Don’t You Just Love (D.I.Y.) Stories With a Happy Ending?

With so much to worry about these days … some of it real, some of it just imagined, but all of it banging inside our collective heads … is it any wonder we love stories with a happy ending?

Lost dogs who find their way home?

Cinderella’s dreams come true?

Children who overcome long odds?

Happy endings are especially therapeutic when the stories are our own! 

That is why working the customer service desk at Shelves That Slide might be the best job in the company.

Now in its 28^th year, Shelves That Slide was once a small manufacturer that specialized in building cupboard and cabinet units for nearby custom homes.

Today, a majority of the company’s sales are completed online, with products shipped to do-it-yourselfers in all 50 states.

As Simple as 1, 2, 3

The keys to its success?  Quality products, extraordinary customer service, and word-of-mouth marketing. For example:

“I put your pullout shelves in my cabinet this morning, and they work great,” a customer named Russ reported.  “The units are well-constructed. The installation was simple. The shelves slide easily and stop on a dime.  I’m really glad I found you guys and will proudly recommend you to my friends.” 

Shelves That Slide offers a wide range of cupboard and cabinet products designed to reduce wasted space and improve accessibility.

We all have cabinet shelves we can’t reach without a stool … or kneepads. Shelves that slide or roll make it easy to reach the depths of your storage space. 

The win-win-win comes from the fact they are inexpensive and easy to install yourself.

“This is the second house where we have ordered your sliding shelves for kitchen cabinets,” Texans Henry and Phyllis wrote. “We are just as pleased as we were 7 years ago. The order was perfect. Installation was smooth. It’s nice to have quality products made in the U.S.A. by a company that delivers as advertised. 

Shelves Are Easy on the Knees

Shelves That Slide work in almost every room of the house, for a wide variety of applications.

“Thank you!” began Bill. “Your rolling shelf arrived. It was a perfect fit for my bathroom vanity. Now us old people don’t have to get on our knees to find things in the bathroom!”

“My wife and I were having an organizational problem in our R.V. pantry,” Phil said. “Your shelves solved the problem. Plus, they were a snap to install. Thanks!”

Are you tired of seeing unsightly wastebaskets marring the looks of your kitchen or den? Meet Sue. “I was successful in installing a rollout shelf for my garbage can. This is such an improvement. Thank you for your help!

From time to time, Shelves That Slide receives a letter like this, from Geoff.

Do Your Shelves Come With Seat Belts?

“Dear Shelves That Slide Gurus, 

“I received our rolling shelf today and have installed it already. Thank you for making such a great product and delivering it ahead of the promised time. It sure is strong! My wife has enjoyed riding on this one all afternoon! I keep reminding her the shelf is for canned goods in our pantry, but she doesn’t listen. Do you have any shelves that come with a seat belt?”  

For those small, wasted corners some of us have in cabinets and cupboards, a custom-fitted  Lazy Susan might improve the accessibility and utility of your now-wasted space.

Even in the day of online warehouses and social media advertising, word-of-mouth still trumps ‘em all.

“Have your ears been burning?” Teri asks.  “I have been online and on the phone all weekend bragging about the wonderful shelves we just installed. They look fabulous, and I have to say they work well in the cupboards of a 1920s Colonial home. Good job to all that made them. We will definitely be ordering more!”

Finally, Shelves That Slide earned high marks from a professional. Meet David:  “I ordered 20 shelves to cover our kitchen, bath and bar areas. Having worked as a carpenter and cabinet-maker, I was surprised at the quality of the shelves and brackets. I installed 19 of the shelves in less than a day. You are to be commended for producing quality products, at a fair price, and proudly made in America. You all should be proud to be part of such a fine company!”
