Overall I am pleased with my shelving. I am 76 years old and was doing great putting this together myself. That is until,,,,,when it comes to where you piece the two together to make it taller, everything changed. Very bad design concerning this part. The little buttons that are to put them together are fine for one piece. When trying to put the two pieces together it is an absolute fail in design. I finally gave up, my neighbor came to help and it took him a very long time and a great deal of work to get them to fit together. I will never be able to take it apart now, it is set in stone with what he had too do. This part definitely needs to be looked at and fixed.

The quality of the shelving unit was good, as expected. It did take two people to complete the assembly. The connecting brackets were too hard to snap in by hand, so we used a rubber mallet to tap the brackets into the slots. The shelf boards are composite wood and will not be easy to wipe or dust with a rag, but overall for a garage they are sturdy and hold lots of stuff.

Great rack for garages, it has plenty and comfortable space. It's a little bit confusing the assembling instructions though... It took us a little while to figure it out. When we began assembling it, it felt wobbly, but when the "wood" plates were added, it got stable and sturdy.

Love these heavy duty shelves. I have purchased 5 so far. Gave 3 to my daughter to help organize their basement and two for my husband for his new storage shed. They are heavy to lift but you can open the box and move the pieces a few at a time. Only need a hammer to assemble,( to secure the frame). The shelves are deep and can hold boxes and storage tubs and can be assembled vertically or horizontally. Heavy gage steel and particle board shelves. I feel they are a great price and value. Would not hesitate to order more. I could only order on line but that's OK, free delivery on my order.

The top and bottom metal shelf posts are very difficult to put together. Not enough space is provided for the grommets to attach the 2 halves together. It definitely is not user-friendly and required 2 people. Preferably 2 men. My wife struggled to help me. Bolts to attach the 2 halves together would be a much better design. Overall, it would be a great shelf but it is just a very poor design making it a major pain to put together.

Sturdy enough for what I need it for. Needed to buy and install bolts to make this shelf in the 6 foot stand-up design. The shelf rivets are not long enough to combine the brackets together, so bolts were needed and now I can enjoy the shelf. It is still a good value for what I paid for it.

Liked the first 2 so well I ordered 2 more. Next two were missing parts and shipped back. ordered 2 more. One came the other didn't. It came missing parts also so ordered pieces from manufacturer. Trying one more time. A good product if they come with all the pieces or come at all.

I live in earthquake country. Using 3/8" bolts and washers, I tied four of these together to create a large, stable, outdoor pantry and storage for my garage. The only reason I give these racks four stars is that the shelving is made from particle board. Even so, I haven't found weight to be an issue and you can even put light loads on the very top, so consider my rating more of a 4 1/2 . If I had to do it over again I would order the slightly more expensive racks that come with wire shelving.

We have purchased 14 of these shelfs over the past few months. The first 7 were awesome! But the newest shelfs have been modified so that connecting the top and bottom uprights are connected with help from a shelf instead of extra pieces. Perhaps they are trying to save on materials, but it makes putting the shelfs together a real struggle with lots of frustration and less flexibility as to where we can place all the shelfs (spacing). Wish they would go back to the old system. Other than that - tip top - we love them - for business's stock room and for our private uses. I know these will be my favorite shelfs to move when we move to our next location. No screws or extra tools (we only need a rubber hammer). I do recommend.

You definitely need a rubber mallet for assembly. I was able to assemble on my own with out any issues. I gave 4 stars (really would be 4 1/2 if that was possible) because it only come with one set of "covers" which the instructions say is for the top of the shelving unit (even though one of the design options is to use it as two.) I used them on the bottom to offer some protection for my floor. I used the two sections to make two 36 inch tall units so I only had "covers" for the bottom of one of them. Seems sturdy easily holding the weight I needed.
