Ratings & Reviews for Project Source 72-in L x 0.2-in W x 0.63-in D White Pilaster strip

I would buy this again.

The product is great but I had trouble finding it due to the odd name (Pilaster Strip). In my DIY mind they are shelf standards.

Shelving Pilasters worked well so far.

These six foot tall shelving brackets have worked well so far. I screwed them into "one by" pine boards (1" x 10" x 6') . Our shelves were only about 10 inches wide -- making use of an out-of-the-way place in our kitchen. I believe you can make "channels" or "grooves" for them to lay in, but I don't have a router, so I just surface-mounted them. I used 11 or 12 small screws in each pilaster, approximately one screw every six inches of height. I bought these screws at Lowes: Hillman #4 x 3/4...

Great product for the handyman

For those that want wooden adjustable shelving you can not beat these metal pilasters. Using two by 8 thru two by twelve lumber you can make unbeatable shelving using these strips. A dado blade or router makes for short work in inserting these to make your adjustable shelf.

Excellent for Custom Storage

Exactly what I needed to complete my under-the-workbench storage selves project. Pilaster strips were easily cut to tailored lengths to support an adjustable shelf for tools and parts in my workshop. Cost effective storage solution.

Slots don’t line up

On the surface it looks like a good product. However, given these are meant for supporting shelves and given shelves are ideally level, this product will drive you crazy until you realize that for more than 2 foot sections, the slots will begin to shift and hence not line up. I bought 6 and will have to cut them in pieces to make them work. Great job on your quality control !

Buyer Beware

Bought 4 and all were mismanufactured so the layout of the slots was off by a good 3/16" , no matter how I tried to get the 40" I needed to line up up there were too many irregularities in slot spacing ,see pics, made sure to mark them defective so they just don't go back on the rack to mess up an unaware persons job. now out to another store trying to find a good batch, $50 of running around for $12 worth of product.

Cost effective shelving

I needed to add shelves inside a safe to organize and hold more items. I screwed these strips into 3/4" MDF boards and cut shelves to fit. Worked out great. These do exactly what you are supposed to do. Inexpensive compared to other solutions for shelving.

Shelving Strip

Cut easily with hack saw. Lots of numbers along the way to help with leveling & placing clips. Perfect for my builtins!

No brass, just brass colored

The title is fraudulently misleading. It should be called brass colored. The label that is put on is impossible to remove. In fact, soaking in hot water for an hour caused the screw holes to rust. If you need the full 72" perhaps your technique to remove the label is better than mine...

This product will help you to make plenty...

This product will help you to make plenty of shelves. If you are looking for inexpensive solution for closet organizer, it will be what you are looking for. You'll need also shelves it self. In reg. size closet (2x4)- it will be about $80.00 . It depended on a size and shelf deepness, plus labour.

So So

The strips were wavey, When they were fabracated the machine did a poor job of bending a90 degree angle. It could also be a little heavier metal.

A great shelf bracket .... but

These shelf standards are well made, sturdy, have more than adequate number of holes for securing them to the wall and are smoothly powder coated. But, like many products, these have a long paper label glued to the front side of the part. The glue will not release and requires the label be removed by scraping (thank goodness for powder coating). The glue must then be removed with a strong solvent. Many labels can be removed using peanut butter, but the glue on these labels won't release using th...

Entertainment center to Armoire conversion

I bought two panel to convert a Broyhill entertainment center into an armoire. I had been looking for 16"-18" wide shelving for this conversion. The cabinet side were 37 inches apart. The 36" shelves were a little bit too short thus I bought the 48" to trim. As I got into the project I changed my design slightly. I decided to use vertical standards and clip to mount the shelves. After mounting the standard the distance between the faces of the standard was 36-1/16". I returned the two 48" and pu...

Most of the strips were bent that were on the rack. I went through most of them looking for the ones with the least damage. Once I installed them the bends were not noticeable.

Hard to find piece that fills the need exactly

There are a lot of shelving units out there but this is the only one we found that actually serves as a large capacity door shelf. It is long and we bought two of them to set side by side on a solid wood door. I would not try this on a hollow-core door, as the result is too heavy unless you were going to use only very light contents. Also, we purchased 24 additional attachment holders, since only 6 are included in the package and it is sturdier if you get another couple of packages of 12 and use...

Hard to remove sticker/label

Product performed as expected, but the manufacturer chose to stick an adhesive label to each one that was nearly impossible to remove from the "face" of the strip. Had to rub so hard to remove the glue, the finish came off. Recommend spending a little more and getting a better quality part with no sticky labels.

Cannot remove label

Blue Hawk glues a label to each piece which cannot be peeled off. I had to use acetone on each piece to clean it. I am probably spoiled because, for 40+ years, I have used Knape & Vogt hardware. This is a giant step down.t
