the shelf itself is perfect. for the price even greater. but what you save in price you lose in QC of Sam's and their shipping partner(s). as MANY have stated you have a high likelihood of some damage to the shelf. my box came in the mail with significant damage. when building it i noticed the top of the main support had been crushed in. i was surprised i was able to assemble it 99% of the way with just one support bolt being impossible to use due to the damage. I was able to get it built minus one support bolt on the top shelf and thankfully Sam's CS online immediately offered me a 25% refund for the damage.

This 2500 pound per shelf unit is a very good deal for the money but I would not trust that much weight based on the thin gauge of steel and lack of diagonal braces on the backside and the sides. But I would buy it again for the value and the use I will give it. Make no mistake, this unit will be supporting 1000's of pounds....but good luck on 10,000 :) Each rail has 2 bolt holes on the ends(they are unused).......convenient for making the unit a bit "sturdier" so I drilled them out to about 5/16" and used 32 bolts and nuts to brace it up. The vertical metal pegs used for the shelving bracing they rattle a lot so I glued the head of the peg in place. The stout wire mesh is soon to be replaced with plywood. The 2.5"x2.5" square feet are a bit of a joke....they are tack welded in 3 spots and with 6" caster wheels to be welded in place those square feet had to go. The u-channel vertical framework is rather thin but it welded nicely to the caster wheel structure. The black winkle paint was a nice touch. The unit assembled perfectly. No instructions needed. It's so well thought out for simplicity. I thought long and hard if it was a 4 star or a 5 star. I know some people take stars off for silly things and that's not me. I give it 5 stars because I cannot get this awesome of a shelving unit that is 6 foot wide and 22.5" deep. I modded it a little for my own purposes and as long as 10,000 pounds is not put on it I say it's a 5 star!

I am very happy with the product and had an easy time assembling. What didn’t work well is, I ordered on line and did a store pickup. The store I go to is about twenty miles away. I got them home and had to have someone help unload because they are heavy. I unpacked the first set and assembled it easily. I opened the second box and found several pieces bend beyond proper use. I did notice that the box was damaged. Well, of course I had to load the box again and drive back another 20 miles to return and get another one. The return and replacement was quite lengthy. I finally have them up and my garage looks well organized.

These storage shelves are extremely sturdy and a great value! I was expecting it to be a long process to put this together. It was actually quite easy to do and there is already a hole drilled in the bottom that I am going to use to add casters (not included) so it can be moved easily in the garage. I’m very happy with this purchase.

We bought it online for store pickup. The store personnel loaded it up for us; I've done this often, never had a problem. Get home and unload ... the box had the back ripped out, and several parts of the uprights were bent beyond belief. Like ...no one getting this for us noticed? More likely that they were just hoping I wouldn't notice... Drove back to the store, this time went in and had store workers look through every box. ALL the boxes had major tears, most of the visible uprights were bent somewhere. FInally found a box with minimal tears or marks, brought it home. Unloaded all ...the last piece, the second upright, had it's horizontal support twisted in such a way that it MUST have happened prior to putting in the box. I tried to carefully untwist as much as I could, because I needed the shelf THEN, and I had neither time nor patience to take ANOTHER trip back to Sams. Because of the twisting in the upright frames, the adjustable horizontal members were a bear to put in. Then, putting the shelves in ... the small supports on the bottom of the shelves ...really, pop rivets to attach, but just the shank section???? ALL throughout this shelf was a LACK OF QUALITY or QUALITY CONTROL. The metal itself was MUCH thinner than the last one of these I bought a few years back. The horizontal supports were hard to put in because of frame twisting, but here again, thinner metal made the job all the more difficult. AND ... how about a little screw to lock the shelf in at the upright? There's already a hole there for the job... The undershelf supports SHOULD have had nut & bolt, instead they went CHEAP with a rivet shank. I got one of these around four years back, so I compared the two ... and there IS no comparison as to quality - OR LACK THEREOF - in the newer shelves. Once again, Sams is putting a few cents more profit over sturdiness and quality. SHAME!

Nice high quality shelving. Very easy to assemble. Packaged box is heavy and two people should load and unload it. I plan on cutting plywood board for some of the shelving to prevent loose items falling through the steel shelving. I would recommend this product to any/every one. I was going to build my own shelving out of 2x4’s and plywood but this purchase was a much better decision.

For the price they are nice. Actually better than I thought they would. I bought 4 of them. One had one of the horizontal beams was 1/2 much shorter than it was supposed to be. Contacted customer service they sent a new one out immediately and set FedEx to come and pick up the return.

I have bought quite a few of these (all of which are still in use in case you were wondering why I bought more) and have found that they go together very easily (even for one person) and are very sturdy. I am sure I have overloaded one or two from time to time but they have never failed me. And Sam's has a reasonable cost for the quality of the storage rack.

I was looking for a garage shelving unit that would hold alot of stuff. After looking around at other home improvement stores i found this one. Not only does this unit hold more weight; it's also at least half the price of the other ones of comparable size. I've had it for a month now, and could not be happier. My only regret is not having bought two upfront, as they sold out fast. Great unit and a phenomenal price!

Did not know what to expect from these, especially when it came to assembly but to our surprise it was so easy and quick. Took my husband and I about maybe 20 mins to put 2 of them together. Literally took longer to take all of the parts down to the basement than to assemble. They feel sturdy and fit the plastic bins which we also got from Sam's on sale perfectly. Highly recommend.
