Manufacturer’s product description
A washing machine shelf like the CLP Juri is designed for households that want to create additional storage space above the washing machine without cluttering the room.
In practical use, it quickly becomes clear that the shelf is just as stable as stated in the product description. A particularly positive feature is that even a washing machine can stand securely on the top shelf without the shelf warping or wobbling. The pull-out storage compartment proves to be a real advantage in everyday life because frequently used items are quickly accessible. Despite its lightness, the construction remains pleasantly sturdy and conveys a sense of security. The shelf integrates well into smaller rooms since it takes up very little floor space.
One negative aspect noted during testing was that the material initially seemed lighter than it turned out to be in actual use. The design is kept fairly simple.
Overall, it makes a very functional impression that exceeds expectations.
Advantages
- Very sturdy
- Extendable shelf

The build quality of the CLP Juri appears clean and well-thought-out overall, even though the material is on the lighter side. The metal tubes feel sturdy and, once assembled, demonstrate a surprisingly high load-bearing capacity. The snap-fit connections lock together securely and hold reliably without requiring excessive force. Visually, the shelf’s simple design blends seamlessly into modern bathrooms or laundry rooms. The pull-out shelf, in particular, looks higher-quality than one would expect at this price point and glides smoothly. While there are minor paint imperfections, they are only noticeable upon very close inspection. Overall, the result is a cohesive look that is both functional and appealing.

The manufacturer promises a space-saving, easy-to-assemble, and functional shelf —and these exact points are fulfilled in practical testing. Assembly is quick using the included tool, making the setup pleasantly straightforward.

Even a washing machine can be placed on the shelf without any problems, without the structure reaching its limits. The pull-out storage compartment delivers on its promise and offers real added value in everyday life. Minor visual imperfections do not detract from the overall impression and are well worth the price. Overall, it can be said that the manufacturer even exceeds its advertising promises.
