A simple yet ingenious Kmart home storage solution is sending social media users wild, as only Kmart knows how.

The discount retailer recently shared a video of a happy customer demonstrating the versatility of their three-tier foldable metal shelving unit. The comments section was flooded with positive responses and viewers were keen to find ways to incorporate the shelving unit in their own homes or businesses.

The video, originally shared by Instagram user and teacher @fortheloveoftash, showcases how she cleverly uses the folding shelving unit in her workplace.

"This collapsible shelf on rollers is perfect for when I'm returning books to the library," she explains in the captions, "saving me so much time (and space.)"

In the footage, the woman effortlessly wheels the shelving unit around the library, showcasing its manoeuvrability and practicality. She also demonstrates how easily it can be folded up for space-effective storage.

Many others tagged friends and colleagues, suggesting the shelf's usefulness in their respective workplaces. One person recommended it for restocking purposes, while another considered its potential for an art room.

Kmart itself joined the conversation to provide further clarity about the shelving unit's features and footprint. When someone enquired about space requirements, Kmart responded, "They fold up flat, so they are great for use in smaller spaces as you can pop them away when not in use." Kmart also clarified each shelf can hold 20kg for a total weight capacity of 60kg.
