  • I don't know why, but for a while now I don't really like the idea of ​​having shelves that are too high (although that's not the case now, because of the space I live in), meaning I would like the box on the top shelf not to be above my height. Plus, depending on the space and the light and windows, high shelves (closed or even open) kind of take away the brightness of the room.
    Does anyone else feel these?

  • in reply to me_Cris

    I find that there tends to be a lot of wasted space higher up, which could be used for less frequently accessed storage. 
    If you have a good set of warehouse platform steps, then accessing it is usually not so much of an issue.

    However, fire risk safety assessments are now tightening down on floor-to-ceiling storage as apparently fire fighters like to be able to shoot a water jet up to the ceiling allowing it to cascade down over the tops of storage racking. I've recently been asked to try and keep around 500mm clear above any storage racking for this purpose.

    Yes, a platform like that would help. Of course, where there is no open space (referring to length) you will have to take it "uphill".
