At first I had problems assembling, but then I figured it's all preset. The lines on the poles are where the black pieces snap together. Makes every shelf the exact distance from each other for the storage bins to fit. I assembled by myself, would have been faster if I waited for my husband, but I was excited to receive and needed to store and organize some things in the garage. I'm ordering maybe 2 more, i loved it that much, especially because of the wheels.

This was very disappointing. The directions don't clearly show that the shelf has an up and a down due to the corners needing to slide over the plastic grommets. You install the plastic halves of these grommets around each corner pole. The grommets DID NOT snap together around the pole making it difficult to slide shelf over the grommets. This process ultimately keeps the shelf in place and the shelf unit stable. There are no markings to help align each of the 4 corners for each of the 4 shelves…After some semblance of assembly, trying to move the unit without it coming apart or shelves sliding down was impossible. Good luck if you decide to save money purchasing this piece.

I can't stand up very long, so I put most of it together sitting on a chair. I did wrap electric tape around the little pieces that snap together, and I did tap each shelf down with a rubber mallet. I used the wheels but am keeping the leveling feet in case I want to add heavier items later. I found the whole process very easy and am going to get a second unit soon.

Nothing like stacking my stackable storage boxes on a stackable storage shelf to make them double stackable. If it wasn’t for this stackable storage shelf, I would have to move 3 boxes to get my bottom Christmas box, once a year, for the rest of my life!

Thanks Ruby for your suggestion on using tape. I used black electrical tape and it worked great. I don't even have to remove it because it barely shows. Directions were simple and to the point.

Needs more reinforcement on the shelfs. Would also be good if the poles had twice the number of notches as I have variation in tote sizes and so could more efficiently utilize the shelves.

They are very easy and fast to assemble. I love that I can roll them anywhere I need. They fit the 27 gallon totes great but if there is a lot of weight to the tote the shelf wires will bend. I have totes that fit in the weight they say it can hold but it bent the wires. Luckily I have several totes that needed storage but unfortunately I can't use it for the ones I originally planned to use it for.

I bought this 4 tier rack system to initially store totes of dog food and treats, but the 27 gallon totes I am using didn’t allow me to easily access the dog food while on the shelf with limited access to food and weight restrictions. I did use this 4 tier rack system to store cleaning supplies and small cleaning gadgets. I was very easy to assemble and the instructions are very easy to understand. I think if I used smaller size totes for food storage it would have worked perfectly. As the old motto

I had the same experience. Opened the box too late to return and now I am stuck with these useless shelves. I even looked up a couple of videos on you tube on how to build these things because I was sure I was doing something wrong. (BTW the "directions" in the box are terrible.) One of the videos suggested taping the shelves together because he could not get the little black things, that are supposed to snap together to hold up the shelves, to snap together as much as he tried. Stay away if you don't want to waste your time and money.

These are the best tote storage racks on the market because of the great price and the fact they have wheels which makes all the difference for ease of use. Easy to put together, too.
