FYI for anyone interested in 16 inch deep wire shelves from ClosetMaid
These shelves have a fatal flaw--the front-to-back wires are too thin to support the weight of the shelf, especially if you install a "superslide" rod. For a 12" shelf, the thin wires are strong enough because the shelf isn't super deep. But the 16" shelf is just too deep. You'll find, after loading the shelf (especially with a superslide rod), it will sag transversely along the thicker perpendicular wires. If you're putting up anything heavier than towels, stick with the 12" wire shelves or get a stronger material. Don't be a dum-dum like me! submitted by /u/-nyctanassa- [link] [comments]
