These racks are strong. You'll notice the middle stringer is a truss style which adds to the rack capacity, also the main wires run the short direction, which uses more material, but makes it super strong. I've researched the best vale for chrome wire shelving and for the price I've ended up buying from Sam's every time. The fact that they come with Casters, and can be split into 2 shelves is also an extra bonus. I'd give this 8 stars if I could.

Overall it is a decent product. However, don't be surprised if you place in those clamps and they are not perfectly leveled with the other 3 poles. Especially, when it comes to putting the clamps at the bottom nearest the wheels / feet of this product.

I purchased tonight in store, due to the horror stories about these racks being delivered. My mistake. Hauled this rack all the way home, and upstairs, to discover two of the shelves are bent beyond repair. Contacted online support, and was told that they can only assist delivery customers. After a lot of consideration, decided there's no way I'm lugging this behemoth all the way back to the store. I'm now owner of 2/3rds of a rack system, as the other two shelves are scrap metal. I'm sure it was packed this way, as I purposely picked the most beautiful box from within the stack at the store, but either way, I've payed stupid tax, and will now be assembling any future purchase of these racks, in the store's parking lot, before bringing home. That'd be my suggestion for you, if you want to avoid a headache.

I have an older version of this rack that's held up great so I bought another. Rust, probably due to poor plating on all the shelves in the same general area. Very disappointed. By the time I started assembly and noticed I decided I was too far along to try to repack everything and return it plus I would have had to get a second person to get it back in the truck.

First of all its a great shelving product. I bought it for use in shelving groceries that I buy in bulk from Sam's. It serves this purpose very well especially with case boxes. I also do canning and am finding i have found a way for the two to live in harmony side by side literally. The only issue i had was with the instructions. The instructions are more set to making 2 shelving stands instead of what the picture and intial purchase is all about the 6 tier shelving. Let's not forgot to put the instructions in there for those that do not want 2 separate shelving systems. Other than that great product.

I bought five of these shelves for my basement utility room and they are fabulous. It took me and a friend a couple of hours to put them all together, but not a problem. They are larger and hold more weight than previous shelves I bought for my garage. I would highly recommend these shelves with casters as it makes it easy to move the shelves and clean underneath or behind. They also have plastic shelf liners that make it great for even putting small things on the shelves. I spent many hours looking for the best price on these industrial shelves and they can't be beat!

These shelves are actually 47 inches wide, 45 inches between the poles if you plan to use storage containers and slightly less than 18 inches deep, with only 15.5 inches between the poles. I have to either return the shelves or get smaller storage totes

The only reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars...one shelf was bent when I received it. This wasn't due to shipping damage. The bend shelf was in the middle of the packaging. I was able to support it on the garage floor with a 2x4 and apply some of momma's good old collected cooking (my body weight) and with some carefully applied pressure, you can't really tell it was bent, unless you look really close. Other than that, these are well made, heavy duty and come with the option to use the supplied wheel kit or leveling feet.

Quality control appears to be an issue. One of three boxes I ordered came damaged and incomplete. That box consisted of eight sections to complete the four poles. However, there were five lower sections and three upper sections included for the poles. I was able to assemble four poles, but one pole does not look like the other three poles. When the four poles were completely assembled, the fourth pole did not have a cap and I was unable to put a cap on the fourth pole. Also in that same box, the brakes on one of the wheels does not lock, just spins, regardless of how you press it. The other two boxes were complete and we were able to assemble per instructions. I am happy with two of the three shelving units I purchased. Overall, the product works and looks good. I did not return the defective unit because it was too much trouble to disassemble and repackage. I would recommend this to a friend with a caveat; check all boxes for included parts before assembling and discovering a need to return.

These came highly recommended by a friend, and I really like them, too. I found them difficult to put together--it's awkward to get started, the instructions are not clear, and I think the first one I put together is not as solid as it could be. But the second one was much easier and faster, and it is very solid. (Hints: It's easier to put the casters/wheels on AFTER it's assembled, contrary to the written instructions. Otherwise it just rolls around while you put it together. And make sure the locking plastic clips are really together and snug in place before adding the shelves. You WILL want to use a rubber mallet....) I really like that I can roll it around easily, which means I can line them out and pull one out as I need to access it. For the money, these are handsome, solid units, and I recommend them.
