I'm super happy with this shelf system. I put it together myself and it took me about 1.5 hours to complete everything (opening box to installing rubber caps). I'm typically slow at everything and may take you less time if you have help or are just a quick person. I do recommend placing the rubber feet after you put the lower portion together. Looks great and I used a cloth shower curtain and shower hooks to conceal contents within my shelves. Will definitely buy another set of shelves. And, I did ask for help loading it on my truck since I'm female and box makes reference to 2 people lifting the box. When I got home, I backed in my garage and wobbled it out, laying back flat on the ground.

Great price, well made with quality material. The only tiny bit minues is that the covers for the top of the shelves were not all in good condition. I guess that's why they seemed to provide a few extra. Otherwise, worked well for the space I needed to organize.

Sam's Club should be embarrassed to sell such a piece of junk!! It is terribly designed, poorly made and downright dangerous because it is SO FLIMSY!! The metal pieces are so thin and flimsy that you could easily bend one with your hands, even by accident just trying to assemble this piece of junk. The incredibly thin and flimsy shelves were already warped out of the box! They're less than 1/2" of cheap particle board with such poor plastic lamination on them that the lamination was breaking off in places just trying to put the shelves in the frames. NOTE that the four corner pieces are in two sections, not one long piece. The connection is very poor and unsecure. I didn't even finish putting this together before I took it apart to put in the box to return. The whole assembly is so poorly made and flimsy that unless this unit is attached to a wall, the whole thing could topple over easily, injuring someone if any heavy items are placed on the top .

Easy to assemble, can be used as one tall rack or two individual racks, with one being shorter. Shelf is laminate, so it’s easy to wipe down. Put together in less than 10 minutes. No tools needed, although I did use a rubber mallet to make sure it was snug. Very light tapping did the trick.

We needed shelves for our detached garage and this shelf unit worked perfectly. I was able to put it together without help and once anchored to the wall it was very solid. I would definitely recommend it to other shoppers. I was also happy to see it was manufactured in Taiwan, not China. This was important to me.

I had purchased a couple of the 24" deep by 72" tall shelves rated for more weight and felt good when I put them together using same steps. This lighter duty unit 18" deep and 84" tall...I wish I would've bought the other one again. Anything that felt like it locked into place would easily jump back out as I continued to assemble. The bracket that is supposed to lock top section and bottom section together does not happen with confidence. Any additional downward pressures applied to top portion would cause the joint area to slip down and come apart. In the end, I had plenty of sheet metal screws on hand. So I would slip a bracket down into place and run a screw in where it could not slip back up. This is the only way I would trust it enough to load the shelves.

When weight is added to upper shelves the thin metal supports straddle down onto to the lower supports causing the side and front support key slots to pop up and out and collapse, damaged a car hood and could have been worse, tossed the mangled unit and returned the other 4 and warned Sam's personnel, pull this product before someone else gets hurt

I wish that I hadn't thrown away the original packaging because it would have been returned. I have purchased and set up a many shelves in my life, but THIS PARTICULAR ONE..., was the worst one that I have purchased. The two separate height rail sizes to put together and be steady is a major design flaw. The material for the support is a weak and flimsy aluminum frame piece and the boards are thin painted particle boards. I built and overhauled ships for a living and THIS was the biggest physical headache that I have ever had to mess with. It took 3 people to put the shelves together because after one piece or section was finally sturdy enough to go to the next section, as soon as you take your hand away from one piece, the other side would slip out of place. When I do move, I will be setting the entire pile of mess to the side of the road for trash pickup and purchase the solid wood solid steel frames. I had to use large bolt-type screws in slots along with tape to hopefully secure the corner sections, especially the area where the two corners pieces have to be used to get the advertised height. A total design flaw mess; isn't even worth the cost of the mess. You have been warned ⚠️.

I gave it four stars because the little black things that are placed at the four bases at the bottom and at the four poles at the top are EXTREMELY flimsy. If you move the shelves they come off and then it scratches the floor. Also the manual for putting it together is useless.

Was desperate for shelves and the heavy duty ones I've bought over and over have been sold out for months. Couldn't reach the display in the store to test, but i had (past tense) faith in Sam's so i drove 80 miles to the closest Sam's with the shelves. Got them home and started to put them together and here's where the "fun" starts: 1.) The steel literally flexes in your hands a full 90 degrees. It is not doubled up like the good shelves (which wouldn't flex, btw) 2.) The connectors are laughable. Don't put ANY weight above the middle connector. 3.) The shelves themselves are decent, but if you plan on putting the advertised 600lb per shelf weight limit, plan on buying thicker plywood. 4.) Did i mention the flex? 5.) While putting the shelves together, that flex thing i mentioned makes it darn near impossible to do this yourself. To make things even better: the steel is sharp and when it smacks you in the back of the head because the idiotic braces flex, you get cut. Head cuts bleed. Bad. 6.) putting it back into the box is oddly satisfying. 7.) Paying double the price for the same shelves (only heavy doubled steel) at home Depot or Lowe's is totally worth it. And they're 6" deeper.
