What is metal shelving and when should I use it?

Metal industrial shelving uses steel uprights and wire or solid steel shelf decks, with no decorative laminate covering. It is used in storage rooms, warehouses, mailrooms, and other utility environments where load capacity (200–500 lbs per shelf) and durability outweigh aesthetics. Commercial office environments typically use laminate bookcases. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we carry both metal industrial shelving and decorative laminate bookcases — call 1-800-460-0858.
