The corner vertical rails used to be joined together by a longer metal bracket. This has been replaced by a very short plastic bracket, that is not stable, nor does it stay in place. Hopefully the weight of the items on the shelves will keep the top half from falling off the bottom.

I’ve owned and assembled shelves of similar construction in the past and found the quality of this one to be poor. The metal is not sufficiently sturdy and was easy bent. The assembly was difficult, despite 3 people working on it. I returned the item to the store.

I would certainly have given these a better rating had they come with all the parts needed to put them together. We ordered two, and one doesn't have all the parts. I have called the necessary people to have the parts replaced, and have yet to receive them. Not only do I not have the replacement pieces, the person I spoke to told me Sam's packages the items themselves, and they are only responsible for letting them know when parts are missing and need to be replaced. Such a big hassle to replace parts that should have been there to begin with!

Ordered 2 of these units for my garage. Boxes are very heavy. Both boxes arrived with the short ends open, and pieces Coming out . At this point, have no idea if all parts are here, but, due to weight, there’s no way to return to the store. Very annoyed!

Good heavy duty 5-shelf storage rack with great adjustability for customization. Ordered 3 for home delivery. Arrived undamaged and timely. 2 people can assemble a rack in about 20 min or so after the first-some learning curve. Instructions are ok. We replaced 2 large wire rack storage units that were to tall and the shelves were quite narrow. These are wide and more useful. Our garage is well organized now. Highly recommended.

These are working well for us. It does help to have 2 people putting it together. One just to hold the vertical bars while you are assembling so they dont fall and get wonky. Moving it did present a problem, if you lifted it by the shelf and not the vertical bars, the shelves could pop out. Once it is in place, it is fine and strong.

These are not the same as the ones I purchased in the past and are very cheaply made. I question if the capacity is as high per shelf as what is being advertised. Thes are a cheaply made stamped steel and not as strong or thick as ones Sam's sold in the past. With that said, they are not terrible shelves but not as nice as the Gorilla Shelves they once sold. Fine for basic storage but I would not load these to the ratings on Sam's site. No way - no how as the metal is flimsy, and the shelf material does not seem strong.

I have purchased 5 of these over the years. The 2 I recently purchased appear slightly different in that the metal seems less rigid when using the rubber mallet to seat things. Overall, though, I highly recommend these shelves. They are easy to put together; especially if there are 2 of you. I love that the shelves are a silky smooth wood material. I put these together in the side my side format vs 5 tall shelves. In doing that, the bottom shelf is up higher but still fits the storage bins (8 27 gal) I plan on putting on them. I assume that is for strength purposes.

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 2 to with which to begin. At first they were a bit challenging. Im a guy who reads the directions last. After some missteps I finally got the hang of the assembly. Then I ourchased 2 more and assenbled them alone in about 15 minutes each. They're quite sturdy and stout. I'm quite okeased with them.
