I got 2 of these recently to help organize my garage. Put it together solo, easier with 2 people but not neccessary. If you've ever put one of these types of things together there is a much easier way to assemble it than what is listed in the instructions. Anyway, they go up fast, have a huge amount of surface space and it is easy to customize your shelf size. I saw a few complaints here about weight capacity. While I do not intend to stick 800lbs on each shelf and see if it holds, the unit is very strong and stable. I do have at least one shelf holding about 350lbs of plate weights, with no signs of bowing or stress. For people who complain about strength, of the lack of center support, they probably assembled it wrong. Each arm that holds the shelf up HAS A TOP AND A BOTTOM. This is not specified in the instructions. If you accidentally install one of them upside down, the shelf strength is decreased. If you accidentally install all of them upside down, the shelf will sag under 50lbs. It is VERY easy to install them upside down by accident if you aren't paying attention. Once everything is put together correctly: solid as a rock.

The product is fine and meets expectations, the only downside is that you can not assemble the lower and upper part without getting extra bolts and nuts. It should have a better way to assemble it, so you will have to spend some money and time in order for it to be solid.

This was a decent shelf, and if you factor in the price this was actually an excellent shelf. I was able to put it together myself without aid of a husband and I'm a short gal with arthritis in my fingers - so that means that pretty much anyone can put this together even if they don't know what they are doing. I have other shelving units and this one isn't quite as "heavy duty" as they are (but it was much cheaper), but I have no problem stacking this up with jugs of juice and heavy 24 packs of soda. It's stood up well. I use mine in the garage to hold overflow groceries that I also bought from Walmart. Seems somehow fitting. Perhaps Walmart should have provided me with this shelf on the house, as it is mostly stocked with their merchandise anyway.

We were very disappointed with the rack and Walmarts inability to deliver the item on time. First, it was to be delivered by Nov. 11, then it was delivered on Nov. 14. The box was broken on the top and bottom, with pieces sticking out. At first we were going to reject it, but it took 14 days to get to us, and we didn't want to have to shop for another. Thankfully, all pieces were there. The rack has a stupid design. The corner pieces do not connect easily, nor securely. It took 2 hours to figure out how to put that together, because it kept falling apart. The bolts at not long enough to go through 2 sections to keep it secure. As I said, we do not recommend this item and we will never order anything from Walmart again.

I bought 3 of these shelves from Walmart.com, although shipping it to my local store was delayed a few days, and they still can't find one of them at the store. The parts seem substantial. The actual shelf is 1/2" pressed board, supported on all 4 edges by a formed steel rail that connects to the vertical posts with rivet heads that have large heads which fasten via keyhole slots in the vertical posts. The only thing where I think they cut a corner on design is that the posts are 3 feet long, so they require 2 of them end to end to make each 6-foot post. Assembling them end to end is a bit tricky, as they have to be held butted together while you assemble the rails, one rivet in the end keyhole of each 3-foot post. It's difficult to do without extra hands. Also, this forces one shelf to be at the 3-foot mark (middle). So the shelves are not quite as flexible as I expected. Typically, you'll end up with one shelf at the bottom, one in the middle and one at the top. Only the remaining 2 shelves will be "adjustable." Once assembled, it seems acceptably sturdy.

Packaging, Metal parts, Wood parts, Design, all of them Super Low Quality. Don't waste your time and money. Buy higher quality shelves, don't get a headache . The picture middle of vertical metal parts, it is not in one piece. Completely unbalanced shelves.

I had help putting together the shelves. However, when we got to the 2nd set of vertical rails for the corners, they seems unstable the way the instructions stated to be put together. So, I went to the hardware store and purchase 4 1/2"x1" stainless steel bolts with washers and nuts. We took the upper rails and instead of stacking on top, overlapped the bottom rail down one hole on the inside used the bolts to hold together. Then we installed the shelf for that area either one up above the bolt or one below the bolt instead of the shelf holding the lower and upper corner rails together. The bolts do that. My shelves are sturdy and I enjoy them.

We put three of these racks together. The directions are completely useless so we had to go on Youtube to find a video to help (thank you you to the guy that created the video). It definitely is easier with two people to put this together. Once the wood shelves went in they seem sturdy enough. This is perfect for my garage and has really helped clean up the space. I would recommend them, but just know you might need some help with directions especially putting the second story side bar on.

Great Price for how big this come, way bigger than expected about 6 feet tall with a good width. I put together myself no tools needed, I am 4'11" female and it can be challenging doing by yourself, better if you had another hand to help. The most difficult part for me is the placing of the wood shelf, it had to come from above to be placed down and with a bit of weight. I used a step stool ladder so it helped and worked out for me. The quality is not the greatest on the wood it came some chipped on the corners but for the price you get what you pay for. The metal also on two out of 8 I guess was slightly bent although I didn't need to use any tools to re-shape it, it gave me a bit of a hard time lining it up properly. This comes heavy weight with all the metal bars so when getting ready to open I suggest slowly place down to avoid chipping the wood because there is no support or foam to separate metal with the wood. Also I suggest install closer to where you plan to place it because there is no plastic "thing" that you can place at the bottom of each post so when I had to move it against the wall, metal screech on the floor and may scratch as well depending on what floor you have. This is my second purchase and much cheaper than the first time with it on sale for $59.00 you can't beat that. I highly recommend it great for garage use.

Out of the box, the metal pieces already had light rust and some were twisted, but not so badly they couldn't be fixed by a large rubber mallet. The particle board shelves are lightweight and the corners chip easily if you are not careful when dropping them in place during assembly. The legs are made of 2 pieces, 3 feet long. They are connected by sharing the shelf rail rivets at the splice. Because the ends of the posts do not line up well due to the thin material, it is difficult to get the rivets in place and seated correctly. It literally takes 4 hands to do this. A separate splice angle would have worked MUCH better and would also produce a stronger joint. After assembly, we loaded the bottom shelf to about 250 lbs (its supposed capacity) and noted significant deflection (about 3/8") in the 4 foot span. All things considered, if you want a lot of shelf surface for a low price, this is an OK solution. But if you want something sturdy that can safely carry significant loads (like 250 lbs per shelf on every shelf), then I suggest you look elsewhere.
