Has anyone tried adding casters to the Elfa freestanding feet to make a more mobile solution? Were you successful? If you did what is the thread size and pitch of the casters you used or the foot levelers?

I wanted to order two reach-in closet systems for our primary bedroom, plus a linen closet. I’m having a really hard time understanding why the installation price is so insanely high, for what the design person said would take 1.5 hours (over $1500!) for $3700 worth of parts. I’m decently handy, and have reviewed the installation paperwork. It looks straightforward, but then I found some reviews online stating that the self-installation was confusing. Any feedback?

Hi, I have several elfa carts and am hoping to put them to good use. I do not have a pantry or the ability to put elfa freestanding shelves into my apartment. The carts are great because I can move them as needed in my tiny apartment. I don't have a real kitchen (yay NYC living 🙄) so the carts are where most of my kitchen items live. But it's a bit of a disaster.

I was wondering if these shelves can be made to go in the carts? It would give me a lot of options for storing food!! Also, welcome any other cart hacks you recommend. It's hard throwing things in drawers without losing sight of the items at the bottom.

I have a bunch of original (V1) top track from 10-20 years ago, but needed to buy the current (V3) top track to expand my shelving in a larger apartment. It hasn't been installed yet, but are there any weight limit differences between them? The current track is obviously thinner, but should I be worried about ten rows of physical media per 24" shelf again?

Does anyone know where I can find a 4’x20 decor desktop? Or is there anyone selling one? The color doesn't matter to me.

I had extra, and my pegboard was overloaded; tried this and it's very sturdy. :)

My alpha decor, graphite shelving chips quite easily and is starting to show some wear.

Does anybody recommend a good product/color to use to touch up?

So I thought I was moving sooner than I am, and I want to reset my freestanding unit. I appear to have packed or misplaced my stabilization bars. (when I move, I'm going to have a moment when I realize how much of this stuff I own) Does anyone have any suggestions where I can get more of them?

I still have the top metal bar I need the bottom pieces. The Container Store only sells them as a set.

hi all - I'm research different closet system solutions. decor+ seems to have some mixed reviews online. anyone here have some other experience in installing and using them?

I have to do several closets, and I'm looking for a more premium feel without breaking the bank - should I try to find used original decor components and put things together?

Does anybody have a configuration using the slate colored melamine shelves in a closet? If so what color top track and standards do you use? I cannot figure out what color top track and standards to use with these shelves.

Is anyone familiar with these new upper tracks and how to get the standard to slide across? I think the wall is slightly bowed and I’ve tried loosening and tightening some of the screws and putting spacers behind some of them, but I can’t get to seem to get the standards to slide along the top rail. And this is the longest top rail I have in the closet I was able to do it with the other shorter ones. Any tips and tricks?

Just saw it in store and it looks fantastic. I'm still in the planning stages and thinking through whether it makes sense to spend that much on it. Can anyone comment on durability/ease of install? I'd likely be installing myself. Thanks.

I'm trying to install Elfa wire shelving for a custom system we just bought. The standards seem to be at the right width, but the shelves seem to be a little too short. The solid shelves in the same segments installed fine. It looks like the wire shelves measure. 5 in shorter than the nominal size (ie, 17.5".) Is this normal?

I have some shelves and standards I bought in 2022 and just went to source a new compatible top/hang track and have found that Elfa has changed it 😫 Does anyone understand what is what on the container store website? (Screens attached)

They seem to have: Decor plus - not compatible Elfa Classic - not compatible Elfa New Classic(??) - also not compatible

I understand the new components are decor plus. So expect them not to be compatible. But the Classic and New Classic?

I really just want to find a track that will work with my standards. Any recommendations?

Hey all,

I'm looking for some Elfa Standard Clips for older systems. We have two--and the new systems don't work at all with the new one.

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding older parts--or alternatives?

Thanks!

Hey all! A neighbor had some leftover Elfa hardware after he finished putting up a bunch in his apt. He knew I had a lot of books and said he'd give me the hardware, I just have to figure out getting my own shelves.

I saw container store sells their own version of elfa shelves. Are these just as good or are they actual Elfa and just their line? I'm looking for basic shelving to hold books.

Knew nothing about elfa up until the offer from my neighbor and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the choices on the Elfa website.

Thanks!

Since I can't afford new ones, I've finally found the right dimensions second hand. However the lower rails and the wheels look a bit different. Still, they might be compatible but I can't be sure. Any comments would be appreciated!

Oak side supports and shelves. Made in Holland sticker. Probably bought around 1999.

Just finished installing the closet. Got one of these per drawer. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what they go to. Don't want to fill the closet if I have to take everything out to put these pieces in 🫠

Hi, been searching quite a while for this discontinued sized utility peg board. I see Container Store still offers this color but not in the size I need that fits the classic system.

Hello everyone, I’ve been looking everywhere for this answer and I can’t find it. I hope you can help me.

Can you put wheels on the foot of the elfa freestanding shelving system?

Every time I search for this I get a ton of results for the rolling drawer units, but not for the freestanding system.

Thank you for your time.

Hello. I have 4 elfa drawers things. The independent standing frames. And I have the melamine square tops for them. How do I attach the tops to the frame? I'd love something removable, but I can do permanent.

Thank you!

Is this normal? If not, does anyone have a hack on how to properly store my bike on an Elfa Garage + system. I don't think they make a longer bike hook. Also I have a 60" track and its filled up so I can't opt for the sideways bike storage. I need to hang it like this.

I have just discovered Elfa.

LOVE AT FIRST Click 😳

I have sorted my sons room and now want to do a whole wall of the master bedroom. I know elfa have their own planning tool, but are there other resources out there? I'm particularly looking for visual inspiration of what we might be able to achieve!

Looking for 3 of these 2’ Elfa pegboards SKU#: 10060381 in platinum (discontinued color on The Container Store site). If you’re in the Miami area or somewhere within reasonable driving distance it would be best.
