Perfect for storing boxes and other clutter in my garage. Easy to assemble. The only issue was the connectors to stack the shelves did not come in the box. I emailed the company and with charge they sent them to me in 3 days. Will purchase more for sure

I love these! They are easy to put together, I did it by myself and I'm a woman who's only 5'2. I love that the shelves are wide (2 feet). It fits storage bins very nicely. I bought 3 of these and would buy more if I need more garage shelves in the future.

I have purchased several heavy duty shelf sets over the past year; most have been quality units at quite a discount. Relative to these shelves, the others are far superior. With these units, you almost need three hands in order to get the second tier installed, and the entire unit remains unstable until all of the shelf boards are installed. My two units arrived missing four of the framing rails and four of the end pieces were missing the brads necessary to install the these rails. I called the company and they were quite accommodating and promptly shipped out the missing pieces. The bottom line is you get what you pay for: if you want a quality, heavy duty shelf set, this is not the one to buy-- spend the extra $$$$s and buy quality brand. If you are looking for some 2'X4'X6' shelving and your budget can't afford the first tier shelving pricing, then these units will probably meet your needs.

I wouldn't trust this to hold anywhere close to the rated weight, for that it gets one star. Like everyone says, the MDF bows under medium weight. Not only does it seem like it could snap, but it minimizes the contact area supporting the shelf. If you think cutting stronger material (plywood) to replace the shelves will fix the issue; it may, but these shelves are 23.2 x 47.2 you wont find a hardware store allowed to trim such little amounts off their plywood. Muscle Rack / Edsal has different quality of the same products, this as you could imagine by the price is the "overseas" version. If you want a detailed explanation on how to fix it - read on. My first step was trying to reach Edsal. I called %26 called their support number no answer. So I submitted an online ticket. My primary goal was to get these cross or tie bars I saw mentioned in a Depot review. The CSR was very nice and shipped out 10 at no charge, but said they probably wont fit because the Depot version is different (2x price) than this "overseas" version. 1 star for their assistance. The bars came %26 like she thought, they were too long. Another review I saw made their own cross bars out of wood. So I grabbed a cheap 2x2 furring strip %26 got to work. I mitered the edges (36º) to fit in with the steel angle. This worked great. In hind sight the review did 2 per shelf which I should have done, I only did one in the center. When loading down the shelf, each side still had a little deflection. It would probably hold, but I wanted to make absolute sure before filling up every shelf. I looked for stronger shelf material, but like I said I couldn't find anyone who would cut it to the exact size. I turned to the steel cross bars Edsal provided. With a little hammering, I could flatten one end and expand out the hook to fit right over my center bar. I did this for all 5 shelves (10 bars) and now everything is very sturdy. It is important to follow the directions for shelf placement, I saw a review that had the bottom shelf way higher than the 3rd hole, this will 100% cause the legs to bend. This version doesn't include plastic ends for the metal feet. Go grab some flooring samples to stand it on, or it will cut through your carpet. I recommend anchoring it to the wall. I didn't have studs, so I used 4x 250%23 T style toggles. Make sure to use some sort of shim so its not pulling the shelf back. Also for a safety railing on the sides, Harbor Freight has 24" zip ties, which fit great if you use a pair. After all that I have about 400%23 on each shelf and it feels very sturdy. In the end it may be worth just buying a nicer shelf, but the extra work wasn't that hard.

The shelves themselves do what they are suppose to do. The shipping of the shelves was terrible the corners were busted off had to get in touch with the company and wait three weeks for new ones the company did replace them. Now I have a bunch of busted shelves wondering how to get rid off them. The product is fine. What a pain of the over all process.

This particular version (UR245P-BLK ) does not have the four couplers in the parts list, but refers to using them in the instructions. You can see them in the product picture on the Walmart.com website, but there were none in the box. Other reviewers mention this as well. Without the couplers, you are basically trying to stack four corner posts that are less than a millimeter thick, on top of each other. And as it lists that this can take 4,000 pounds evenly distributed, how is this supposed to be stable enough for 800 pounds per shelf on the top half? Without the couplers, this is extremely dangerous and unusable.

Ordered September 2020, now using formaldehyde and it stinks !!! It stunk up my house. Also, this set is 17 dollars less expensive than the same shelf at HD (at the time of this writing) BUT it is missing what I consider essential parts. The couplers which make assembly easy, and prevent the completed shelf from falling apart due to a bump (horizontal force). The couplers should be essential and included. They are included at HD, but not at WM. Again HD is 17 dollars more expensive. Another thing missing is the plastic feet which would protect a wood floor from scratches. This should be included, it should be essential, it's no in the WM shelf kit but it is in the HD shelf kit. In conclusion, I am returning this and simply spending a little more money on a complete shelf kit. And I would imagine one that doesn't stink due to formaldehyde !!!

Either Walmart or shipper (FedEx) messed up the box badly. Ends if the wood shelf was smashed to heck. Also the vertical supports are two pieces. So it is a little unstable and very hard to get assembled correctly. Don't buy this model. And if you do, don't have it shipped to store or your home. Only buy if it's in stock at the store already.

I had this product delivered to my home. The UPS guy leaned it against my garage, but the box was open and a lot of the shelves were damaged. Luckily, all of the parts were in the box. The shelf is extremely easy to put together and it was the perfect size that I was looking for. However, the particle board shelving came very damaged. The wood is crumbling in the corners and one of the boards was cracked badly. Because I planned on using this to store random junk in my garage and because it was a very inexpensive shelf, I kept it. (Not worth the hassle or carting back to the store). But, I would not recommend that anyone purchase this shelf.

I received my order on 10/14/13... The comment I have is the way the product was packaged. First the box weighs close to 100 lbs. each, there was no strapping or hand holes for anyone to grab to lift it. I don't know how the UPS driver ever got to my front door. I know I struggled to get the boxes into my house. Secondly the box itself did not have any corner protection and consequently the corners on all the MDF shelves were broken. I don't know how this could be resolved because if I returned the units for replacement, I am certain the new units would show up in the same condition. I guess I will have to go to Home Depot to replace the (10)2'x4' MDF shelves, (3) 4'x8' sheets cut into quarters . The cost is approximately $60.00. Again, I can not blame UPS, either Edsal or Walmart should have made sure the packaging was adequate for shipping and lifting. Sign me very disappointed ...
