I am trying to decide between the 2 brands of adjustable closet shelving & melamine for my pantry. Does anyone favor one brand over the other & why?

I carry and install Closetmaid and some others
I haven't run across Shulte, not that I recall anyway
I'll take a look through my products research file
I can tell you I went with CM because it was available just about everywhere
With the minimum orders for dealers, sometimes I just need a few parts you know?
I can pop over to True Value and PU compatible parts for repairs or small jobs
It's good stuff though and I use it in my home
For a pantry I like a combination of Storewall brand slatwall and TheAccessoriesGroup shelving and accessories
It's more expensive than Closetmaid, but it's really great stuff
It looks great
It's much more versatile
It's very customizable, you can change it around when ever you'd like
And the accessories go way beyond just shelves
But they have them, big, little, wood, wire, acrylic
The slant wire shelves work great in the pantry
The baskets and holding gadgets are great on pantry doors
I think the stuff is great
I've got some behind me in my home office
It's a great organizing system

I just checked and I have run across Shulte
It seemed like a good product
My choice not to carry it was mainly availabilty

The one rep says that Shulte ventilated shelving has a more durable baked on finish & the hanger rod allows for hangers to be slid the full length of the shelving, not being encumbered by brackets. My decision will probably boil down to price.
