ABest Modular Wall System

Elfa (sold by The Container Store in the US) hangs everything from a single top track screwed to the wall: hang standards drop from the track, and brackets, shelves, drawers and rods click into them, so you can move a shelf or add a drawer without new holes once the track is up. Elfa rates the system at 200 kg per section (the span between two standards), a wire shelf at 40 kg in 45 or 60 cm sections and 30 kg in 90 cm sections, and a closet rod at up to 45 kg in a 90 cm section. The honest limitation is cost: a full Elfa wall is typically priced well above a comparable PAX run, and the open design shows everything you store.

Pros

  • Top-track design lets you move shelves, drawers and rods without drilling new holes
  • Maker-published load table: 200 kg per section, 30–40 kg per wire shelf, up to 45 kg per closet rod
  • Elfa states a 10-year warranty from the date of purchase

Cons

  • Usually costs much more than PAX for the same wall width; open design shows all stored items
  • The top track must be screwed into a wall strong enough for the load, with fixings suited to the wall material
