Steel Shelf
When we started Alive Water in 2014, we knew glass was the best way to go for the health of people and planet. We started providing water in 5 gallon glass jugs, but it became clear there was a better option.
In 2015 the first product we designed and manufactured was a 2.5 gallon jug that was safer, more convenient, and of course beautiful! After many prototypes and adjustments, we are delighted to finally have a custom shelf that will match the splendor and functionality of our jugs and dispensers.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Customer Reviews
I purchased the steel shelp and was initially skeptical that it would withstand the weight of the water jugs, but it is extremely strong. The lines are delicate enough to blend into my kitchen decor. It keeps the jugs organized and I would recommend it, especially if space is a concern. Sometimes I quickly bounce in circles around the shelf, causing a small water vortex :))
I live in a small home so my water dispenser is in my living room. I love this stand as it displays my bottles aesthetically and not just functionality.
I ordered the steel shelf and water dispenser with 4 glass jugs and the shelf came already put together and it is so sturdy! I love how it looks in my home, looks very elegant and my guests also love helping themselves to fresh water when they visit.
Love this product
We were thinking about buying it, but on the fence bc of the price and because also we have the skills to build our own. We didn’t want to add another project to out already busy schedule, so we decided to buy it and we’re really happy we did. We were impressed by how very well made it is. Built to hold the weight of the full 2.5 gallon bottles with ease. It’s beautiful and matches the jugs too, which is a bonus. Overall, we are very happy and it’s worth the money they’re asking.
FAQs
A compact, heavy-duty rack for organizing multiple glass water jugs, with room to place a countertop dispenser on the top tier.
Sturdy steel frame and shelves (typically powder-coated for durability). Feet and hardware are metal unless noted otherwise.
Typical setup is four jugs on the lower tiers with a dispenser on top. Always load evenly and keep heavier items centered.
Plan your load: each full 2.5-gallon jug ≈ 28 lb (≈12.7 kg). Total load = (jugs × 28 lb) + dispenser + accessories. Ensure the shelf, location, and flooring safely support that total.
Yes—spacing is intended for common 2.5-gallon jugs. If your jugs are unusually tall or wide, verify clearances before loading.
Yes—straightforward assembly with included hardware. A basic screwdriver/wrench is typically all you need.
Freestanding use is common. For extra security (kids, pets, or uneven floors), wall-anchor using hardware appropriate for your wall type.
Yes—level the base with adjustable feet or shims so the unit doesn’t rock and weight is distributed evenly.
Load lower shelves first, keep weight centered, avoid sudden impacts, and never climb or sit on shelves. Place the dispenser so the spigot clears the front edge.
Use soft pads or mats under jugs and wipe up drips promptly. Avoid standing water beneath the dispenser.
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap; dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Touch up small scratches with matching metal paint to prevent corrosion.
Yes, but keep it dry and ventilated. Wipe away condensation and spills promptly to preserve the finish.
Set on a level, stable surface, away from edges and high-traffic areas. Ensure the top shelf is at a comfortable height for dispensing.
Feet are typically included; wall bumpers vary. If needed, add felt pads or bumpers to protect floors and walls.
Some models allow adjustable tiers. If yours is fixed, load according to the provided spacing and do not modify structural parts.
Clean and dry, then optionally touch up with matching paint. Use mats going forward to prevent repeat wear.
Keep jugs upright, avoid stacking glass on glass, and inspect jugs regularly for chips or cracks before loading.
Often a simple tool is included; having your own screwdriver/wrench can speed assembly.
Shelf/stand only. Jugs, dispenser, lids, and accessories are not included unless explicitly stated.
Varies by seller. Inspect upon delivery, retain packaging until confirmed intact, and contact support promptly if anything arrives damaged or parts are missing.
