I have purchased several of these shelves in the past; however, the current one that I recently purchased is not near the quality of the previous ones. The metal is thinner and the construction is out of line on the top of the end units. It was nearly impossible to get the top shelf rails to attach. Only after laying the assembled parts on its side on the concrete floor was I able to use a dead blow hammer to beat the attachment points into the slots while using a pry bar to align the tabs. Worst jigsaw puzzle ever!

Solid but messed up. The shelves are strong and sturdy, but one of the supports was damaged and bent. It was so bad, I had to use a ratcheting tie down to pull the frame together to put the last pin in place. Learn from my mistake...buy this at a store and open the box before you leave. Return it as many times as you need so you get a completely undamaged shelf DO NOT BUY ONLINE

I bought two of these for our auxiliary garage. The steel is strong and sturdy. The shelves are easy to assemble by yourself, although an extra second of hands wouldn't hurt. It probably took me less than 15 minutes to build each one. The wire screen that goes across each shelf could be made of stronger material but it's more than adequate for most uses. Once filled, I was very happy with both setups. The ONLY thing I didn't like was the horribly cheap paint job. It's like they used water color on top of the steel instead of baking the color into the steel. If you slide anything across the front of the shelves, you WILL remove paint. Yeah, it's a garage but still the paint job could have and SHOULD HAVE been better. Other than that, these are 5-star shelves at the current price.

This 2500 pound per shelf unit is a very good deal for the money but I would not trust that much weight based on the thin gauge of steel and lack of diagonal braces on the backside and the sides. But I would buy it again for the value and the use I will give it. Make no mistake, this unit will be supporting 1000's of pounds....but good luck on 10,000 :) Each rail has 2 bolt holes on the ends(they are unused).......convenient for making the unit a bit "sturdier" so I drilled them out to about 5/16" and used 32 bolts and nuts to brace it up. The vertical metal pegs used for the shelving bracing they rattle a lot so I glued the head of the peg in place. The stout wire mesh is soon to be replaced with plywood. The 2.5"x2.5" square feet are a bit of a joke....they are tack welded in 3 spots and with 6" caster wheels to be welded in place those square feet had to go. The u-channel vertical framework is rather thin but it welded nicely to the caster wheel structure. The black winkle paint was a nice touch. The unit assembled perfectly. No instructions needed. It's so well thought out for simplicity. I thought long and hard if it was a 4 star or a 5 star. I know some people take stars off for silly things and that's not me. I give it 5 stars because I cannot get this awesome of a shelving unit that is 6 foot wide and 22.5" deep. I modded it a little for my own purposes and as long as 10,000 pounds is not put on it I say it's a 5 star!

I thought I was getting a heavy duty shelf, especially since it’s costly, but it feels so flimsy. Some of the slats didn’t lock into place, even after using the mallet. Although the set up took about 20 mins, I was disappointed. Even the wire racks are flimsy and don’t lock into place, they just move around. The last shelf that we purchased for $100 less was more sturdy that this, and was heavier. I don’t know why that one is out of stock and have been for weeks with none being added any time soon, but this big, expensive, illusion is plentiful. Had the box not been collected for recycling, I would have returned it and just waited or shopped somewhere else.

These are over $100 less expensive than what the big box home improvement stores offer for the exact same size yet they are superior in many ways. They are rated to hold more weight. They are virtually impossible to put together wrong. The build quality is excellent so they are super easy to assemble in about 5 mins. IMO, they look better. The only thing I would do differently is slightly heavier gauge wire for the shelves.

November 29, 2020 Went to Sam's in Joplin Missouri to pick up one of there Members Mark 4-Shelf Industrial Storage Racks with the 10,000Lb rating. Drove over an hour one way to get there and the same to get back home only to find out the welds on the main side supports were dethatching from the uprights. Words cannot describe how upset I am especially after spending over $150.00 and wasting approximately 3-1/2 hors of my day for nothing. As a consumer I should be compensated for this as this was deliberately packaged this way.

Purchased and returned the same day (due to damage) , and purchased another same day and got it home . It too was damaged. Both boxes had VERY minimal exterior box damage. Metal is very thin. Surprised that 3099 people received undamaged units when I received 2 in a row damaged. The packaging quality is poor at least, any mishap in handling from overseas will damage product and possibly allow an unsafe storage rack rated for 10,000 lbs.

These shelves are really great and sturdy, however we had an issue with assembly. The shelves should slide relatively easy into position, but ours could not from the mid-section to the top because the cross beam was welded incorrectly on one side, which twisted the frame just enough for the shelves not to be able to slide into the grooves at all. After a lot of hammering and trying to straighten it, we had to disassemble the whole thing and then turn the side around, which made it more easy to put together- but still not as easy as it should have been. We won't be able to connect shelves to the outside beam not though on that one side bc of that issue.

Rack is sturdy and well built. Pretty simple to put together and has hardware to attach to the wall for safety. Only negative was the box was pretty flimsy and tore up from shipping once it got to me. But it's steel, so it's not like it was going to be easy to damage...
