Verified Purchase

Nice heavy duty storage rack.

Bought this for my daughter to use as a pantry. Holds a lot of weight. Made with heavy duty steel. We haven't gotten it put together yet as it comes in a lot pieces. Hope all the pieces are there. Otherwise I love it. Wish I had bought a couple more for the garage and storage buildings while they were on sale.

Quality has gone down

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!

Poor Quality Shelving and Packaging

Quality not as good as the shelving I purchased 4-5 years ago. In addition, the first order arrived with damaged shelves. The replacement order also arrived with damaged shelves. Unless Sam's improves packaging (or improves quality of shelving), this will continue to be a problem. I was satisfied with the original shelving; would not recommend this newer version. See attached pictures.

Lightweight at best

Needs a center support bar. The shelves bow in the middle with just a little bit of weight. Wish I had known before I had it half assembled. The other shelf unit I bought from Sams Club was great. This one gets a zero unless you want to store potato chips.

cannot be assembled as purchased

if you bought these in the past they came with metal angle pieces to join the upright posts. These are now tiny plastic pieces less than 3/4" tall. They will not hold the post sections. I had to make 2" long pieces out of 1" angle iron to join the posts. Picture is my index finger pointing at the included plastic joiner and the angle piece I made.

Stacking connectors are flawed

Beware there is a real chance of collapse if heavy items are placed up top. Really poor engineering, the upper section is loosely stacked on top of the lower unit using a very thin plastic connector. Adults and children may be tempted to step on a lower shelf to reach the top, the top section could easily disconnect and collapse.

Great shelving

I bought this shelving for my garage actually 4 units, it gave me enough storage to get everything in order. Putting together this shelving was super easy after the initial unit was assembled I could assemble one unit in 15 minutes and no tools except a mallet. I noticed it is rated for 800 pounds per shelf I would not try to test this unit at 800 pounds or even close to that. While these units are very strong and sturdy I put my heavy items like a meat slicer at the end for extra support. I believe the 48" rails could bow out if too much weight is put in the middle of shelf, just my opinion.

Cheap junk. Plastic load-bearing parts

No way this has a 4000lb capacity. Maybe it could support the shadow of something that weighs 4000lbs, but I very much doubt it could support 100lbs. The tabs that literally hold everything together and bear all of the weight of the shelves are thin plastic and are easily snapped-off just when you are assembling it. Don't even think about moving it after you assemble it, or it will collapse under its own weight. So disappointing.

USE TO BE A GOOD SHELF, NOW THE WORST!

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.

why the price hike?

I purchase one in February of 2022 for $69.99. A great price if you ask me. I wish I bought more then. Recent reviews state the new version using the same model numbers have plastic connections now instead of the metal connections for holding the shelves up. That’s a ridiculous change to make in addition to a price hike of $25!!! I didn’t think that anyone at Samsclub would allow a price adjustment. I ask anyway since the new version of this same model is obviously inferior due to the change in the connectors but I got shut down real fast.
