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’ve bought this set of shelves before they redesigned it. The new design now has a difficult to manage splice midway up the shelves. It’s kind of a lap joint that doesn’t want to stay together during assembly. Go for the more heavy duty version (and slightly more expensive) of the Members Mark shelving unit.

I should have checked the online reviews first. Like many people mentioned, mine came opened with all the shelves damaged (ordered 3 of them). I thought I would live with it, as it was for the basement. After a month or 2 when I started assembling, I realized there were many missing racks that probably fell down from the opened package. it was too late to return and now I'm stuck with useless pieces, I don't know what to do. Would NEVER recommend buying this online!

These are the best value for.money you are going to find. I have 20 of them in various places in my house/garage/basement. They are super sturdy. It IS easier to put them together with someone to help, but not impossible I'm a single mom with a toddler. Assembly does not require screws, just pushing two buttons and sliding them down into place.

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.

These are heavy. Two people are needed to move the box. I had them shipped, and put them together without assistance. But, I do not think the average size person can put these together alone. You will need a friend to assist with assembly. Be sure you have them where you will want them to be for always when you put the shelves in. $39 was a deal, but I would not pay more than that for them. They will do the job, but there are better options at the higher price.

These are NOT fool-proof like other more expensive shelves. The issue is the joint of the beams, which normally requires two person to put together. Hence, you get what you paid for. However, It is cheap, especially in the post-covid world we are living in. It's very tall and offers 6 shelves. I have bought 8+ of these and will keep buying for light to medium boxes.

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.

I collect comic books so the shelving I needed had to be strong and stable. These fit the bill perfectly. Not only are they strong but they are also very stable. They can be arranged in a number of configurations to fit any area you have. I bought 5 sets and I'm extremely happy with them.

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.
