The Free Conversion Storage Rack takes inspiration from the concept of pulleys, enabling a storage framework that can be converted from four directions: upper, lower, front, and rear. This unique design feature allows users to easily adjust the height and position of each storage basket, ensuring efficient organization and quick retrieval of items. Whether it's toys, blankets, clothes, or socks, this storage rack is designed to maximize space utilization and improve operational flexibility.
Unlike traditional storage racks, the Free Conversion Storage Rack can be fixed on the wall, making it ideal for narrow indoor spaces. The metal frame, rail, and metal basket frame form the core structure of this design, ensuring durability and stability. The linen material used for the baskets is not only easy to remove and clean but also adds a touch of elegance to the overall aesthetic.
The static size of the Free Conversion Storage Rack is 550mm*440mm*2070mm, with each individual storage basket measuring 500mm*300mm*200mm. This compact yet spacious design allows users to make the most of their available space while keeping their belongings neatly organized.
During use, the Free Conversion Storage Rack offers a seamless experience. Each storage basket is color-coded, allowing users to easily identify the category of items stored. When items need to be stored, the baskets can be pushed against the wall, minimizing the occupied area. When it's time to retrieve or add items, the corresponding basket can be pulled forward or completely removed for easy access. The adjustable height of the storage baskets ensures that even the highest ones can be reached effortlessly, making the entire process convenient and efficient.
