Ask me anything: shelving




Reader Question: Where can I get affordable used shelves? They don’t have to be fantastic as I’m just putting them in my basement storage room.


My Answer: Great question! If you are looking for something functional and pre-owned that doesn’t need to fit your home’s design style – or your partner’s approval – there are some good options locally. My favorite is UW Swap because I love an industrial cabinet, but all of the following are worth checking:


Craigslist

https://madison.craigslist.org/


Facebook Marketplace

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/madison/


Freecycle

https://www.freecycle.org/town/MadisonWI


Habitat for Humanity ReStore

UW Swap

Do you have a burning question you’ve always wanted to ask me? Email your question to melanie@resetorganizing.com for me to answer in a future edition of the Reset Gazette newsletter. I will answer a question each month of 2023.


It can be about anything – paper clutter, kitchen organization, time management, working with an older relative to downsize, where to donate specialty items, how to stay motivated, and more.
