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.

I have bought several of these shelves over the years and they are a good value when a sale comes around. However the quality has dropped noticeably. First off it is not possible to assemble the shelves as the instructions state. The rails are too flimsy and do not hold their shape, and the supports fall off with the slightest bit of pressure during assembly. This is a two-person job. Aside from that, the tolerances are all over the places. Some of the shelves I had to hammer the supports in, and other had 0 resistance at all and would bounce out. Also, one of the supports had a rivet that fell off when I picked it up. Very not impressed.

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 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.

We bought this shelving unit to use in our garage to store our camping equipment. It took 3 of us to put together because no 1 person has enough arms to hold the shelf support beams while assembling other pieces. We looked like a tangled octopus trying to hold it together. Then, one of the rivets broke off. We put that beam on the top because we aren't planning to put anything heavy on top anyway. Didn't want to fool with packing it up or we would have taken it back to Sams. I have emailed the company but no response. Don't make the same mistake we did and buy this unit. I wondered why they didn't have any on display...probably afraid someone would pull on it and the whole unit would fall apart. Hopefully the weight on the shelves will keep the rivets seated but if someone grabs a shelf to move it, the unit will fall apart. You are supposed to bump the rivets in with a hammer. We tapped with a rubber mallet till they were seated but they still can come apart easily.

Might be OK if you could ever get to stay together. The short shelf support beams are to loose and hence the shelf supports fall out if you move it. There are a small subset that work somewhat. You can see that the supports are all the way down in the slot with no need for the rubber mallet the instructions call for.

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.

These shelves were very easy to put together with two people. Even with hammering the shelving in place, some still popped out but once items were placed on the shelves the weight kept the shelves in place. We bought shelves for our garage and basement. They worked well for both locations and can easily store heavy items like paint or tools.

You started out selling a name brand on this size and type. Then you switched to your own make. The design and construction size has changed slightly but workable with prior versions. Now, it's gotten cheaper, more flimsy and when you pick up the pieces, they feel more like plastic than even a cheap, thin metal. The only beneficiary is Sam's with lower cost and same selling price. I bought eight shelves. I'm returning all eight and it's off to another source for a better option.

Husband put it together, no problem. Perfect for taking advantage of vertical space internet garage for accessible storage. We looked at other units that would hold more weight with one less shelf, but preferred the additional shelf vs. weight limit.
