How To: Install an Elfa® Shelf

Click here to get started: bit.ly/2FmUv8D
Available only at The Container Store, our White elfa Ventilated Shelves come in three convenient depths and four convenient lengths. You'll be able to find just the one that fits your space. Use the 12" depth for hall closets, children's closets and shallow pantry storage. The 16" depth is ideal for a linen or standard closet storage. The 20" depth is perfect for garage storage shelving or wherever deep shelving is desired. Two White elfa Ventilated Shelf Brackets are required to support every 36" of ventilated shelf length. We can cut these shelves to any length free of charge. Contact Us for details.

these shelves are the death of me NOTHING SNAPS THAT EASY INTO PLACW

[@karenkontact9633]

That actually worked for me. Put the brackets in and then tilt and snap. I couldn’t figure it out before

[@erikm9768]

This is extremely frustrating and this "how to" helps nothing at all

[@Merlimews]

I'm rehanging after painting a closet and there's NOTHING about de-coupling the shelf from the bracket! No one else does this? That was the appeal, that I could add to/change when need arose, but there's no diagram how to reverse the snap in place moment

[@peeetie1]

You grasp the cross support at the back of the shelf and pull up while pulling the shelf toward you.

I need more information-- what all do I need to buy? I wish you had a list on the website: in order to install you need this, this, and this; all with links.

Yeah... Right.... Sure it's that easy😢😢😢

[@allihandley4547]

I rearranged my closet and these shelves will not snap into place. 😩😩😩

[@waiheketranscend]

@@allihandley4547 I eventually found a UA-cam which sort of shows him balancing the shelf on the correct spot, then pushing it to the back & down at the same time. It works then. Good luck!! 😂

@@allihandley4547 I'm just trying to add one additional shelf, and OMG - so many life regrets rn.

If anybody in the UK is looking for help installing or buying Elfa please get in touch

[@LadyKaollasu]

That is the worst angle

[@SpottedLop]

There's some serious sorcery going on in this video. These do not install that easily. That's why I'm on UA-cam looking for videos. This one was not helpful.
