After modifing it does what I want
Wanted a storage system for cat-food that holds more than 12 cans since I buy in bulk. Gave this a shot, and after tinkering for a day made it work. Few notes:
-There are only three short pegs, with which you get just one narrow row.
-The fit range is listed by oz, when you really should check the diameter of the can. As you can see the 5.5 oz 9lives can will not fit into the middle row, it will go into the top but can snag on a peg sometimes.
-There are large cutouts on the sides of the panels, all cans would snag on them at back, which already has congestion problem. After I applied clear packing tape to both sides (to avoid having exposed glue) the problem went way.
-cans coming from double feed rows sometimes create self supporting shape in the back, so after you pull a can, new cans out the back don't rollout automatically, easily fixed with a push on cans in one of the feeding rows.
-I adapted it to hold 3 oz cat-food by cutting out a cardboard panel and pushing pegs through it (used short pegs). One column held 24 freshly arrived fancy feasts plus some thad I had from before.
-wanted to have it over on a shelf, should have checked dimensions. So it got stuffed nicely on an under-counter shelf, the righthand row is held together with tape and without issues dispenses 4oz canned fruit. And surprisingly outer side holds and dispenses 3oz cans without issues, so the treat food can be stored and dispensed separately (kudos for the adjustable design).
Note: even non modified row had issues dispensing tomato sauce until I taped over the openings.
Hopefully this was helpful to you :)
