I put two of these together by myself, and came up with this method: Assemble poles and wheels. Thread poles through the first shelf, and secure it as the bottom shelf. Lay the assembly on end, supported by four wooden blocks. I used pieces of 2x4. Set the plastic support pieces for the next shelf, and slide the shelf into place. Repeat for each shelf. You can move the blocks as needed. You could even assemble the lower shelves before screwing in the upper poles. Less chance for scratching. I might try that next time.

Bought this for my daughter since their new house did not have pantry shelves. It fit perfectly into the space and now holds everything from paper products to canned foods. Best thing is it was ordered online and Sam's shipped it directly to her so I did not have to find someone to pick it up etc. Thank you Sam's!!!

I have had one of these shelving units for almost 10 years. I have it in the garage with the casters. I recently purchases two additional units for our basement storage room. They are very easy to assemble with only the assistance of an optional rubber hammer. The metal is very heavy and the unit is sturdy once assembled. The casters are good quality as well. I believe the reviews that find issues with the casters may be due to overloading the unit weight limitation. Be sure to note the difference in weight capacity with/without use of casters/wheels. I will be ordering more of these as I organize our storage room.

Hubby bought this yesterday. A friend helped us put it together. We took everything out of the box & got each piece organized. We opted to use the self leveling part & added that before assembling unit. Do not add the top poles until after you put on lower shelves. It will save you lots of frustration by doing this--makes it stable. We own many different kinds of these shelves/carts. This is not the best of the best but it will certainly serve the purposes I need it for and then some. In fact, I want to buy a few more to make curing stations for onions, garlic and potatoes, from my garden.

This took forever to get to me. It came to my state and then went half way around the country before coming back. It had apparently lost its shipping tag for awhile. It was heavy!! And so the FedEx driver just dumped it in the grass beside our driveway. Once it was in the house I opened the box and carried the pieces down to the basement a few at a time. The directions were a little confusing. The plastic pieces look as if they should snap together but don’t. Finally I realized that the shelves would slid over them but I think there has to be a better way to do this. Anyway I finally got it together and was really surprised with how much it holds. I came upstairs and ordered two more. For the price I’m orettty pleased.

Purchased for shelving in my garage. I was impressed with the purchase from the moment I opened the box and saw how the shelving was packaged. Well packaged and the product was protected from damage. Easy to assemble after I calculated the spacing of the shelves to meet my needs. I did follow what other reviewers suggestions and just assembled the lower portion of the shelving first. Great value. My son who is in the restaurant business offered to buy shelving for me through a restaurant supply company, but they were three times the price.

I’ve ordered 3 of these shelving units, all were shipped. First order of 1 arrived within 3 days, second order of 2, took much longer (over a week) which was frustrating but overall worth the wait. I plan to order more of these, they hold a lot, they’re very sturdy, the option of wheels is ideal, they’re pretty easy to assemble & when assembling, the shelf heights can be tailored to your needs, Even though the boxes came damaged & a couple of small loose pcs were missing, there were enough parts & extras in a sealed bag to make up for the difference. I was worried the shelves were bent but they’re very heavy & sturdy so they were fine. The first one is a little tricky to put together & they really requires 2 people but once you figure out the configuration you want, they go together easily.

This was my second purchase of this item...I have a small gift shop and I use it for storage in the "back room" - I can put it in front of other shelves and slide this one back and forth - store more in less space - rolls easily and I have it loaded!

Used these shelves in the garage to help get the DH organized. They are extremely sturdy, simple to put together and great looking. Love the wheels! They hold tons of stuff including all those power tools that do and do not have cases. Overall a great value

1'st I've been buying these for years. They are strong and well priced. They are a bit fiddly to put together but I think anyone can do it. It takes me about 20 minutes to put one together. My problem is that I ordered 6 by mail. I thought at first that the delivery person just destroyed the boxes but now as I've put together 4 of them I find that most of them are used which is why the boxes are so beat up. I wouldn't be so ticked about this, people return things, but I'm missing parts, if you want to resell a product that's been returned as new then make sure everything is in the box. Now I get the joy of contacting the company and asking for parts instead of using my new shelves. These will rust if in a moist environment, I had it in a shed and those got grimy. Otherwise I like them enough that I keep buying them. The selves I'd rate as 4 stars but getting them used with missing parts put the review at 2 stars.
