Getting things delivered by sams is almost more trouble than it is worth. If you are thinking about upgrading to plus to get cheaper delivery dont bother - you can't get anything delivered without dividing it into multiple deliveries. All so you can pay multiple delivery fees. Apparently there is a 350 lbs limit. They don't mention it until you try to check out. Turns out (after souring the picture for a weight because sams doesn't tell you) that 4 shelves weigh in at 350.4 lbs. So two orders later with double the delivery fee and they all come on the same ONE truck. What a rip off.

Bought these shelves to replace a set I got at Sam's 10 years ago. The old ones use nuts'n'bolts and require tools, but I assembled five sets alone with no problem. These new ones are "easy to assemble - no tools!" Except all of the joints are extremely flimsy until the whole unit is together, so GET HELP!! If you try to do it alone, legs will wobble and joiners will bend until they won't go back together. A total waste of money. Returning them today, will get some decent shelves at Home Depot.

This will work for my purposes, but the bars that connect it together bend easily, as do the thin particle board shelves. If it were $75 I'd give it another star, but at $100 the flimsiness was disappointing. My connecting bracket was metal so maybe they reverted from the plastic people mentioned.

Do not believe any of these people saying it's easy to put together. I brought 8 of these and so far out of the first four two of them have been extremely difficult to put together. Random pieces have come broken and or bent. Not worth the purchase unless you have time and lots of patience to put this together. You're probably better off buying something with screws.

I have 3 of the older version of this shelving unit. The newer version definitely skips out on the same quality as the previous version. The newest version is slightly darker in color, and it has cheap smaller plastic tabs that are supposed to connect the lower and upper rails. The 4 pieces that connect to the vertical rails don't fit very well and even when hammered with a rubber mallet still barely want to fit. The older version isues metal connectors for the upper and lower rails that are stronger and overall just work better. I won't be buying this again. Very disappointed they quality went down so much with the price increase.

I never leave reviews, but this product is worth it. We bought two of these shelves, almost 2 years ago. They were easy to put together, and they have held up beautifully! We have them stacked full of storage stuff, and a lot of it is quite heavy. These shelves haven’t bowed, or showed any signs of weakening. 5 star product for sure. I would absolutely recommend purchasing!

It took me (a woman) about 30 minutes to put together by myself. My issue, as I was putting the shelves on I noticed 2 of the 5 shelves are broken. I called the 800# on the paperwork and had to email my receipt and photos of the damaged shelves to start a "warranty claim", but I haven't heard anything back. If I had 5 functional shelves I'd probably give this 5 stars, but im giving it 3 stars (1 star for each shelf I can use). Also, being these shelves are made from particle board, there's no way I'd say they'll hold 800 lbs each!

I bought two units today and put them together. All of the reviews are valid that state how cheaply made these are compared with the ones they used to carry. I bought five of the previous models and were able to assemble them quickly and without help. These two are flimsy. The short plastic pieces you use to joint the two uprights at each corner are laughable. I will have to reinforce the joint with a mending plate because I am afraid of the top half tipping. Also, I couldn't use the bottom holes for the shelf brackets because the corner upright would not sit on the floor; and, the brackets kept coming out of the holes. Also, the little plastic pieces to put on each end of the uprights are on the opposite end of the robust spectrum. Would I buy these again? Probably, if I grit my teeth real hard. If you have another alternative for a shelving unit with solid shelves, I would look at them first.

I bought this when there was a Black Friday pre sale and saw that it was $49.99, so I had to buy two for my garage. I was happy with the purchase and was excited to get it set up. But the day when it arrived and the time I finally got to assemble it. The assembly was awful. There’s so way that one person can put together this shelf without it falling apart. It’s not sturdy at all especially since it wobbles with barely a touch! So I’m thinking... if it’s this difficult to assemble it’s not going to be reliable for me to put heavy things on it like it advertises on the box. So I returned it the same day I was trying to put it together and went with another garage shelf. It’s really disappointing that it didn’t work out.

I bought a couple of these 3-4 years ago and they were excellent for the price. I recently bought 2 more and the quality has gone way down. When you put the old shelves next to the new ones you can clearly see where they cut corners and lowered the quality. I'm giving the new ones 3 out of 5 stars because they are still decent shelves for the price just not nearly as good as they used to be.
