We love these storage racks! We bought one a year ago and liked them so much that we bought 2 more for our basement storage. They are great for storing totes, boxes, pantry items, etc.

Broken shelves

Hard to put together

Very weak and unstable

Good purchase

I purchased 2 of these units in 2018…loved them…so easy to put together. I loved them so much I bought another in Oct 2021. I decided I wanted one more since I was so pleased with the first 3, so in March 2023 I purchased a new one. This new shelving unit was unbelievably hard to put together. I had to use a hammer to smash all the connections into place. It is not the same quality of the previously purchased member’s mark units. And…the price increased by $25 since my last purchase. Not worth it.

I bought 3 of these shelves 4 years ago and I was very pleased with how sturdy they were. Naturally, when I needed another one I bought the same one again. Only to find out the metal was flimsier, the powder coat finish not as nice, the brackets that connect the corner pieces don't have a stop bump to prevent them from sliding down into the corner piece, and the wood shelf is thinner, lighter and prone to chipping. I chipped the corners just installing them. The difference between how the older shelves look and new one is astounding! However, the price is the same! I want my money back!

These shelves are just, downright, terrible. The design is poorly thought out. It's a nightmare to assembly by yourself and you inevitably bend a number of the rivets and bars having to hammer them (which it recommends) into place. the material is not nearly as strong as you might think (hence the bending from a rubber mallet.) The vertical posts consists of two posts per corner and the method of connecting them leaves one wondering when they're going to collapse. Go to Home Depot, buy the equivalent heavy duty plastic ones. Still plenty of load bearing capacaity, much easier to assemble, and much easier to disassemble if you ever move or want to rearrange shelves. These, i'll definitely be leaving behind when I move next year.

Junk! I bought these as I thought they were the same old Member's Mark shelves I purchased years ago, but I'm extremely disappointed in the new "Armadillo" version. The paint is rough and scratches itself off, way worse than the nice powder coating on my older Member's Mark shelves. The fit for the keyhole/peg is horrible, but forget using a rubber mallet because you'll bend the paper-thin metal shelf brackets with barely a tap. The shelves are flimsy too; I barely tapped one with a mallet to try to get it in and it chipped off a corner like it was made of sawdust. I'm extremely disappointed. I've owned about 5 different brands of this type of shelf and these are the worst by a longshot. I'm too far into the project for it to be worth returning, so buyer beware!

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.
