Not made like they used to be

I'd purchased 8 of these shelves over the years for use in my garage and for my wife's pottery business storage room. I was impressed with how much they could be loaded, and even after assembling/disassembling many times the connections were very strong and tight (I still need a rubber mallet to knock the crossmembers loose during disassembly and then to reconnect them). I recently wanted an additional unit for my garage, and after putting it together today I see it's nowhere near the quality it was in the past. The first clue was when I picked up the box - the weight was far less than before. The metal framing is now actually quite flimsy,far thinner than before, and the connections very loose. No rubber mallet needed for this one... Assembly was a bit of a pain because of the loose connections, and I ended up using clamps to help hold the parts in place. Repositioning the shelf after I put it together knocked many of the crossmembers loose, even with the shelves on it. That being said, once assembled and in place, it seems to be adequate for what I needed. I would not likely purchase it again, however.

Not as described/pictured; don't buy at full price

Top & bottom uprights do NOT interlock as pictured; all 8 pieces are identical & merely rest on top of each other. One shelf/bracket set must be used to hold them together; should have couplings instead for stability. Difficult to assemble top & bottom by yourself, but can be done. Also, not "hidden slot-post design" as stated in ad copy. No 8 plastic end caps as stated in instructions, either. Bought 2 units at $44.95 (each) one-day sale price; arrived by FedEx undamaged

Poor Quality

I have bought similar shelves to this over the last 10 years from Sams. I am extremely disappointed in the quality of my most recent purchase of this item. It took me an excessive amount of time to assemble this unit due to the fact that the rivets will not seat into the grooves and they keep popping out even after getting multiple layers in place. It appears that you can still get the better quality shelves, but they are only offered online. I thought they were still carrying the good quality in store. Spend the extra money and get the muscle rack!

I wouldn't if I were you

I bought a few of these to help organize my garage, and am returning 2 of them. Should be 3 but I already have it assembled after much frustration and a lot of screaming. The instructions show you just tap the pieces in with a mallet, but that doesn't work at all since they always pop out. I assembled 1 by myself, which was a nightmare. Then trying to assemble another one with help, I just gave up because no matter what I did, it wouldn't stay in. I thought about investing in super glue, but it won't work on metal. Then even debated metal glue that takes time to cure, and soldering the pieces together. It just doesn't work and I'm disappointed in them as a whole.

Too Flimsy!

Industrial strength?! Maybe in China, but not in the U.S. I've been trying half the morning to assemble this awful thing. I have this exact model that I bought several years ago, and the difference in quality is obvious. The metal is now so thin that when you click one end into place, the other end pops back out. If I can ever get it together, and I'm very careful loading it, it might hold my boxes OK. I had planned on buying a dozen of these when we build our new house, but now I am going to have to rethink that decision.

Good Value, Not Comercial

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.

safety hazard, flimsy, unstable

Ordered 4, so flimsy, took 3 to hold pieces to put together. Metal bracket warped so side keeps collasping. Dismantling and returning as there is little doubt that these will collaspse at some point and the potential injury to children, adults and pets would be devasting. Contacted member services for return options...was disconnected aka "hung up" before I was done explaining the issue.

Not even worth it in sale

Almost impossible to assemble. Rivets do not hold, just fall in and out of place. There is no lifting the top to place on the bottom. So tried building the top onto the bottom and found out one of the legs was not indented for the top to sit in place, so now I can not put them together. Waste of time and money. Will not hold what it states do to the loose rivets and amount of wobble.

Poor design. Poor quality.

Sooooheavy I bought it had to be good. Nope! The notches for shelves to sit in are not snug enough… just adding a shelf forces others to pop out… even after hitting with mallot. Don’t even think of moving it… one piece lifts… they all lift. And… any weight on the shelf then displaces distribution and stability is challenged. On the positive… if you just want to look at it, not use it, or move it… it’s a very pretty shelving unit.

Frustrated assembler
1 out of 5 stars review

Wish I could give it ZERO stars.

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
