My only complaint about these shelves and most others like them are the quality of wood used for the shelving material. I painted mine before assembling it. Great buy for the money.

Bottom half easy to put together. Follow direction exactly. Top half tricky, almost need two people. Once I put the first one together, it is very sturdy and holds lots of weight.

Cheap junk steel, top and bottom are two separate pieces that you have to match and then make it go together with shelve bracket The columns appear as one piece but they are two separate piece to make one. Do not buy

This product woul;d not work for me because I was storing boxes on the shelves. The shelves were made of particle board and would have warped under the weight of paper.

parts were missing I couldn't wait for the piece so I improvised and the rails do not lock in properly had to hammer in place. I have two of these racks but from a different manufacturer and those when together easy and no missing parts.

the main thing I did not like was the splice of the vertical post - should have a locking device or make one piece . Otherwise works fine has lots of room and handles the weight

I ordered the shelves thinking they would be as sturdy as the Gorilla shelves . Turns out they are about half as sturdy as the Gorilla product. The particle board shelf is about half as thick as it should be .

Particle board shelves are very thin. Do not use for anything heavy. Standards come in two parts. They should have a connecting bracket but do not. Depends on a shelve to hold them together.

Not the best shelving I have purchased but it is functional. Some of the shelves were were damaged on arrival bet were serviceable. It is OK but I have bought better.

Flimsy, does not hold together, not sturdy at all, kept falling apart. I had tough time putting together. I could not attach the top brackets to the bottom ones. Poorly designed.I will return it
