Adding sliding shelves to pantry

[EnricoG]

My 25bhs has deep and narrow shelves in the pantry cabinet to the right of the fridge. Because of the shape, it makes getting to things at the back a real pain, and ultimately it's difficult to make good use of the space. I am planning on putting in sliding shelves to allow us to use the space better. I know a few people build their own shelves, but I was wondering if anyone has purchased ones from slidingshelves.com or some other place they were happy with.

I have looked all over and am amazed at the prices being asked for these. Going to make my own...sorry, that doesn't help you much.

Nice clutch. That is exactly what I want to do. Not sure I have the time, patience or skill to make decent looking shelves myself so I figure dropping $250 to get custom made ones isn't too bad.

I looked into buying sliding shelves and they were too expensive for my pocketbook. I went to Target and found some Rubbermaid trays that fit in my cabinets quite nicely. I bought a long tray and a short tray to go in each shelf. That way I only had to pull out the short tray and could reach the long tray and pull it forward. Not a perfect solution but it was a whole lot cheaper.

EnricoG, The local school band teacher made them for us. Total cost was $200 and it was well worth it. The hardware came from Lowes or Home Depot. Get the heavy duty ones.
