The shelving unit is very sturdy and well made, just wasn't expecting it to have plastic shelves, I looked at the one in the store and got the number off it before I ordered, but I don't remember it having plastic shelves, the frame is metal, but the shelf is plastic. I couldn't find a number on the boxes that they came in to see if it matched the one I ordered

We have three of the original version and they are definitely sturdier. The new design has a small plastic connector for the corner sections. Previous design used a metal connector that was much larger and sturdier. The new version can easily come apart at the connecting spot. Makes moving them risky. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD DESIGN!

Very sturdy and stable. I was able to put it together, on my own, in less than an hour. I replaced 2 very weak and wobbly plastic shelving units that nearly collapsed from the weight and poor fit and design of the shelves. This one holds all of that and more without a problem.

These are absolute junk. I bought the same shelf over a year ago. After my initial purchase I checked the product page constantly only to find it always out of stock. I waited with crossed fingers for over a year, until recently these came back in stock. The metal on this new unit is a different color, it is flimsy, and is nearly impossible to fit it together effectively. Clearly the sourcing for these shelves changed and the new ones are terrible.

I started purchasing these shelves almost 10 years ago when they were made by the original manufacturer for Sam's Club. They have changed the way these shelves are made nearly 5 times since then. Originally any shelf could be placed in any location from top to bottom, with strong metal brackets holding the top and bottom sections together. Also, the frame was steel and could hold a combined total of 6,500 pounds of weight or 650 pounds per shelf. The new ones are FAR from this design. Now, to prevent falling, you must place one shelf in the middle, because you are no longer provided with the strong metal brackets, but instead plastic stubs that simply prevent the top and bottom sections from slipping out of place during assembly. Also, with the new lighter fiberglass design, the frame no longer holds 6,500 pounds, but 4,000 pounds. While this is still impressive if you are not planning on holding more than that, the frame now bends easily as you put it together. This was once my go to shelf, as I own about 15 of them in my garage. Sadly, I returned my most recent one and I will not be purchasing any more until the quality is improved. The original shelves were only $70 each and an average adult could stand on a shelf. Now, the shelf can barely hold itself together and is a whopping $90. THIS SHELF IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY ANYMORE.

The shelves are a strong quality. The product in shipping was damaged. Each shelf had 1 or more corners chipped or broken. The banding that was placed around the package caused some of the frame to be misshapen. I didn't return the items, because of personal demand. I will be very cautious about ordering again.

I purchased one for my garage while it was on sale. Assembly is easy but the unit is very flimsy and the shelves were already bowed straight from the box. Shelves are made of thin plywood coated by plastic, ergo I would be absolutely amazed if it could hold the weight it is claims to be able to handle. Once assembled, it was not sturdy as the metal is thin and the brackets do not stay connected due to a cheap, "tool-free" design. I'm returning it today and will spend more for a product of higher quality, as this won't last.

I bought these shelves a while back and they were built sturdy, really sturdy, but I just bought three more, and these are junk. They are a lawsuit waiting to happen. They used to have a strong piece of angle iron that went in between the two leg supports, now all they have is a little piece of plastic that will not hold this together. I had to add my own supports to hold the legs together. It says this unit will hold 4000 pounds, I doubt it will! Sam's has taken a huge hit in the quality department. I think a lot of the positive reviews came from the older better built shelves. I bought these on 9/24/2023, the older ones I bought about three or four years ago. If these units break, I will bring a suit against Sams for anything that breaks.

These shelves are probably the easiest shelves to put together that I have owned. Might need a helping hand to get the bottom put together, but once you have the bottom put together the rest comes together very easily. The legs and shelf runs are nicely powdercoated, the shelf material is solid plastic, heavy enough to hold up to my homebrewing supplies. Wife had wanted the wire shelves Sam's offers, very glad we got these instead. The 24 inch depth gives plenty of space to store tubs.

I purchased the same model shelves years ago and loved them. I'm extremely disappointed this rack as it does not stand up to many of the other Member's Mark products. The shelves arrived damaged and it was very difficult to assemble. The shelves are flimsy; I barely tapped one with a mallet and it bent. The shelving is not sturdy.
