I have not seen quality manufacturing like this in decades. THIS is what American manufacturing SHOULD be!The individual parts are sturdy and heavy duty. The quality of the manufacturing process jumps out at you. Every pre-drilled hole is precisely correct - screws went in exactly as they should! The alignment of every hole was exactly where it should be. Every one that should be there was there and where is should be. The parts are solid! There will be no stripping, bending or pulling apart. You just don't find that anymore. I didn't realize how rare it is until I got these!The instructions were simple, clear and understandable! I have to say that twice because it is so worth repeating..... The instructions were simple, clear and understandable! With most things I get today, I'm never really sure what the instructions are saying and generally rely on trial and error to get it right. Not with Rev-a-Shelf. And if all else fails, visit their website and they have a video for installation! (Not that I needed them because the instructions were good. I stumbled on it while searching for products for all my cabinets.)After I bought the "Pull-Out Wood Foil Wrap/Tray Divider Cabinet Organizer" for a base cabinet that was so narrow I knew I wouldn't really be able to use it without a pull-out, I was so impressed with the quality, functionality and the ease of use it gives me, that I bought Rev-a-Self for each of my base cabinets and a couple of the pull out spice racks for a couple of narrow wall cabinets.If you ended up with 9" cabinets in some places, like to provide cosmetic symmetry as I did, those Rev-a-Shelf pull-out gave me back space that I had written off as unusable.But even for normal sized base cabinets, where I would otherwise need to be kneeling on the ground to reach things in the back, and therefore limited on what could actually go there without risking the need to take out everything in front of it to get to it, these have been a fantastic addition. As I got older, bending far down or getting back up from kneeling has become problematic, making these pull-outs great for me.Wish I could give these 10 stars. Quality and workmanship I haven't seen since I was young. Relative to other things I have given 5 stars, it isn't fair I can't give these twice as many stars.The 15" organizers were going into 14.5" cabinets with no wiggle room. Because the cabinet had a trim piece, I had to finish assembling them inside the cabinet. It was awkward but I managed to get it done.That said it would've been helpful to have another set of hands to hold the brackets while I attached the sliders, at least the first couple of screws. I would also caution you to fully support the bracket as you move the frame around to attach the sliders -- when I was done attaching the bottom slider on one side, I was instructed to attach the bottom slider on the other side. When I flipped the bracket over to begin assembly on the other side the slider pulled away from the frame and bent out of shape. I bent it back and it works ok.After the frames were assembled and anchored to the cabinets, I did have great fun attaching the dividers for the pots & pans from the 21" organizer that I also purchasef. It was like putting together a puzzle and a challenge to utilize every available space for a pot/pan/lid.Bottom line is that these organizers have greatly increased the aesthetics of my kitchen while giving me quick & easy access to EVERY pot/pan/lid/storage container that I own which used to be piled into these cabinets with no way to access anything without digging though everything. When testing the sliders, the shelves felt tight but after working them back and forth, they smoothed out. The shelves do pull out completely and feel stable although I believe that I will be careful not to pull out both shelves at the same time as I believe that may just be too much weight on the frame even though it is screwed into the base of the cabinets. I just don't want to push the envelope.Given the choices available, if you're not interested in investing a fortune, I'd recommend these organizers.This pull-out double-decker shelf is a marvel, once installed.But there's an error in the instructions. It says you can install it in 20 minutes. They mean an hour and 20 minutes-- and this was by an experienced handyman.If there's no way to enhance the verbal instructions, larger and better illustrations would help.Now that it's installed, it is great: sleek looks, smooth rolling, and feels very sturdy. I recommend it highly.I've purchased and installed three of these. Two are in a big cabinet. One, I had to build a cabinet face. I love how sturdy these are!I'd originally planned on a complete kitchen update to include a total demo and new pull out cabinets. Instead, I added pull out shelves to the existing cabinets, had some custom handles made, and painted. While I have to open the cabinets in order to slide out the shelves, everything fits. And these pull outs can adjust the height on the top rack (which effectively adjusts the height of both shelves). It's super convenient being able to access one shelf at a time. I'm very happy with how everything looks, and functions. The best part is I was able to achieve the pull out access I wanted to update without having to spend thousands on new cabinets. And while new kitchen cabinets would look a little better and have about another inch of cabinet depth per shelf, saving about three grand was much better. Plus, everything I own easily fits.The only mod I had to made was using my own steel anchor screws instead of what the kit provided. Their screws are super crappy and are made of a shorter and softer steel that I feel would strip out from long term use. I'm holding a small convection oven on one rack, and a large crock pot on another. And I want the anchoring system to match the super high quality of the racks themselves which handle a very heavy, but little convection oven with ease. Plus, the racks look really great!I'd totally buy these again.Just want I wanted for my kitchen, fantastic, and well build, also fast shippping! I recommend this very much, will order again!Me encantó, bien construida, fuerte u de buena calidad.solid productPerfecto
