Pantry shelves are one of those elements of any kitchen or home that you can never have too much of. Not only are they useful for storing food, pantry shelves provide space for dishes, vases, or occasionally-used appliances. When you need something that you know you put in your pantry, it may take several minutes to find it. Your pantry situation might even be worse than badly disorganized. You may dread opening it because you fear being buried under the mound of everything you have stuffed into it and never being heard from again.
