I bought 2 of these racks for my basement storage area to hold large totes. It is a 2 person assembly job because the rails don’t stay in place while you are putting things together. That being said, the rack is very sturdy and stable after the shelves are placed. Each shelf holds a lot of weight and the rack doesn’t sway at all once assembled.

This shelf system is hopefully adequate. I have purchased many other similar shelving units from Sam’s that were much better quality. This system does not seem to be as well made as the ones they previously sold. It was inexpensive but I may look elsewhere for future purchases. I would not recommend.

Tuff to assemble because of awkward angle steel joins. Also the press board shelves corner trim peels off a bit, i.e. the last several inches on say half the shelves is loose. I would go with the Muscle Rack instead of these Members Mark. See my post on the Muscle Rack by Jacksranch.

I was disappointed that the shelf supports didn't "click" into place like other similar shelving units I've purchased. They only stay in place by gravity. The bottom shelf (closest to the floor) must be in place to meet the loading as advertised. This limits the possible configurations. The laminate-finish on the shelves is nice making for easy cleanup and avoiding possible deterioration from spilled oils etc. which often effect unfinished shelf surfaces found on other units. Overall I'm satisfied but not impressed.

This storage rack is very low quality and marginal for storing things 84" high. I have purchased these racks from Sams Club many times over the years. While the price of these racks has gone up over that time which is understandable, the quality has dropped to an unacceptable level. Like other products, manufacturers look for ways to cut cost. The metal on these racks is very thin and does support the load but the connections have become very loose and need weight on the shelves just to hold them in place. In particular, the way the upper and lower vertical pieces are connected is a poor design. It will go together with enough work but took so much time to finally get the connection to work, I won't buy it again. While this rack is lower price than similar products from other vendors, it's not worth the hassle and risk of collapsing. The shelf thickness has also been reduced to just over 1/4" now, which means any significant weight makes it sag.

These Member's Mark 6-Shelf Storage Racks are inferior to those sold some years ago under the Gorilla Shelving brand and then under the Muscle Shelving brand. (I have purchased 40 of those units over the past two decades.) The frames are lighter and the connecting pieces are not as tight or secure. If resting up against a wall they may be okay but as free standing units they are inferior -- quite wobbly compared to previous units.

The shelf is very flimsy and cheaply made. With it being so tall, you stack a whole other section on too of the base of the shelf and it is “connected” by a bracket. Everything twists and warps very easily so you must take great care when assembling it. Only giving it two stars because it hasn’t fallen apart *yet*

I previously bought shelves from Sam's Club that were very nice and sturdy however this brand is not as sturdy feels very flimsy but does hold weight. Did not arrive in very good condition as far as the Box went one of the boxes was falling apart and broken when it arrived so we refused to receive that box hoping the other one that looks like they hit it with a fork is okay inside one just had small chips in the wood if you can call it wood.

If you have purchased Sam's Club gray shelves in the past, these are not the same. I have purchased several of the previously sold shelves for business and personal use. These shelves have thinner verticals and much thinner shelf brackets. The brackets are so thin that two verticals can rotate almost 90 degrees from each other. The plastic shelves are also thinner which causes there to be a raised lip around the shelf because it is not thick enough to reach the top of the brackets. Getting the tabs on the brackets to seat in the holes on the verticals is about a 75% success rate. If Sam's Club was looking for a cheap knock off of their previous shelving unit, they succeeded.

It was very frustrating to try and put these shelves together. The rails are too narrow to have the shelving standards stay in place, the pins on the standards could never LOCK in place, resulting in loose connections and rails going one direction and standards another. Then, trying to place one rail on the other with such loose connections was hopeless. I bent the rivets on the shelving standard so they would pinch the rails, I also used bolts to connect the top rails to the bottom rails, they were never going to stay aligned anyway! I used bolts and washers and dropped the top rails down three holes and it worked well. The standards for these shelves has been lowered severely by the manufacturer, some of the bottom rails held together well in pinch and friction, but the rest of my two shelves were horrible. The shelving material for the bottom portion is also poor, I don't expect them to last too long under weight, they are going to sag BAD! If your mechanical, these are just ok for light stuff. If you want some good shelving, spend the bucks and get the good ones!
