and my daughter ran across these at Sam's. Hopefully I can now get the picture to post--I can't find instructions so this is an experiment.The picture quality is horrible--I had to go really low to get the picture to post, so I'll add more pictures that are cropped. I just wanted to show you the full display.Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 I can't find how to edit the thread and obviously I didn't know how to size the picture!I'll try again with a different picture and hopefully the moderator will resize that one.

Ginger Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I REALLY like your shelves. I've been looking for shelves that are sturdy enough to hold the weight of candles. Do you mind saying what brand they are and where you found them? Thanks,Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Holy cow - I envy you!! I WISH I had shelves like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna-Do Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Dang! That's a lot of candles!Reminds me that I'd better get busy! LOLNice shelves too...If you don't mind me asking, how much were they at Sam's? I could use some of them in my store room. Donna-Do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon WY Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I want those shelves, actually I NEED those shelves! Very nice. Looks like you have been busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcobane Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Those look like they are from Lowes or what was Eagle hardware lawn and Garden or Organizer store. Just a guessNice displays A++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Nice! Like the 7 shelf version - we've got the 5 shelf ones from Costco... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 This shelf contains miscellaneous candles--some odds and ends and some that I've tested and will make more of. And the arms that are sticking out in front of the left-hand side of the shelf belong to the display for my clamshell tarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks so much for your nice comments. These shelves came from Sam's Club. I've been looking for a couple of months (and bugging you people on here about it). I was out of town last weekend and my daughter called me from Sam's and told me about them. I told her they sounded exactly like what I wanted so she got two sets for me. When we got them put together we liked them so much, hubby and I went back and got 2 more sets.This room has been such a mishmash of cast-off bookcases and shelves, it's wonderful to get it somewhat organized looking--I often have people come to the house to buy candles and I'm so happy to have a decent looking display finally!Now down to business--the shelves were around $67 each; they're 48 x 18, 72 inches tall, 6 shelves per unit. And each shelf is rated to hold either 500 or 600 pounds (can't remember exactly which). (Sorry, I don't remember the brand.)I know I had looked at this kind of shelves in the past and thought they were much too expensive. Don't know if this is a really good price or if it's just that I've been looking for so long and had finally accepted that this is about what they would cost. It's in the price range of the heavy-duty shelves at Lowe's and Home Depot that look like they should be in a workshop. That's what I was planning to get and was so happy to find these that actually look nice and hold a lot of weight!Sorry I'm rambling--I'm just so excited!!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleOH Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 WOW!! I am so jealous. Looks like you have been busy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcobane Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Never apologize for words when your excited.Wise investment the price is about right. My only suggestion is watch for creap and sag but they will out last most others easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I love the shelves! And looks like you've been busy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yep, drcobane--about the "creap and sag"--the shelves that I have in my workroom are the heavy duty plastic ones and I noticed the other day that they're sagging a tiny bit in the middle of the shelves. I was hoping I wouldn't have that problem with these chrome ones--the box said each shelf would support either 500 or 600 pounds, so I know I can't fit that many candles on each shelf.Now my adult kids can't move back home--or even visit overnight! My daughter's room (the larger one) is now my candle-making room (and supply storage) and son's room is the "display and store." If I could only get the workshop room organized like this, it would be absolutely amazing!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 WOW! You have been rather busy there! The shelves look great as do the candles...nice job.I can see why you are excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcobane Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 GratsOn the shelves if you are handy with tools you can make metal or wooden wedges to add support on each level down and put 2 in the dead center all the way down should increas life spawn by 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Those are REALLY nice shelves! I dream of having storage like that one day. Waiting for my son to move out ... I plan to take over his bedroom once he's gone!! Alas, I'll have to wait a while. He won't graduate high school until next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Bev, like I said, I took over both my kids' rooms! I even moved the cat's food out of this room last night!Unfortunately, that year until your son graduates will pass much too fast!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
