Bought two 72”inch high shelves. Openedfirst to assemble and found the brackets to attach shelve post we're missing. Called Edsel customer service to complain. Was asked where I purchased shelves. Was told that Walmart does not include the brackets, but would have been included had I bought them from XYZ company. Edsel also said XYZ company also sells brackets separately, but cost approximately $7.00 for 4 brackets. Edsel sent me 8 free of charge. Why would Walmart sell shelves without brackets needed to assemble post !!?? Buyer beware!!

Oh my god! the wood panels smell horrendous! When I brought the box into my house all i could smell was fish! I quickly opened it and disposed of the offending cardboard but the smell is emanating from the wood panels themselves. Its the grossest thing I have ever smelled! This is the fourth one of these racks I've ordered and the first time encountering this issue, but its enough for me to never want to order another one

There is no way this shelving will hold the weight that the ad says. Also, many people have noted that the picture clearly shows the connectors holding the upper and lower sections together. They are NOT included. I just used some spare bolts I had available rather than get the correct connectors from the company. Why does Walmart clearly show a product with features that they KNOW are not included. Once assembled the shelving is fine, but very light weight for what the ad says. 3 of the unites arrived quickly and with no damage. Took me about 1 1/2 hours per unit to assemble as I was alone and the bottom first shelf is a bear to hold up and slide together all by your lonesome. After that it is not bad. You must have a hammer (rubber recommended) to assemble.

OMG..this shelf is beautiful once you are able to put it together. It has interlocking pieces...you need at least THREE people to get it assembled...once you interlock one side, the other pieces fall out of the holes..was a complete nightmare.Also, you have to put it together in the spot where you want it. Once you move it, it comes apart....I have cans and jars of food on it and it is shaky....very disappointed....too much of a hassle to return it...very heavy box.

Once assembled, shelving is very sturdy and supports the items typically placed on the individual shelves. Particle board will sag if placed in an area with any exposure to moisture, i.e., an enclosed basement. Not the first time to purchase these shelves and will certainly do so again. FYI, initial start of assembly of steel braces can be tricky for one person. Rubber mallet also a handy tool!

The strongest parts are the 4 vertical beams. The 10 long horizontal beans are the weakest of the frame. Although it is metal, it is flexible, unlike the 4 vertical beams. What occurs sometimes is that the horizontal beams (in the front because the other side is closer to the wall) bend out and causes the particle shelves to drop a few inches. The particle shelving has also warped after 2 years because that's what happens to particle boards when weight is on them. If it were real wood then it would not have these issues. If I knew the shelving was particle boards I would not have purchased. There is a fix for it, but as with everything, it would require an investment. So far it is still in use and I am getting my money's worth I suppose. I'll see how it goes in the next 2 years.

I am a 59 year old woman and put these together myself. A little tweaking and they went right together. very nice shelves, for the savings on the one I was able to buy 2. spaced them apart and notched a 6ft. counter top to put between them and presto work bench.

I purchased several of these shelves,some from Amazon and the last 3 from Walmart they can be a bit of a challenge to put together but after the first one I had it down pat two people make the job much easier excellent product for a low price I was looking for some heavy duty shelving for the basement and garage these fit the bill nicely and I definitely recommend them

Shelves are starting to bow. Purchased back in late Aug.2015 and bought 10 of these units. Put theme down in our basement and had some canned goods on them.Went down there the other day and noticed the shelves are bowing.Suppose to hold 800 lbs per shelve ---- we don't have nearly that on them.

Quite disappointed in the quality of this shelf. Thought it would be more sturdy - based on EDSAL's line of products. Don't plan on storing heavy items on this shelf as the particle board is less than 1/2". The vertical supports also come in two pieces (splice in the middle) which compromises the structural integrity of the unit.
