I bought 3 of these during the last One Day Sale in November 2018. I bought them only for the extra shelves to add to some that I had bought a while back from some Sam's also. The new thinner cross members don't line up with my existing shelves. The holes won't match up. Going to return these. They are much more flimsy than they used to be.

We have bought many of these over the last few years and been very pleased. This latest version is beyond worthless. As others have said, the rivets are so loose in the holes it's like setting up domino's and holding your breath but nothing you do will allow these to be usable unless you want to duct tape the heck out of it. Waste of time.

We finally got the time to put this together last week. Upon opening the box, we found one shelf had a gash in it and we did not receive corner pieces shown on the instructions. We did not want to go to the trouble of shipping it back so we are just living with it the way it is. In fairness, due to illness in the family, I had not had time to contact Sam's Club about this. I would be hesitant to order again.

These shelves do what I need. The price is very good. They are a little bit of a bear to put together. THESE ARE NOT COMMERCIAL!!!! 600LB rating is optimistic. I would never put that much for an extended period of time. The wood planks are laminated pressed board about 1/4 inch thick. It might take a load if it was sitting on the supports around the edges. I would not trust that weight in the center. The other two factors making these not suitable for commercial applications is how the top connects to the bottom. It It sits on a 1/16 of an inch ledge and is held together by the center shelf. I feel like like heavy weight up top might cause uprights to slip. The third issue is that the lugs do not lock well. I am comparing these to actual commercial grade storage. These are good for homeowner use. The commercial grade storage like these I do use would cost about $600. I would rate this a 4; if it wasn't for the description of commercial grade. The price is what makes them good.

The size is exactly what I needed, and the height and 6 shelves was better than I was expecting to find. The down side is that the sizing is off between the pins on the shelves and the thicknesss of the frames, and the. shelves will not stay in place during assembly.

This has been one of our most disappointing purchases ever at Sam's. To put this together you need 2 people. One to hold it down because these racks just don't snap in & stay together, they keep popping out. Getting the 2nd upper vertical rod on is very & very difficult, to keep it all together. We got it finished but it was sweat & tears.... we bought this one since Sam's was out of the black plastic ones which we have & those are great. The only reason we give it 2 stars is because at least it was NOT made in China and in the end it looked OK. Just have a hammer & piece of real wood ready as well for this assembly.

All components and details on the current model in stores are more poorly designed and constructed of flimsier material than on the similar shelving units sold a few years ago. I do not recommend buying these until an upgrade is made. The horizontal supports for shelf boards are thin and flexible. The shelves are too small for a secure fit. The vertical bar pieces stack together very tenuously. And the pin-and-keyhole connections to join horizontal and vertical components are poor fits. Sam’s Club should consider recalling these and restocking with better quality.

the shelf need to stack up two shelves. first, it not easy to assembly the shelf by one person. The shelf fall apart easily. The beam are not locked. Second Itt is tough to stack up the shelf. Poor design! Please provide video to show how to assembly.

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.

I'm giving 3 stars because the shelves are sturdy, attractive and go together easily. I'm deducted 2 stars because of the corners cut to save a couple pennies in boxing these heavy shelves. The box is 48" long x 18" wide and had 3 heavy 1" plastic straps around the width. They worked great. The bottoms, however, are 2 pieces of med weight cardboard folded over and stapled closed. UPS did a wonderful job keeping the damage to a minimum but w/out reinforcements these boxes are doomed to fail. Great shelves but my advice is pick them up in person. 3 people make assembly a breeze. Put 48" section together and add a couple shelves for stability. Put 36" section together and add top shelf. Set top on bottom with one person on each end. 3rd person adds middle shelf supports and taps them in place with a rubber hammer.
