Horrible product. Putting it together was a nightmare -- so bad that we didn't connect the top part on either of the last two shelving units. Would never recommend this product.

Good price but needs improvement on the fittings, as they come out easily during assembly. Also very difficult to mount the union of the long and short beams. This union piece needs improvement to make it easier and sturdier.

Very sturdy tall shelf. The box says that the assembly is a two person job. Although that would have been ideal, I was able to assemble the entire shelf by myself and I am a 60 year old woman!!! Good purchase.

Assembly was a little challenging as they want to pop apart in the middle, so it's a two person job if you don't want it to take 2 hours. We had 6 to assemble, so quickly found out that an extra set of hands made all the difference with assembly. Nice shelves. Sturdy, and I really like the shelf material. Much better than particle board.

Sturdy enough but a nightmare to assemble. No locking structures to keep cross pieces in place. This is 75 lbs shipped. Be sure you are able to move it. Shelves are 1/4 inch MDF. Connecting the top half to the bottom is flimsy, it just rests on an indentation in the Post and held together by the rails, 1 lug on the rail to the top post to 1 lug on the bottom post. I won’t put anything heavy on the top shelves. I wouldn’t buy a second one just because it’s so difficult to assemble.

Unit was difficult to build following instructions, although may have worked if two people assembled it. I built the upper section on top of the lower section. Four of the six shelves had slight damage. Since it is in the garage, that didn't bother me. Seems sturdy now that is built but I am going to buy furniture anchors to hold it securely against the wall. Be aware that the top section can only have two shelves, so all shelves cannot be evenly spaced.

These shelves are a decent value and do exactly what they are supposed to do. However they are also the worst z-rail shelves I've ever owned. The #1 problem is you don't assemble these with a rubber mallet. The pins just fall in the groves with no friction at all. So you can't build it on it's side without it just falling apart. You have to tape all the pieces together. Even standing up if you bump anything before the boards are placed the elements just jump out onto the floor. At 86" inches tall these would seem to be the tallest of the "7 foot tall" shelves and therefore the best value. In reality the bottom end of the column angles are missing 2 holes and so it actually has one hole less storage space than an 84" tall rack. Yes, bottom shelf sits some 4" off the floor, that's where the lost space went. Member's Mark, in their pursuit of cost reduction, made the z-rails out of (even) thinner metal and compensated by making the z-rail taller. A valid engineering trade off except the thicker shelf unit means less storage space between shelves. And finally, one thing I really dislike about these shelves is that the metal edges of the rails stick up above the top of each shelf all the way around. This means you can not slide things like boxes off the front of the shelves, the front of the box has to be lifted up vertically to clear the shelf rail before it can be pulled out. Probably a great feature if these were in the engine room of a boat, not so great in your garage. The photo you see of this rack is not the actual product. It is a previous version of the rack with the narrower z-rails made of thicker metal and providing more storage space. All together I wish I had spent more money on a nicer product.

We've used these shelves for years. We probably had about 30 of them for our business before my last order of 10. The first few we've put together from that order of 10 have not been the good quality they've always been. The top half of the shelf does not attach correctly to the bottom half. The shelf will still support what we put on it, but it's not structurally correct.

I was so excited when I found these on the web site. Price was phenomenal, delivery was FREE (this is a big deal as I live in remote Wyoming), the specifications were great and they were in stock..... so why am I giving these only three stars?... 1-They have a really dumb design that makes them horrible to build with one person and almost reasonable to build with two people. It would have cost maybe a buck per unit to fix the dumb design. 2- I have 40 to 175 lbs per shelve. The units are rated at 600 lbs per shelf and 3600 lbs per unit. While I would be comfortable in putting 1200 lbs per unit, there is no way that I would try to put anywhere near 3600 lbs on these thing. These are just OK for home use. 3 - If you want to move these from one house to another (Maybe even from one room to another), plan on taking them completely apart. Because of their design, they tend to fall apart if they are not kept perfectly flat and stable. Again, an extra dollar in hardware would have solved this problem.

Bought this design specifically because it looked very adjustable to fit different size boxes and totes. The actual method of the pieces locking together and then stacking are counter productive. The main support system between the two levels is pathetic and dangerous!
