We did the elfa shelving in our old apartment, and it was a lifesaver! Actually, I know this sounds random but we're moving out this week and aren't taking it with us - if you happen to live in NYC I'd love to give it to you so it doesn't go into the dumpster? Drop me a blog comment if you're interested... LOVE your blog, by the way!

It's cute! It totally reminds me of this DIY Project from d*s (http://www.designspongeonline.com/2008/04/diy-project-susannahs-atlas-inspired-shelves.html)...If you're handy, you could make it work on the cheap!

I love it! It's perfect!

We've used that type of shelving in our kitchen, bathroom and office. We love it. My suggestions are to make it pretty (the rails can be painted, shelves can be lined) or you'll go insane after a year, and not to skimp on the support. The brackets are cheap (Home Depot sells a version of the Elfa shelving) and you'll appreciate it when your shelves don't bow.

Paint the rails and the bottom brackets with metal paint. You should be able to find something that coordinates or blends into your wall color.

I like it. The white rails don't stick out because all the other accessories are also white and they tie everything together.

we have a similar set-up from elfa that the previous owners of our house installed.

You can see it here, in this picture (from the listing - our office is way too messy now for me to be sharing any pics, lol!): http://tinyurl.com/l3oa8v -- here's another picture of the other half of the room (as you can see, it's a pretty small space): http://tinyurl.com/npejhv

Like PP mentioned, I'd consider the platinum rails -- that's what we have. And also take into consideration the wall color and the shelves themselves, which may further disguise the hardware.

I like the concept too. But I'm just not a huge fan. It wouldn't "go" in our apartment, but it might be great in your place.

I think the concept is great...one I wish I had seen before I bought our current desk.

That being said - I hate the rails. Even in a different color, I think they are too....hrm...work-shoppy looking. I think you could do nearly the same thing without the rails using wall anchors and shelves - the local hardware store should be able to help.

Good luck.

Go for it! They also have the rails (and other pieces) in platinum. The Elfa system is awesome and I can't say enough wonderful things about it! It's easy to put together and you can take the whole thing with you to a new home and add shelves or baskets and make it into a closet system, or keep it as your desk.
