If you order for delivery you will probably will get damaged shelves because of wood parts are not protected. Also all construction is too slight to keep heavy parts in the garage. I would not recommend this product to buy before see it in real. I order it online so I am disappointed in quality.

Warning: The box is very heavy, and it will take two people to move it inside after delivery. Yet, I easily put it together by myself (assemble in the spot you want the shelf). So far, I have used these to hold a combination of bins with clothes, purses and shoes. I purchased three of these shelves almost two years ago and am still very happy with my purchase.

This rack is less expensive than the ones at my local home improvement store. It IS of a slightly thinner gauge material, but I am not storing cinder blocks on it. The plus for me was to have the options of it being shipped to the store for free. Saved me money and I don't have to worry about packages sitting unattended until I get home from work.

Delivery took a little longer than I expected but it got here. The box is very heavy, my suggestion is to build it in the area you're going to place the shelf or in close proximity. Instructions were very easy to read. Building the shelf was easy up to the point of joining the top corner braces to the bottom, that was a little trickier better for two persons. The build took less than hour. I will be buying another shelf.

There is no way -- NO WAY -- that these shelves hold 800 pounds each. I put 250 pounds of deicer on the bottom shelf, and it sagged so much that I had to remove the bags. The shelf couldn't take the load. What I did, which is illustrated in one of the pictures below, was put wood reinforcements under the bottom shelf. That's the only one that has to carry a lot of weight, so I don't care so much about the rest of them. Several of the shelves, which are particle board, were damaged, as shown in one of the pictures. It's not a huge big deal and doesn't affect the integrity of the shelf, but better packaging could have prevented the damage. All that being said, the frames are sturdy, and you can always replace the shelves with better ones. They just drop into the frame. But because the description says they can hold 800 pounds each when they won't even hold 250 pounds, I'm giving this one a "not recommended" vote. On the other hand, if the stuff you need to store is lightweight, then this will work for you. Richard

I bought three Edsal 48"W x 24"D x 72"H 5-Shelf Steel Shelving on a rollback and they were delivered today. My son and I assembled them using just a rubber mallet in a little over two hours. They are sturdy and will last for many years. I am very pleased with the purchase, their appearance and their utility.

The metal portions of this product are adequate, attractive, and sturdy. The five wooden shelves are particle board, somewhere between 3/8" and 7/16" thick. They are pretty lightweight and will sag with heavy loads. We made 2x4 stiffeners for the lowest shelf, which bear against our concrete floor making this shelf rock solid. We are putting lighter objects on the upper shelves, which may eventually require some stiffening as well. In reading other reviews pre-purchase, it would appear the packaging for this product has been improved, as this unit (we bought 3 of them) arrived virtually undamaged. The carton is heavy as lead and unwieldy, so be ready for a workout. I pity any UPS driver who has to deliver these units all day. All in all a good product for the price, and your basement or garage will get whipped into organization quickly.

I just got this rack week and I couldn't be happier. The engineering is excellent-adjustable shelves and no tools required to assemble (maybe a rubber mallet or hammer). Super solid and heavy duty. The only negative I would give it is, the leg bottoms are metal and you cannot slide it on hardwood floors without scratching the floor. I put a towel under the legs to slide it into position. It would take two people to pick it up and carry it.

Once the shelf was assembled it was nice. Getting to this point was really frustrating. Im not sure if we got a defective item or what but the directions say to tap the shelves into place. For us it was literally hitting them as hard as we could with a mallet to try to get them to stay in place. Several corner joints kept popping out no matter what we did and in the end we just ignored this because overall once it was put together it seemed like it would safely remain together despite the corners that were popping out of place. We ordered two and quit after we finished assembling one. The other one is still in the box because we are dreading putting it together. Don't order these if you have low frustration tolerance and plan to put them together yourself. However for the cost it was an ok purchase.

The shelving is easy to assemble once you have all of the necessary parts. It is shipped without couplers (that are not on the packing list but are referred to in the assembly instructions) and when you call the manufacturer they know about this but still ship the shelving this way.
