Origami Shelving

HSN has a good deal on the large origami shelves today. Two large racks for $200. They have new colors too, colors I have never seen before in these shelves like pink, yellow, teal and purple.

I have two large in garage and they work just like described. I recommend leaving the wheels in them if included.

These are tomorrow's Today's Special pre-sale. I have several Origami shelving systems in various sizes and just love them. They are sturdy and hold so much of my 'junque' that would otherwise be strewn all over the place. I use them in my garage as well as in my craft room. Amazon has them for $89 a piece but doesn't have these lovely colors. Great product and great price. I'm loving the new colors. I'll pick up this TS for sure. For all who purchase, you will definitely find plenty of good uses for them.

QVC will have a TSV on an Origami-like shelf unit in a few days. Very large, lots of colors, liners on shelves. I believe it's $99.

I have 12 of the large white shelves. I lined the whole gargage with them and even have one in the kitchen. I just love these shelves. The assembly is practically instantaneous and they hold so much stuff. I highly recommend these shelves. I put the wheels on all of mine because it makes it easier for me to clean under/behind.

I bought a couple from QVC after first buying from HSN and regretted buying the QVC shelves. I figured they would be from the same company, although QVC’s had a different name. I found QVC’s to be of less quality than the HSN shelves I got. Maybe QVC now carries the actual Origami shelves and perhaps the original problems will not be a factor.

I currently have 7 of these shelves, two of them are smaller versions..... 3 reds, 3 shocking blues, 1 red/black mix. I am getting a little antsy for that purple though, or maybe yellow....hmmmmm.

Agree about Q shelves being somewhat inferior. Lighter gauge steel.

I bought them yesterday in the pre-sale. I have the 2 pack from last year and was hoping they have the same deal again and they did. These racks are strong and perform just like they say in the demonstrations. I have blue and I think this time I got the teal. My only complaint about this pack is they are shipped together and the package is heavy for me to maneuver but I did it last year so this year should be the same. These are definitely worth the price.

The offering on Amazon does not say that the wheels come with the shelving. I would not purchase without the wheels. The wheels make it easy to move around.

@Kachina624 - last time the Q had their knock-off version I checked them out. They didn't hold near as much weight as the origami's do. I would definitely double-check that when they offer them again. If that's still the case, the Origami is the better deal.

@Buck-i-Nana I love the Origami colors best (turquoise) but I really don't need two. Everyone raves about the Origami shelves and I see you can even order dust covers for them.

@Kachina624 I have about $1,000 worth of those Origami units........It's the only "furniture" I can easily move by myself !!!!! I'm glad so see the colors back in stock. I like the red & blush for bookcases, and have two coffee tables with the fake wood tops. di

PS.....I'm an old hippie, so I don't mind the "industrial" look (!)

I got one of the largest Origami shelving units a couple of years ago and put it in my office closet, to use as a pantry. It was a great buy.

@Desertdi Where do you use the shelves, garage, house or what? I suppose they could even be used on a covered patio here where it never rains. Hmmmm. I bet red and blush together are pretty.

@Kachina624 I have them in the kitchen, living room, and the bedrooms. This house is pitifully lacking in storage space. I have the do-it-yourself storage racks (from WM) in the garage......put them together myself when I was "MUCH younger".....and I'll never go that route again!

@Desertdi @giddy up @Buck-i-Nana @JeanLouiseFinch

The shelves themselves look flimsy to me. ARE they? I want to put appliances like bread makers, Le Creuset pots, etc. on them!

THANKS for the advice!!!!!!

@Sooner The "heavy duty" ones are very sturdy. You should measure your appliances, and compare with the shelving heights, tho. They are NOT adjustable. di

I purchased two from HSN and then purchased two from Amazon. Amazon was cheaper, I do not move mine so I was not limited by not using the wheels. With Amazon prime it came super fast. I recommend comparing, also Amazon had different items in addition to the large shelving. I have 3 in my garage and it was my best purchase.

@Desertdi THANKS!

What color? I'm thinking Platinum or Pewter? Are they nice? I want something lighter colored. May get that kitchen cart to put in the garage for bread machine, pressure cooker, etc. etc.!

Oh these decisions!!! THANKS1

@Sooner The Origami specs say the shelves hold 250lbs each or a total of 1,000lbs for the unit. Unless you have commercial sized appliances, you ought to be fine.
