Skandia shelving

Some of our biggest purchases at The Container Store was for Skandia shelving. We have a fair bit of it and we've owned most of ours for more than 10 years. It's been dismantled, moved around, reconfigured, and we've moved some of it at least twice. Except for the one shelf I left leaking plants on (opps!), it's in wonderful condition. But one of the beauties of Skandia shelving is that you can reconfigure your layout and add or remove individual pieces as needed.

It's not cheap but it's fairly easy to dismantle and move. Given how much storage Skandia shelving provides, once dismantled it doesn't take much space to store or move. Although the end pieces can be pretty tall so you do have to have a vehicle that can accommodate their length.

It's a great choice for anyone who moves a lot and it would be great for college grads or anyone in an apartment. It has clean lines and a contemporary look. We've bought two depths, 15" deep and 11" deep.

It appears that the company behind Skandia shelving now manufactures in the US under the Lundia name, but the pieces purchased at The Container Store and those made by the Lundia in the US are not mixable so whoever you decide to buy from is the one you will have to go back to for additional pieces. In addition, when I looked through the Skandia shelving pieces available via The Container Store web site they don't seem to have some of the options that they used to, specifically shelf/table extensions, drawers, and cabinet door additions. It may be that they are available at the stores themselves. Skandia shelves are heavy so ordering online would be prohibitive except for the occasional extra piece.

While I was wandering around the Lundia site I followed their link to their European site. I wish they'd offer those products here. Wow!
