I need advice.

I just ordered a shipment of Metro Shelving -- the wire shelving one sees
in fancy food stores and the like. If I had normal size ceilings, I
would have gone with the cheaper wire shelving I now see everywhere
(Costco, Sam's), but my laundry room has 10 foot ceilings and I wanted to
get something 8 feet high.

I thought I got a pretty good price -- a significant discount off what I
see in the stores. But now I'm wondering if I'm paying for the name. I
found a site that sells Nexel shelving, at about 1/3 less than the
discounted Metro Shelving. I've never seen Nexel in person, but the
pictures make it look quite similar to Metro.

Has anyone actually compared them? Does anyone have experience with
Nexel?

Thanks.

Lori

Nothing is as strong as metro. It is unbeatable for freezers and damp
areas.

Its the exact same thing. Just has a different brand name. Made in same factory, same specs.

This is a very good restaurant supply company. A short time ago they
had a big sale on heavy duty wire shelving... perhaps they can help;
search their web site/phone them for your particular needs:
