Assembly was very annoying. the pieces lock together so there is no need for tools, which may be a plus for some people, However if one connect was out of place and I tried to fix it, the whole thing fell apart. I finally managed to get this house of cards to stand. Once it's completed it seems to be fairly sturdy. Here's a tip- put it together on the spot you want it to be so it doesn't fall apart when you try to move it.

The shelves work fine for basement or garage storage. They must be leveled, however, to keep the shelves from working loose -- given the way that the unit is held together. Shelving material is extremely heavy -- made of particle board. As a result, I could lift the entire package only enough to drag it through the door. Had to open the box and take the pieces in tranches to where I set the shelving up. They are a good bargain at the price that I paid when compared to other shelving that would have done the same job.

The shelves are a good price but the shelving material is junk!! The unit states its capacity is 4000 lbs. not sure how they came up with that number. I know for a fact if you set a 4"x 4" box that weighs about 4 lbs in the center of one shelf with in 12 hours the shelf will have a huge belly in it - junk

Love it. Easy to assemble and sturdy. I initially purchased 2 racks, then one more, then another one adn now another one. I have a total of 5 of these racks in my home. They are great for storing items in my basement and they make it easy to organize everything. I only purchase this rack system on sale at under $80.

Not the most sturdy. Must be 100% level or you risk tipping or possibly shelf failure. Wood is the cheapest partial board I've ever seen. Wood corners break easy. Wood can be damaged easy during shipping. Weight will cause cheap wood to bow in middle of shelf and sink down. Over time I expect it to fail if weight remains on shelf. In a damp basement, partial wood probably won't hold up. Woods chips easily. Would never consider putting 4000lbs on this shelf. 4000lbs is super misleading. Wood could break under weight if shelf item is not supported or hanging over the metal edge to support it. Wood dips down a lot under stress. Would return for a real rack that is more sturdy if I were to do it again. 2 stars because it was around $55 with free shipping.

Very strong shelving and a good size for medium to relatively large items. I do recommend anchoring the top to the wall but that is typical for tall shelving. I gave this a 4 star rating only because it's tough to move very far without coming apart. But if I'm going to move the shelves around I should've gotten one with wheels. Right?

Sturdy storage shelf for my garage. Great value! I would recommend to change the number of shelf legs from the current 8 to 4 long ones. Stacking the 4 top legs and trying to line them up with the bottom 4 during assembly was a challenge and had me sweating and cussing :-) Other than that assembly was straight forward and easy.

Muscle Racks were easy to put together using just a rubber mallet. The shelves can be adjusted to different heights to accommodate clear plastic storage bins of different sizes...that are also available at Walmart. The racks have new brackets for attaching the top to the bottom half of the rack...it was a breeze connecting together. I loaded up the shelving with hundreds of lbs. of tools and supplies....they're rated at 4,000 pounds although I wouldn't want to test that load. I also fastened them to the wall with screws to prevent them from falling oven in event of an earthquake. Since my racks were located in a carport area and may be subject to humidity and moisture I suggest coating the particle board with a thin layer of Polyurethane...or other oil based paint. The Muscle Racks were a real bargain for $110 dollars for two racks delivered. Please note: each rack weighs 100 lbs. so Walmart's Free Delivery was a no brainer ! ! !

This is the third time I have purchased these items from Walmart. They have the best price and the shelving is really sturdy and top quality. I use ten in a commercial setting and they are just as good as the commercial type ones except they are about a quarter of the price. Very impressed. About to place an order for 5 more.

This shelf is perfect for my utility room. I was able to organize boxes and bins - perfect for what I needed it for. It's not the super durable kind but it's perfect for what I needed. The free shipping was great too because these shelves are too heavy for me to lift not to mention they wouldn't fit in my car! Overall great purchase
