Shelf-Snake in Sheep’s Clothing indeed! Other Fixtures Close Up posts included photos and reference to Metro open wire shelving systems and their unmistakable “snake” shelf edge design. Metro is the penultimate restaurant kitchen storage system, even used in cinema to unmistakably set a restaurant scene. Likewise it is often found in professionally merchandised cookware departments. Here an interloper tries to masquerade as the original. But any true fixture aficionado knows that is not the classic Metro shelf edge design … this is a shelf-snake in sheep’s clothing.
SEE “Metro Wire Shelf Label Holder” for a quick look at the more traditional “snake” design.
