These are super sturdy shelves and VERY easy to put together. My husband and I have now bought 4 sets to use (garage and basement). They come together very fast. I do suggest using a rubber end mallet (inexpensive one), however it is not necessary.

Let me say, that this recommends using a rubber mallet. I didn't see that until I bought it. I don't have one, and I needed to get this put together ASAP so we're skipping that part, I think how hard can it be. GET A RUBBER MALLET. I spent probably an hour just trying to get the first section put together. 4 bars, 1 shelf. An hour. And even that took the lord, a hammer, and the entire marine Corp. I was sweating. Had to take it apart and reassemble it several times because it was turned the wrong way, guess I can't read. Anyways, I still couldn't get the rivets in one side, I gave up. Close enough. Then I had to take a break before I decided to wrestle with the other 4 shelves. I haven't finished, I had to stop and warn others of my suffering. Idk what others are doing to get this put together hassle free, maybe some kind of wizardry. The actual quality is good, I think it'll hold the weight I need but next time I'm finding one that uses screws. This has been such an event.

Bought two of these. There are a ton of pieces! Most of which were bent because how cheaply made this product is. If it wasn’t bent from being in the box it quickly bent trying to build this. I took one back and would have taken the second back if it wasn’t entirely too many pieces to transport

I have bought several to organize my basement; a few for toys and games, several for seasonal items like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter decorations, bulky kitchen items that don’t fit in cabinets or pantry, food items from Sams such as cases of water, TP, paper towels, other seasonal items like blankets or clothes packed in storage bins, and books & school supplies. I love them so much I want to buy 4 more for the basement and 2 for the garage!!! I would like to order 6 Member's Mark 5-Shelf Storage Racks today but they are out of stock. Can I have a rain check for today’s price for $44.98?

This is a very good shelving unit for the price. It was relatively easy to put together, my husband and I had it up in about 40 minutes. The only thing I would want the manufacturer to improve is the thickness of the plastic shelves. But it does the job, looks great in our garage and has plenty of shelf space. I recommend this for home garage use, not so much for warehousing.

I've got several of these shelves for my garage and basement and never had a single problem with them. Great quality and they sustain a lot of weight! You can configure the shelves to whatever heights you would like. Very easy to assemble and at a great price - for high quality shelves.

I bought 5 of these units when they were on a pre-holiday sale in 2017. I couldn't be happier! They are very sturdy, easy to assemble and durable. I need to buy another 6-8 units and these will be the only shelves that I buy based on my great experience to-date!

Bought two of these. One was missing instructions and 4 pieces essential to sturdiness of the top and bottom connections. Packaging was not sufficient to prevent 2 bent pieces and small damages to each panel. It looks nice, but not as structurally sound as it should be. Takes 2 people to assemble, as frame won't stay together as it should without someone holding it all together. Okay if not putting on too many items, I would buy a different brand next time.

These will be perfect for our needs (just extra basement storage that no one will see but us) and great for the price, but beware they are flimsy metal sides and particle board shelves. We will definitely scratch the life out of the shelves before too long every time we slide something off and on (and you're definitely sliding things since they're such deep shelves). It will be interesting to see how long they last, but we're pleased with them for now.

I've bought several different brands of this type of shelving. All are constructed in similar fashion and assembled in much the same way. What varies is the thickness of the uprights, the type of shelving inserts (usually particle board) and the connectors (if any) that join the the two uprights. The shelving inserts on this unit are the best I've seen, substantially heavier than most, and with a black finish rather than just plain particleboard which may reduce chipping. The uprights are standard in thickness, adequate to need. A connector to join the two 3' sections is included that makes me feel much more comfortable about the stability of the assembled unit. The pieces all fit together much more easily than on any of the other brands. It was the same assembly process - these just seemed to be manufactured to a more exact tolerance. The regular price I bought at was at the low end of the range for these units. After putting the first together, I went back and bought three more. If this is the type of shelving unit you need, this is the one to buy.
