Not as sturdy as the former Gorilla racks. Materials are noticeably thinner and the fit between pieces is way less precise. Final assembly acceptable for light/medium storage.

The metal is very thin and flexes badly when you are attempting to assemble the unit. We have 4 other sets of other brand shelves and I did not have any problem doing them alone. A big part of the problem with these is that the assembly points that are to be tapped in with a hammer are so loose that there is not "tapping together" that holds. My wife and I finally got this set put together but the shelves kept coming apart as we went. Would have been better if there had been a third person to hold together what we had already done. This was our second set because the first set came missing parts. When we called we were told that we would have to file a warranty claim and that we should have the parts in 4-6 weeks. We elected to take them back to Sam's (50 miles each way) and exchange them. If I had realized how poor the quality was I would have simply gotten my money back at that point.

Putting the shelf together wasn't difficult. However, the issue pertained to the parts not staying together once they were connected. Also, it appeared some parts were missing because we were unable to attach any shelves after the third shelf. Therefore, the results were two separate shelves (one three and one two shelves).

Purchased to organize a storage room. The extra height, extra shelf (as compared to others), and the ability to split into two units were what led to my purchase of this item. The only reason not given 5-stars is the requirement that a shelf be used to connect the two "units" for the tall version and therefore limited the spacing of the remaining shelves.

Purchased one in store and loved it, purchased 2 more of the exact same shelf, same product number, and they are terrible cheap junk. We ended up having to weld them together to get them to work. We should have just taken them back but we are 2 hours from a store and in the middle of a project. Do yourself a favor and get these in store only.

These are nice shelves. I bought 2 sets and am pleased now that they are set up. My husband and I are very experienced DIY people. The assembling of these shelves was as we say down south, a real goat roping. You really need 8 hands. We finally starting tying them with easy to cut off garden string as we went and it was easier.

I feel the quantity of the steel got reduced compared to previous years. The frame feels shady, thus the two parts (upper & lower body frames) are difficult to be joined. They should have increased the price a bit instead of lowering down the quality.

Purchased these for my craft room to help with organization. The directions were copied half off the paper but it was still doable. I am missing the plastic protectors for top and bottom but called the manufacturer and they have shipped at no cost to me in 3-5 business days. The shelves look nice and very sturdy. Definitely recommend and if you need some extra storage space.

This rack is a great bargain overall. I needed adjustable shelves that would hold a lot of weight. Assembly is tricky and does require 2 people. Adding the top layer requires at least 2 people, but it was stable once all assembled. It seems unstable during assembly, but trust the process. And install a full shelf early in assembly to stabilize everything.

I debated about buying this shelving unit after reading other people's reviews. I decided to order it, because it was exactly the size and height i wanted for my garage. I also knew that if i didn't like it i could return it to the local store and get my money back. I put it together by my self, I'm 59 yr. old women and it was not bad at all. I would buy again or recommend this to a friend, it is a great price for what you get.
