1. They Help You Save Money

Installing sliding shelves is a great way to give your kitchen cupboards that update that they need without the costly investment of purchasing brand new cupboard drawers. They give you the same great ease of access to all of your food items, kitchen appliances, and utensils at a fraction of the cost. DIY Shelfworks also sells directly to the consumer, cutting out the need for a middle-man so that we can pass those savings on to you. We also offer free shipping anywhere in Canada – another huge savings for our customers. Click here to see what a great value DIY Shelfworks sliding shelves are.

2. They Help You Save Time

Do you find that you are constantly taking extra time pulling out the items at the front of your cupboards to reach what is on the back of the shelves? Or maybe you spend time just trying to locate the items that you need. Think how much easier it would be if you could simply pull out your shelves and quickly see everything at a glance. That’s an amazing benefit of DIY Shelfworks pull out shelves.

3.They Keep Your Cupboard Organized

Once you have pull out shelves, you won’t believe how much easier it is to keep your cupboards organized. When you can access every part of your shelf, it is so much easier to find things, put them back in their proper place, and keep them neat and tidy. No more bending, stretching, or tossing items inside out of frustration. Simply glide out your shelf and select what you need.

4. They Give You Easy Access

Unlike regular shelves, sliding shelves pull out all the way to allow you to view every item, even those at the very back. They’re great because they do away with the need to get down on your hands and knees to get the hard-to-reach things. Just pull out the smooth gliding shelf and select what you need.

 6. They Are Easy To Measure

It is very easy to accurately take the measurements for your new sliding shelves. Using a tape measure, measure the opening of your cabinet in inches. Subtract one-half inch from your measurement. For example, if your cabinet is 25 inches wide, then write down 24. 5 inches. Measure the depth of your cabinet from front to back in inches. Subtract one-half inch from this measurement too. That’s it. How easy is that! Watch the video below to see for yourself how it is done.

7. They Are Easy To Install

Once your new shelves arrive, you can easily install them yourself by following the simple steps in the following videos. This first video shows you how to install them on a base cabinet or full upper shelf.

8. They Are Custom Made To Fit Perfectly

Our rolling shelves come in three convenient depths: 3″, 5″, and 7″. Each shelf is handcrafted to fit the exact measurements of your cupboards. You won’t have to worry if your shelf will fit or not because our shelves are custom made. You can either choose to install them yourself or, if you prefer, you can have our partner, glidingshelf.ca, do the installation for you.
