Yeah, I got all the extras. ;) Thanks again for the heads up! BTW, the instructions said that I could use an electric drill with a nut driver head. Well, I tore the heads off of two of the bolts. So I tried to learn how to use a screw extractor, but that failed, so it's about 3 inches from where I wanted it mounted. Need to decide if the second goes in the laundry room or not. Wish I had taller ceilings, it doesn't give me a lot more vertical space than a tall Rubbermaid shelf did... Just installed the first one today.

However, I decided to buy from the company directly, even tho the shipping is INSANE. That's because the one size up is only $26 and says "Free 4 pack add on storage hooks and add on rack with purchase of White unit." which would be a great deal. For two of those, it's $95 shipped, vs. two of the smaller on Amazon, plus hooks, for $90. Plus the extra two shelves. However, it didn't say anything on the order page about the hooks and shelf, so I put in the comments section that if the hooks and second shelf are not included to contact me before charging. They came in today; haven't opened the (three) boxes but the packing slip does say qty 2 of each! I was going to buy the one on Amazon ($35 plus free shipping) and a set of hooks ($10).

I use them to store my grandkids summer stuffand also have some of my wife's stuff up there. Notice that my stuff is not there,no room.

I like these. Of course working overhead is a bit of a pain in the neck (literally), but they do a good job of holding infrequently used "stuff". Installing mine I installed cross-bracing to dampen swinging when loading, but a second set of hands would do the same. (Now we have that out of the way…)

My problem is that I can't throw anything away. I always feel like I might be able to use that scrap of XYZ for something someday. Any suggestions? BTW, I finally took a load of stuff to GoodWill and to Habitat for Humanity. I felt much better afterwards, but I still have too much stuff! I totally agree that we have too much stuff.

More storage just promotes the addiction to stuff. Americans have too much stuff. More storage just promotes the addiction to stuff.
