I use these for my business warehouse and in my home garage. I have purchased 23 of these units; which are working perfectly for heavy items. I would suggest adding plywood to the tops if you're going to be storing smaller items; the shelves are a wired grate. I would love the ability to purchase extra shelves... get on it Sam's! Lastly, the older units are grey and the newer units are a textured black metal. Same sturdiness, just different coating on the metal. If you're on the fence about getting these, you won't regret it. Blows other shelving units out of the water in price and durability.

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.

Great addition to my garage! It went together very easily. I would recommend having someone help you, but it was a snap. I cut two pieces of OSB for two of the shelves to stop small things from falling through the shelves, and will probably go back and do it for all shelves. The shelves are great but have large gaps due to being wire.

Although weighing only 127 lbs this shelving is very solid and sturdy. Assembly is easy enough but I'd recommend having some clamps handy to hold things in place until the shelf sides can be locked into place. Shelves can be place at 3-inch intervals. If the wire shelf bottoms don't suit you, they can easily be replaced with MDF/plywood (not included). Cross braces on the ends and the shelf brackets that attach to the ends are welded and thus very solid, no racking or wiggles. The only thing missing is being able to get additional parts for more shelves or extend to multiple units, which the ends are built to accommodate.

These storage racks are a great buy. They are easy to put together and are well made. Could not give a 5 star rating as the wire shelving tends to bend slightly as you put more weight on it even though it is rated at 2500lbs per shelf. Otherwise I recommend this rack for any household.

I bought 4 shelves 2 black 2 yellow they were delivered quickly and packaged great. they are designed well and built well, the delivery sevice fedex or ups sucked didn't handle with care or pride in thier job so one of the black shelf units was tweaked a little on the top of 1 of the legs nothing i couldn't tweak into shape and deal with. also 4 wire shelves were a little tweaked as well but i laid them flat and walked on them bending them back flat. i contacted sams and they offered full refund and or replacement. but i didn't have time for that because they needed to be installed that day as i travel for a living and only get one weekend at home every other month. so they then gave me money off as a credit on my account so completely satisfied with that and thier customer service

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.

I have purchased 2 so far and plan to purchase 2 more! My comments: WHAT THEY ARE: - Very sturdy and extremely well engineered and built. - Excellent for commercial and light industrial use, and perfect for home use in a garage, basement or any other home storage area. I'm sure they will not disappoint. - High quality, made in TAIWAN, NOT China, so finish is high quality and NO sharp edges like found in lesser quality mainland produced products. - Attractive paint finish that will look great in any warehouse, garage or basement. - EASY and QUICK to assemble by ONE person with NO (zero!) tools needed, though it is best to keep a rubber mallet or small piece of 2x4 handy to more easily tap in the cross beams into the slots. - They are HEAVY! Each full unit weighs about 120 pounds in the box, so do have someone else to help you or at least ask someone at the store to help you with loading them onto the cart and onto your vehicle. - Can be "daisy-chained," one assembled into the other which if you buy several can free up a frame end and allow you to build an extra unit for every 3 purchased if you spread out the number of shelves (ie, 3 shelves each instead of 4). - Make sure that when you buy it that you are getting the Member's Mark unit that is made in Taiwan. One Sam's Club store had put the very similar, but in my opinion not as good, competitor's unit (a well-known brand, but lower weight rating, and not the same quality IMO) in the place where these would be stocked and I had to get the store manager to have someone pull the right ones down from the top of the store pallet racking. - Regarding other comments about damaged units, I had very minor damage on the end of a channel in one of them but it was easily straightened. Best to inspect the unit at before taking it away from the store if you can rather than getting stuck with a damaged one or having to return a 120 pound white elephant!. And having the open box in your vehicle is not a big deal anyway because once you get it to where you're going, the best way to unload it from your vehicle by yourself is to open the box and take out the pieces one at a time instead of trying to move the whole thing at once. WHAT THEY ARE NOT: - As sturdy as they are, they are NOT pallet racking and I would not recommend using them for pallet storage. - In my opinion, and again as sturdy and well-built as they are, I would not recommend them for heavy industrial use, and personally, I would not load them to the stated maximum capacity of 2,500 pounds per shelf. Use common sense when loading them: heavier items toward the ends of the shelves and on the bottom shelf, etc. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS DON'T MENTION: - Make SURE that you check EACH cross beam for proper, full insertion into each slot in the frame, and that you check EACH shelf support channel as you install them for proper and full insertion of the pins that secure the channel ends to the cross beams (checking to make sure the pin end is visible coming out of the bottom of the channel and tapping the channels sideways to make sure they are pinned in on both ends is a good way to do this). It's very easy to inadvertently miss one slot when inserting the cross beams, or to feel that a pin was properly inserted and yet miss the holes in the channel and look like it is properly assembled. - Keep the lengthwise wires of the wire shelves UP and the short crossway wire side down when positioning the wire shelves otherwise the wires at the edges rest only on the pin heads (you'll see what I mean when you assemble it). - The wire shelves are sturdy and useful as is, but f you need to store small items and want to have a solid shelf without the holes, you can go to Lowe's or HD and have them cut 1/4" or 1/2" thick plywood or floor underlayment to line the shelves with: 22" wide x 71-3/4" long does the trick to make sure the wood rests completely on the shelf to best spread the load.

I have purchased several of these shelves in the past; however, the current one that I recently purchased is not near the quality of the previous ones. The metal is thinner and the construction is out of line on the top of the end units. It was nearly impossible to get the top shelf rails to attach. Only after laying the assembled parts on its side on the concrete floor was I able to use a dead blow hammer to beat the attachment points into the slots while using a pry bar to align the tabs. Worst jigsaw puzzle ever!

The racks are ok but the metal keeps getting thinner and thiner. I have bought the rack before from Sam's and the metal is thicker. They still do the job but I had them shipped to my home and the truckers beat the s..t out of the boxes and because of that some of the rails were deformed. Having the damage to the rails makes it difficult to assemble. took an hour to put the one rack together. I bought two racks. The second rack was easer but still took more time than it should have.
