Decent but I wouldn't trust 200 lbs per shelf

We got these shelves for temp storage and noted how they began to creep/sag after a few days without requiring much weight. We placed a 60 lbs box in the middle of the top shelf and it had bowed by about an inch within two days. the other shelf were showing sag as well with around 80-120 lbs on each shelf. Since I've seen it happen with other shelving units, I'd doubt that these would hold 200 lbs per shelf without permanent creep/sag setting in over an extended period.

Very Sturdy. Can’t say enough about it.

Let’s start by saying how sturdy this thing is compared to other plastic shelves I’ve owned. You could put this in your garage or anywhere and put some heavy stuff on it. I am using it right now as a plant starter. After spring I will be using it for its more suitable things. It’s super tall when put together straight up. You can also put it together side by side . The instructions on assembly were super easy to follow and the only issue I had was putting the caps on the top shelf over the holes in the corners. I would recommend this to anyone who needs heavy duty storage shelves . You won’t be disappointed !

Heavy duty plastic shelf.

This five shelf storage rack is perfect for garages or basements that have moisture. My garage is dry but humid. I have bought medal storage racks and they always seem to rust. I love that this one is plastic. I was hesitant at first about how strong it would be. I bought plastic shelving before and it buckled in the middle. This one is very strong. It holds about 1000 pounds. I use it in my garage to store all my grilling items. I store my charcoal and wood pellets high because my dog gets into everything. I will be purchasing more to replace my medal shelving.

Great Shelving Option - But

The five shelves provide a sufficient storage space and steady surface, recommended for an inexpensive shelf. It's plastic but sturdy enough. The ability to separate and have 2 shelf and 3 shelf options with side by side connections is a plus. I bought the shelf specifically to store the same 27 gallon black/yellow bins that Sams sells. It works, but when you add the lid to the bins the storage space between the shelves are not spaced properly. Another 2-3 cm to the shelf legs would be appropriate to maintain stability but also allow the 27 gallon bins w/lid to fit appropriately.

Simple Storage

A relatively lightweight storage system that is very easy to assemble. Individual plastic parts are molded together so nothing is lost or misplaced. The system provides over 15 square feet of storage space. Really like the adjustable leveling feet.

Label pics and weights are incorrect

Does not hold anywhere near weight or totes as advertised. Seems it will hold moderately sized things for decent garage organization. We put a 50 pound Christmas tree on the very top and that shelf started buckling in the middle. It looks as if some mid shelf supports could be placed there or were intended to be there, but there’s nothing there for reinforcement and we still haven’t figured out a way to just do so ourselves. Instructions say to place heavier weighted items on the bottom shelf, which makes sense regardless, but due to size, we intentionally bought this to have the tree up out-of-the-way. Also bought it to load up black and yellow totes pictured, but they don’t fit. We have whatever the most standard size is and they just barely don’t fit, but it seems like the next size under would fit fine. We ended up getting two of them and for general garage organization, they work very well.

We're sorry for this experience, MM. This shelving unit is rated to hold 200 lbs. per shelf when weight is distributed evenly. For maximum stability, please be sure the support poles are fully seated, adjustable feet are leveled, and unit is secured to a wall using the included brackets.

Works for me and the price was right.

This was very easy to assemble. It seems sturdy enough for most garage items. I have a couple of cases of water on it and it appears to handling it just fine. The adjustable feet were a surprise. I didn’t need it but I see how might be a needed feature for many. Nice unit especially for the price.

Great Storage Shelf!

This is a great garage shelf! It only took me about 10 minutes to assemble and was quite easy to do so! It’s heavy duty, holding about 150lbs per shelf. I love that it has 5-tiers and is modular so I can adjust the shelving in multiple ways to maximize my storage. Definitely recommend!!

LOVE these shelves. Top quality!!!

I have to say, this is one of the sturdiest set of shelves I have ever had. They hold up to 1,000 lbs and are 5 shelves high. The nice part about them is they send you an extra set of feet and top hole covers to make a second set, if you don’t want to have it 5 high. You can easily do a three tier set and a two tier set and they send you pieces that side into the side of the shelves and you can attach them to each set. They also send you these “u”” shaped wall attachment pieces to you can secure your shelves in place! I love these and will be buying more!!! And it helps that they look nice, too!

Do not buy!

Can’t handle half of the rated suggested weight. Selves collapse with barely anything on them. The supports are plastic , not g. After they collapse and break apart you’re not able to return the item because it’s broken. These racks are Bad financial investments that don’t work.
