Q: I have been looking high and low for these simple wall mounted shelving systems similar to image below, but cannot find them. I am looking for a online retailer that will ship to Canada, or a store in the Toronto area. I have already looked at the Elfa systems but they only seem to sell complete systems and not brackets and shelves separately. Any suggestions?

Commercial Flour Sa...
Have you tried Home Depot?
I did a whole wall with these once; got them at Home Depot. It was soooo cheap!! :)
Retry Elfa - go to components - they do sell the brackets and shelves separately. I have bought them.
Home depot. No problem. Even a good hardware store might have them.
Your local hardware store will have all the parts you need.
Toronto area? You can also try Canadian Tire if that's easier for you than Home Depot. They have them listed on their website.
Have you tried The Container Store? They sell elfa shelving and have a lot of options. We did something similar to this in our kitchen. Here is a picture of the shelving system we purchased: http://settlingwest.com/?p=453
It was shipped to us, and was easy to install.

You can try this link for the Ikea Antonius Collection. It is closet storage systems and includes shelves on a track like that. Our closet is do in it, and we love it!
The U.S.-based Container Store sells Elfa -- not just sets, but individual components, as cliokitty say. (Really, because all of the Elfa shelving is cuttable, they sell everything by the individual components; the sets are designed for people who don't want to bother with exact measuring of their spaces and for people who can't envision what they want, a leaping-off point. But once you go into a store, you are actually buying components that make up whatever design that was pictured on the website for inspiration.)
AND: The Container Store ships to Canada! But it could end up being costly once the shipping costs are tallied.
What are Canada's equivalents of Home Depot and Lowe's big-box hardware stores? The type of shelves, with metal brackets, are so common that any hardware store should stock the stuff. The vertical metal pieces that the shelf brackets stick into are called "standards," so maybe if you ask for those, if you haven't already, stores will know exactly what you want.
Try Storage Solutions at Yonge & Eglinton. Here is the link to their website: http://www.solutions-stores.ca/
I bought some for a closet and highly recommend them, easy to install and excellent quality.
Are there Home Depots in Canada? I know for a fact they sell this type of shelving.
Go with the Ikea Antonius, as jessman85m recommended. That product line is incredibly functional, totally customizable, and affordable.
we purchased ours from home depot, but I've also seen them at smaller hardware stores. you might also consider checking out rebuilding/recycled building supply stores too. i've seen a bunch stashed in a corner at one of our local up-cycle stores. good luck!
I bought exactly this at Rona last week. I'm pretty sure this system is available throughout Canada.
Try String -http://www.string.se for stockists
do you have Ace Hardware? that's where I got mine
Here you go :)
