Read All About It: Print isn’t Dead yet, and until it is, you’ll need Magazine Shelves.
February 14, 2009
As I’m writing this article on a computer, writing this article for a BLOG, it’s a little hypocritical of me to say that print is here to stay. Alright, you got me. Print IS dead. But while we wait for the older generation of humans to die — the generation that refuses to go online, refuses to become tech-savvy, and refuses to set the VCR clock — we can continue to print magazines and newspapers. We can be merciful. (As an aside, isn’t it great that some of these old-timers never bothered to learn how to set a VCR clock? Now they don’t have to! The VCR is gone! Although trying to explain to them that BluRay is the perfect format to view Barney Miller is no consolation.)
In offices, school guidance centers, retirement homes, corner markets, and maybe even your home, there is still a lingering need for a magazine shelf. I wondered if I would even FIND magazine shelves for sale in this day and age. Maybe on eBay I thought. In the antique section. But no! It turns out that a website still offers them, and terrific ones to boot! The website? Organize-It!

Look at this amazing Solid Wood Literature Rack. Available in your choice of Medium Oak, Light Oak, or Dark Mahogany finish, it’s a Magazine Rack that can be purchased to complement your decor! That’s a nice convenience to the seeker of Literature Racks. Solid Oak, the rack is constructed of Solid Oak, and why not. If you’re going to read and discard periodicals made from the pulp of deforested trees, why not place them on a rack made of Solid Oak? The Rack is almost a defacto advertisement for magazines and newspapers, just by existing! It’s wide, durable, and deep enough to hold more than a few pieces of your favorite literature. Stop by Organize-It and order up this wonderful addition to the office, or home, or wherever you need it.
The 800 Pound Elephant in the Kitchen.
February 9, 2009
If you’re like me, you are always in need for extra storage in the kitchen or pantry. Well, I’ll give you some sage advice: invest in the toughest shelves you can afford. The tougher the better. Because your kitchen is going to become a whirlwind tornado of activity and bowls and splattering of food and cans and boxes of raw material (if you cook at home). And equipment, lord knows you’re going to need shelves for your kitchen equipment. Well, that equipment is heavy, so you’re going to need the best, and the toughest. How about a wire shelving unit that can handle 800 pounds?

This Heavy-Duty Storage Shelf is a triumph. I found it over at Organize-It while looking for new and innovated shelves. Mission accomplished. It holds 200 lbs (evenly distributed) per shelf! This Shelf Unit is tougher than anything I’ve found in a garage, or a closet, or a wall shelf, or even a bookshelf. It’s one tough customer. But wait, now that I think about it, it COULD work for them as well! The metal shelves would be great for the garage for tools and paint cans, pitch-perfect in the pantry, and lovely in the living room for your tv and dvds! Each kit comes with four wire shelves, which are fully height adjustable, and four poles. This is a tough shelving system.
Highest Possible Recommendation.
A Shelf’s Industrial Duty.
February 4, 2009
I live my life at an exceptionally high level of organization and cleanliness, but, to be fair, my garage is a disgusting mess. A disaster. Way too many boxes (albeit color-coded and stacked according to contents), power tools and automotive canisters organized by weight, National Geographic Magazines, and an array of paint cans containing the entire spectrum of Dutch Boy colors (just in case I need them). With all of that going on, I’m going to need some powerful shelving to beat back the clutter. And I found a winner over at Organize-It.

In the past I’ve covered the best in shelving categories for the home, but what I’ve found here is Industrial. The Industrial 5 Shelf Storage Unit. It’s a powerhouse, a sturdy dynamo, and it’s ready-made to meet the needs my overstocked garage demands. For me, the garage; for you, perhaps the office or home, because the Industrial Duty 5 Shelf Storage Unit will do it’s duty anyplace you need it to serve.
Like all good modern shelving units, this tough customer features sturdy steel posts and beams with smooth, rust-resistant baked-on enamel finish. It holds up to 4000 lbs, and it assembles easily. And that’s all it took to get my garage back to manageable.
The Industrial Duty 5 Shelf Storage Unit. Highly Recommended.
