One rule I’ve learned after living in many shoebox-like apartments over the years is that you have to go vertical anywhere and everywhere. Shelving units are absolute game-changers when it comes to creating extra storage while taking up minimal square footage, and Walmart has a wildly popular option that’s so pretty and versatile it’s hard to believe it’s discounted to just $56 for Black Friday: the COOKCOK 5-Tier Storage Shelving Unit.

It comes in four colors (including a pretty pink and blue), and shoppers are buying multiple to put in different rooms. The shelving unit also has a clever space-saving feature you’ll love!

What Is the COOKCOK 5-Tier Storage Shelving Unit?

So much more stylish than your standard, chrome wire shelves, this gem is still just as sturdy thanks to its powder-coated steel construction. Each of the five shelves can withstand up to 250 pounds without the included wheels attached — that’s right, you can move it from room to room with ease — or 200 with them on. All in all, it measures about 28 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 5 feet tall, so it won’t completely overwhelm your small space. Still, the structure offers ample surface area for clunky items like cleaning supplies and appliances.

The crisscross design on either side doesn’t just look nice, though that’s certainly a plus; it also keeps items from falling off the shelves, which is handy when you’re wheeling it between areas. I’ve saved the best feature for last: This shelving unit has the ability to collapse almost completely flat, so even if you find that you don’t need it anymore for storage, you can keep it out of the way and on hand just in case.

What Walmart Shoppers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4.3/5

“It is absolutely perfect. I use it in my laundry room for my Instapot, my Crock-Pot, sandwich press, and the bottom shelf in my clothes basket. I put large tea pitchers on there, too. I still have room. So easy to put together. Mine didn’t have instructions. You don’t need them. Just pull out and click the locks into place, fold the top down, and click it, then I flipped it and put the legs on. Took 5 minutes. Could not ask for more.” Donna

“I received the perfect shelf for my small appliances that were cluttering up my countertops. It’s the perfect color for me. It says blue but more like aqua or light teal, which fits kitchen colors perfectly. The folding out and putting wheels on was soooo easy!! I’d love to have the smaller one for plants. I highly recommend this shelf!!” Sandy

“I ordered one shelving unit and liked it so much I ordered two more! Very little to do in terms of assembly. Unfold the unit, make sure all latches are locked into place for sturdiness, and these shelves are ready to use! I added my own backing and shelf coverings to elevate the look of them, just a personal choice because these shelves are supercute as is. From someone who has several sets of wire rack shelves, from here on out I’ll take these shelves any day over wire shelving! I personally love these shelves and would highly recommend to everyone!” NetShoppingFan
