To find out how to best help people with issues like this, Paul and his colleagues visited different homes on three continents. They took pictures and bombarded the homeowners with storage-related questions. “We got to see the hard truth, and it wasn’t always pretty,” smiles Paul. “Many have closets with just a shelf and a rail underneath. It’s simple, but not very functional. They stuff the shelf and hang as much as they can on the rail – the rest ends up on the floor.”

You gotta hammer the pieces down real hardSuzyI saw a lot of reviews here complaining about how hard you have to hammer in the legs and the top pieces. I underestimated how hard I had to do it and was doing smaller taps at first. Woke the whole house up hammering the pieces down with all my strength. I used an IKEA hammer too. I’m not super strong either, I just had to be willing to go all in to get these things in!
While hammering away, white pieces of plastic (small slivers) flew everywhere! I panicked a bit thinking I had ruined the shelf but I figured I should keep going so I can finally use the product.
In use, the product is kind of wobbly. It’s not super heavy so that’s to be expected. If you want to use this as a nightstand—I cannot recommend this product. It’s too wobbly for that.
GoodSandeepThis is good
Small and steady MarlenyPerfect for an small condo to store our shoes
GoodEkaterinaI bought 2 and placed one on another. Good for my bed sheets and towels
Solid Little Shelf!RosalindVery pleased with purchase! Jonaxel went together easily, fits my small space perfectly and is very sturdy. Highly recommend!
Perfect size MagdalenaPerfect size for closet and makes it so young kid can reach his clothes.
Nice shelf storageRaquelNice shelf storage, it fits my closet. Assembling it is a bit noise since you need to hammer it down the bottom and top lateral finishes. Works perfectly for what I want.
Sturdy shelf, easy to assembleConalI bought a bunch of these to use as shelves in closets that have only a hanging bar. They're easy to assemble and surprisingly sturdy.
Cheap but quality is okTakThe size just fits my wardrobe so it is good.
Came Rusted in Box KarenI just got my order today and went to build it. There are several pieces that came with rust in them and one piece that has scratched paint. I do not live close enough to easily return this item. Very disappointing.
Great for converting a TV cabinet into a storage wardrobeRoseThis was just the right size for doing this conversion. Be prepared for some noise when hammering the foot rails on (warn the neighbours if you have an echo-y floor lol) but otherwise it is straightforward, sturdy, and nice quality.
I made a good choice,JuliaI made a good choice, Jonaxel is steady and easy to assemble. Highly recommended.

i just didn't like the hammering part of the assembly. (i had a bit of trouble with it)
It fit our needs perfectlyCristinaIt fit our needs perfectly
A Good BuyAnonymous reviewerIt was just the small size I was looking for. Compact but with 3 shelves. Also versatile so I could select from 2 options on how high the bottom shelf is from the floor.
Metal shelfKarenPretty easy to put together. Placed an online order and wasn’t as study as I expected it to be. Fit great into the closet to use as additional shelving.
FlimsyAshionNot sturdy at all
Perfect. Used it in theRosePerfect. Used it in the cool room for dry goods and storage.
Great little shelfViljaThis is a great little shelf that can be used for all kinds of things. I use mine as a closet organizer for my clothes. It's sturdy and looks nice with clean lines. Assembly was easy except for hammering in the final parts, which took quite a bit of effort. Well worth the money.
Works well.HeatherWorks well.

Story
Put your closet monster on a diet
Do you know what’s hidden in your closets? Probably some might-fit-me-later-clothes, sports equipment, shoes, umbrellas and stuff that doesn't belong there. But in every closet there’s also valuable space. JONAXEL storage system makes it easier to use it in smarter ways – from the forgotten corners to the void up to the ceiling.
When we want to tidy up at home, it might make sense to throw things into a dark, confined space and then forget about them. But there’s a downside to it. It can transform your closet into a monster. “In the long run it becomes hard to keep track of your belongings, things disappear and you get a clutter that can feel stressful,” says Paul Hughes who’s been involved in developing JONAXEL.
Home visits revealed the truth
Save time and space
It’s quite common that other parts of life get in the way for a clutter-free everyday, either we don’t have the energy, time or interest to fix it. “That’s why we had to come up with a simple solution that’s easy to put together,” says Paul. The smallest JONAXEL unit fits almost anywhere, and you can create more storage by simply stacking units on top of each other. “It’s a system that lets you take control of the spaces you have. Help on the way to a more organised life and a strategy for keeping closet monsters from growing too big.”
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
