Received this package in bad shape. It obviously had been opened and returned. Pieces were missing and others had been damaged. Not sure I can make it usable. I am not able to lift the package to move it off my porch less haul it 100 miles to return it to a store. This was shipped by Seville for Sam’s. I have assembled literally dozens of these shelves and have never had issues like this.

I purchased three of these shelves last year to begin organizing my basement. They worked so well I ordered three more this year to finish. Outstanding quality at a low price. I priced them elsewhere and other outlets had the same brand with only 5 shelves---this has six, and you had to pay extra for the plastic sheets that go on top of each shelf--essential if you are storing smaller items and included in this package. If you have any trouble assembling do what I did---ask your wife to help. It sure worked for me.

After helping my mom assemble one of these, I went immediately out and bought two of the standard and one of the corner. I used them for a complete garage re-org. All are extremely high quality and easily support heavy things such as my husbands many tools, saws, and car parts. We used the wheels and just braked them in place.

We kept it because we needed it. The two shelves out of six were bent. I would have given 5 stArs if it weren't so beat up. I have two others that are great. It arrived all beat up. The box looked like it had been in a war. I would recommend if it arrives in good shape.

I bought three of these to make 2 units with 9 shelves each. I bought them to store specific items -- DVD/CD boxes that hold literally thousands of back-up and home-made DVDs and CDs -- after searching what seemed like FOREVER to find something suitable that didn't cost a fortune. (I was actually considering having a carpenter build me custom shelving, but that would have cost close to $2,000!# I took a chance on these because they were inexpensive and I knew I could use them in my garage if it turned out they didn't work for the DVD boxes. Well, they work GREAT! #See photo!# The only negatives, and they are minor, is that assembly of the first one was a bit of a pain. The instructions tell you to screw together the poles that form the frame, then screw in the wheels, then put on the shelves. The problem is, if you are assembling these yourself -- no helper! -- this won't work, as it will be almost impossible to get the shelves over the very high poles with the legs wobbling all over. #You can lock two of the legs, but that wouldn't help much -- the first shelf is the hardest to get on as the poles of course are not really a "frame" until something is on them!) After following instructions, I realized that wouldn't work, so I took off the wheels and separated the 4 full-length poles into 8 half-poles (as they come). THEN I was able to get the first shelf on over the plastic clips, and then the second, etc. After I had four shelves on, the unit was quite stable, and I was able to screw in the 4 half-poles to make the top half. I added the rest of the shelves, THEN propped the whole thing against my basement wall to put on the wheels, one side at a time. It wobbled a bit when I was putting the 3rd and 4th wheels on, but it wasn't really an issue as the unit was VERY stable with all the shelves. I had no problem with the plastic clips -- once they "click" into the line where you want them (I just counted lines to make sure they were even), they held fast as I loaded the shelves. One tip for assembly: don't assemble them until you are sure what you will store on them. Yes, you can disassemble and reassemble them, but that won't be too fun -- better to know what you will be storing at the start and plan your shelves accordingly. Taking 15 or 20 minutes to plan first will likely save you a lot of aggravation later. And one last thing. These units come with 6 shelves PLUS the shelf liners, which a lot of the units don't come with if you buy them elsewhere. I didn't really NEED the liners for my purposes, but they are nice to have for the future if my needs change. Overall, a GREAT purchase at an amazing price. I plan to buy the corner unit and some more of these as well for my garage. I am so impressed with them!

Make sure you check each shelf carefully before attempting to put this together. Three of the 6 shelves had defects- instead of 4 ROUND openings to slide the shelf onto the poles, at least one opening was OVAL vs. ROUND shaped, which made it very difficult to get the shelf to sit level on the poles. I struggled with two of the lesser deformed of the 3 shelves and with the help of a rubber mallet, got them to stay put and level. However, the last shelf had such a deformed oval-shaped opening that it wouldn't sit properly on the poles at all. I contacted Sam's and they worked with me to give me a partial refund so I wouldn't have to return the 100 lb thing!

I have purchased 8 of these exact shelves and am very satisfied. Out of the eight one did have a bent shelf that was quickly replaced by manufacturer. I have read the negative comments and mostly it seems people don't know how to assemble or assume the plastic seperators used to protect shelves in shipping are actual parts. When you put the poles together sometimes they are not a perfect straight line when combined but once you put the shelves all on the unit is straight every time. The fact that these have plastic shelf liners makes them a fantastic value. If you were to purchase seperately you would spend $40 or more for the shelf liners.I am extremely pleased with these and will probably buy another 6 to 8 units over time.

Sturdy!

We had this shelving unit in our garage. Our home was leveled in the May 20th tornado in Moore. The shelves were found, all in tact, wheels and all. We were impressed that it survived a disaster that destroyed our home and still in great condition....that speaks volumes for this brand and sturdiness.
