wire shelving

Grid-style open shelves

Wire shelving is storage shelving made from metal wire arranged in a grid pattern, allowing air circulation and visibility of contents.

Common in kitchens, closets, and garages, it's lightweight, adjustable, and typically coated to resist rust: We installed wire shelving in the pantry.

The open design prevents dust accumulation but can leave marks on items.
