This is the fourth of these shelves I have purchased. I bought the first three in Virginia about 15 years ago for garage storage. We moved them to Florida 8 years ago for same purpose. Then when my husband died five years ago, I downsized but still need garage storage.I just bought a fourth shelf that my son assembled that I will use in my garage and my storage closet for luggage. They are very sturdy and hold a lot.

Will probably be a decent shelf for the money. It was inexpensive. Putting this thing together was not easy and it made me question my purchase. You need to have a lot of patience assembling this unit as it was way harder than it needed to be and the instructions left a lot to be desired.

Such a pain to put up. As you put one side in the other comes out. The come undone way too easily. I absolutely hate these shelves. We had to take them down to fix the floor in my pantry. Even harder to put up the second time. I hate these.shelves. Screw them and the idiots that designed them.

Wanted to give these shelves a chance after reading all the negative reviews so I bought one but I should have listened. These shelves would be good for light/medium weight items (toilet paper, etc). Cheap material, you get what you pay for. I returned this set and spent an extra $30 for a 6 Tier commercial grade metal shelving which is also from Sam’s.

The shelves themselves are not metal, they are laminated press board LDF. As a result the units are very heavy and both that I ordered were absolutely mangled during shipping. The first package I opened had all of the shelves completely broken and the second package had the shelves’ corners all damaged but at least they were intact. Zerooooo stars, YGWYPF.

Not the same as older models. Cheap and flimsy. They should lock into place and these do not. All the shelves came damaged on the corners, thinner than before. Metal is not the same sturdy ones as before. I have 4 of the older units, have moved them many times assembled and reassembled. Don’t even try moving these newer ones the whole thing will collapse. Read all the most recent reviews and look elsewhere, why did Sam’s Club screw this product up. Run away from this!!!!!!!

I’ve bought and assembled at least a dozen similar shelving units by myself in 60 minutes, but with this rack I needed an assistant to hold posts and beams while I worked to attach beams to the posts. It took 90 minutes with two of us working on it most of that time. The long posts are not the same as in the photos in the Sam’s Club ad or the drawings on the first page of the enclosed Assembly Instructions because the bottom two slots are missing on the long posts so the bottom shelf is over 5 inches above the floor. The post slots are not a press fit with the rivets so the rivets easily slide into the tapered ends of the slots without needing a mallet and during assembly rivets often slide back out of the tapered slot ends and require reattaching beams to posts. The steel material is very thin gauge. Each short post placed on top of a long post has a bottom flare out over the long post that makes it easy for the top posts to shift position on the bottom posts during assembly. This is a cheap imitation of the original Gorilla Rack.

Very flimsy

I bought 3 shelves and even though I've had cancer, work injury (that makes my right arm not work as well, a heart attack, both hips replaced and hand surgery. After my hand healed, I still managed to make my shelves fit together. So if I can do it by myself then I don't see why anyone would have such a hard time. The first one was the hardest (as always when building anything) but then you learn and can put them together easier. Suck it up people or buy the cheap plastic that will become brittle fall apart in a few years.

Pretty much junk. I've put many shelves together over the years, these are by far the worst. This company could spend just ten cents to make assembly easier but they don't. I bought 2, will keep the one that I finally got put together, it might be good to store some lighter weight items. The other I'll return. If these were on sale for 100% off I'd still pass.
