We bought two of these online a couple of weeks and just received these and so disappointed! So we opened to see if shelves were damaged. And of course most of the corners of the shelves were dented and coule corners were completely broke off. There aren't even six decent shelves that we could use to put one shelf unit together! We will be returning these and hopefully they have more ore we would like our money back!

I have about 6 of these shelving units in my basement. They hold a lot of items and are still in good condition after 5 years. Sure, it was a pain to put together, but after I did the first one, the others were a breeze. Soon I bought 5 more for my husbands shop.

I bought these on a member only sale so the price was a bit less than the every day price and that is part of why I am happy with the purchase. Some of the reviews mentioned difficulty in putting together but we had no problems and used a rubber mallet like the picture showed. We made them into two shelves and are happy with them for garage storage but they would work great in a utility room too. I like the material that the shelves are made out of and I feel the shelves are study but I would urge folks to anchor to the wall to prevent injury.

This shelf unit is great, sturdy, holds a ton of weight - exactly as advertised. You don’t need an engineering degree to put it together but get a friend to help - I does take 2 but pretty straightforward. Holds all of my Christmas Decor on the upper shelves and tools and paint supplies on the lowers. My garage is all organized and couldn’t be happier.

I bought 4 units of these storage shelves for my garage and was very disappointed. I found it to be poorly designed and very flimsy. It took me the most part of one day to just put 1 unit together, mostly because I was working by myself and it kept falling apart.

These are heavy. Two people are needed to move the box. I had them shipped, and put them together without assistance. But, I do not think the average size person can put these together alone. You will need a friend to assist with assembly. Be sure you have them where you will want them to be for always when you put the shelves in. $39 was a deal, but I would not pay more than that for them. They will do the job, but there are better options at the higher price.

I have been buying these shelves for for twenty years. Every time I buy them they are made cheaper and less sturdy than the last time. Just when I think they cannot use any less metal in the manufacture of these, they prove me wrong. You no longer need a rubber mallet to assemble them as they now fall together as well as fall apart when you try to move them. Come on Sam's, how much profit do you need to make! Look for better shelves elsewhere.

The top half of the shelving slipped onto the bottom on one corner of the shelving. This wasn't an installation problem, it looked liked it was caused by two things - the rivets didn't hold the shelving tight enough and the metal corner bar was just a little out of whack so that it wouldn't stay steady. I suggest model 016054-1 if you don't need the NSF rating. The way those shelves get put together, it doesn't have the same problem. It's a much better unit.

This took a rubber mallet and all the swear words known to put together. I have assembled shelves like this in the past but the quality of this is inferior. This would probably work well as two pieces but putting the top to the bottom is a nightmare. Even after getting it locked in properly the next morning I found that it had popped apart in some of the corners. I would not buy again and I do not recommend.

I purchased 3 of them, the price was the biggest driver for me. Upon receiving the shelves, the assembly was easy for the bottom part, but the top portion of the shelf is totally unsafe. 1 - Instructions say to just place the second half on top of the other, but there is no way to secure the two. 2 - the shelves are about 5/16" of an inch thick, the side rails are taller than the shelf, which make it difficult to remove items from the shelf without dragging the edge/rails off in the process. 3 - the shelves are not meant to be self standing, you will need to attach them to a wall and secure in place. I have made some adjustments and spent $40 extra to make my three shelves safe in my garage.
