The shelf brackets will not lock into the slots in the legs making it difficult to assemble. Should have taken less than 30 minutes but took over 3 hours because when you attempted to put a bracket into the leg slots the previous bracket you assembled popped out. Basically, you need about 8 people to hold things together while assembling. Haven't attempted moving it yet, that will likely be the next challenge. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY...JUNK, JUNK, JUNK. I really expected better from Sam's Club

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.

This shelf is unsafe, unstable, and could not hold 500lbs let alone the 3,600 it is rated for. If you have purchased any other Member’s Mark shelves that you were satisfied with, this is not like the other ones at all. The pieces bent the whole time assembling it .

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've given up trying to assemble both upper and lower posts together... they will not all align and lock and the metal is very flimsy. I've hurt myself and bent the metal trying to use my rubber mallet to fit everything in place. Its very poor metal engineering in assemblage. BUYER BEWARE!!!! These 5 star reviews are probably fake to prevent the rating to fall below 4 stars.

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.

Very few of the shelf support brackets "clicked" into place and remained in place, if I moved it, they would come unfastened. I finally had to build it in place, once the shelves were installed, it seemed to hold the support brackets in place. I do believe it will stay together when loaded but worried if I pick it up to move it to a new location, it could fall apart. Will not buy another one of these. This is my first negative review ever.

I bought two of these because of satisfactory prior experience. Unfortunately, the new version is of thinner metal, and as a consequence is shaky and somewhat dangerous to assemble. Even worse, the assembled shelving is unstable. I cannot see how Sam's Club can rate it as capable of accommodating anything more than light weight items. I will be returning this as soon as I can. Sam's needs to work with a supplier to re-engineer this product to its previous standard, even if the price ends up being greater.

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.

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.
