Quite strong

I have been looking for garage shelving for a couple of months now. Most of the plastic stuff doesn't look sturdy enough to last and saw that these were on sale. Bought two yesterday and have one put together now. These things are beasts! And for the price? If you are looking for study and strong and inexpensive, you should buy these. And they have locking wheels!

GOOD STRONG SHELVES. QUALITY IS HIT OR MISS. I HAVE 4 SETS. 2 SETS WERE PERFECT THE OTHER 2 HAD FLAWS. ONE WAS DAMAGED IN SHIPPING WITH ONE SHELVE SO BADLY BENT I WAS UNABLE TO USE IT. THE OTHER ONE HAD A POCKET THAT WENT OVER THE POST NOT WELDED ALL THE WAY AND WOULD NOT SUPPORT ANY WEIGHT. I CALL THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

The fit and finish on the last shelf I bought is not the same as the shelf unit I purchased 6 months ago. The item was poorly packaged and pieces were falling out of the packaging before I even started to unbox it. The main support posts were poorly threaded and when put together they had a bow in them, making it difficult to position the shelves. There are sharp edges everywhere the metal was cut and welded, and there was no sign that any deburring took place.

This thing was so heavy. Hubby had to use a 2-wheel cart to take it downstairs. Once unboxed, we noticed a shelf was bent. I called my local Sam's club where we purchased it from and was told we would need to bring the entire unit back and get a new one. Difficult to get it bundled up to take 45 mins to my Sam's club . We ended up not taking it back and left the bent shelf out as it wouldn't fit over all the poles.

This shelf is sturdy and the wheels are a great addition. I’d definitely buy it again. However, as a woman who’s barely 5’3”, it was really difficult to assemble by myself. I could’ve waited for my husband but where’s the fun in that? The package weighs about 90 pounds and assembled, the shelves are taller than me. After exhausting myself trying to lift each of the shelves/racks over my head and fit all 4 poles in, I ended up using a step ladder. The parts were mostly fine. The poles come in 2 shorter lengths that you screw together and a few weren’t straight, so I had to force them into the shelving holes. And the connector pieces kept popping off. After I got shelf #3 in place, the rest were pretty easy.

Great product. Greatly increased my shelving capacity in my garage. Gotta admit, though, I have an easier time assembling things with nuts and bolts, than with those plastic do-hickeys. Wish you could explain why the weight limitations go from a total of 6000 lbs without wheels, to 800 lbs with wheels. Seems a bit extreme.

We were blessed with ridiculous kitchen storage and after purchasing 2 of these to store pantry items, plants, and small appliances, we look like we have a little professional kitchen! They are very attractive and the shelf liners are fantastic for storing small items without worrying about things falling through.

Just ordered two of these. One was great the other wasn't. One of the corner poles for the second level was threaded incorrectly and wouldn't screw into the first level corner pole. And then, one of the shelves had a slight dent in the corner and would not seat properly onto the plastic shelf holders. Not returning the bad unit due to the weight and size of the parcel. Thankfully, we were able to cobble up corrections for the problems but we shouldn't have had to do that. I'm 50% disappointed in this shelf unit: One unit was good, one was bad.

The box was taped together. After opening the box and examining the shelves it was obvious that it was a returned item. The round shape part of the shelves that fits onto the poles was so damaged that it would not fit. I am very disappointed that Sam's Club would ship out a returned/damaged item.
