Over the past 22-yrs, as the owner of a 20ac Garden Center & Nursery, I've bought, assembled and used scores of metal and PVC shelf units. These HDX Shelves were the best value, superb quality and easiest-to-assemble I've ever found! On average, it took less than 10mins to assemble each of the 8 units I bought, to store my "prepping" supplies. I'll be ordering at least 8-10 more as soon as I get the rest of the basement re-organized and set-up. Thanks Home Depot for offering this great alternative to clumsy metal units.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Assemble, Functional, Well Made, Excellent Quality, High Quality of Material, Great Instructions, Sturdy, Looks Great, Looks High End, Good Size & Weight, Nice Design
Yes, I recommend this product.

These shelves are exactly as described and look great:
- easy to assemble with no tools (lay box on floor to tip shelves out) even as a female, senior
- ventilation slots can hold many kitchen tools
- quick to assemble; about 10 minutes start to finish
- sturdy with no bowing
- easy to secure to wall
- easy to clean
- after additional measuring, I have room for another one which I will order today
- would look great in the kitchen rather than a closet if I had room for it
- they will be easy to disassemble if I ever move

I had a mess in the spare room, and this took care of it! No tools required and was very easy to assemble - my 3 year old helped me. Just remember to anchor it to a wall for extra support, and you'll have a great utility shelf.

Instructions do not include a sharp knife to trim the extruded plastic from the holes before the 1-5/8" diameter poles will slide in. "Ventilated" (4 rows of 32 holes 7/8" x 2-3/8") shelves allow light, dirt and any small object to pass through shelf but bigger contents slide on easy. Nice color with ends capped in black, Matte texture surface. Caps for holes on top shelf finishes it off. Comes wrapped in plastic and strapping band; not in a cardboard box. Space between poles on side: 14", front: 31-7/8". Space between 2-3/8" thick shelves: 14-7/8". Feet are 1-1/2" tall. Great shelf unit for the price.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Assemble, Functional, Well Made, Sturdy, Looks Great, Good Size & Weight, Nice Design
Cons: extruded plastic
Yes, I recommend this product.

We needed a shelving unit sturdy enough to withstand our day to day business. We traval from Art Festival to Art Festival putting it up taking and it down each week for 30 weeks. It is durable, easy, lightweight, and is functionable, it can be 3 shelves in a corner, 5 tall in the front holding lots of product or in can be a counter for ckeckout. It's awesome.

Perfect for what I needed. Lightweight material (I easily carried it to and from the car and I'm a 5'2" woman) and suuuper easy to assemble. My 3 year old helped me piece it together. She placed the parts and all I had to do was press them in to fit snugly. Took no more than 5 minutes from it being all wrapped in plastic to finished in my craft room. I will be buying more for my garage. Plus since I am renting, when we move into our first home these will come in handy in almost every room in the house! And they aren't that bad to look at. Until I can afford built in cabinetry I will be using these in my bedrooms and living areas as needed!

Awesome
,PostedDecember 11, 2012
These are great. Bought 5, then ordered 2 more. By the last one, I was getting them assembled in under 5 minutes with no tools or hassle. Our garage is suddenly, blissfully much more organized. I love that they're waterproof and keep things off the floor, since our garage is far from watertight. Only one complaint...they're supposed to hold 150 lbs per shelf, but doesn't seem quite strong enough to hold that much...shelves are already bowing slightly under less weight than that. But great for totes full of winter clothes and such. BTW, these fit perfectly, 2 per shelf: Sterilite 50-quart Shelf Tote.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Assemble, Functional, Sturdy, Good Size & Weight
Yes, I recommend this product.

I cannot believe all these positive reviews. I just assembled 4 units, there were plastic mold marks everywhere. One of the legs looked like Chewbacca. I wound up using my pocket knife to try to get the parts to the point where they would fit together. I discovered too late that they thoughtfully put a nice big mold injection point on the top side of each shelf, raised up in some cases a quarter inch. Thanks, more deburring to do. If I am doing their job, they should pay ME not the other way around. By the end of the second shelf unit I was longing for the quality that is the hallmark of the label 'Made in China.' About 1 in 4 legs was smooth enough to use without shaving something off, but the plastic squeeze out all over the place ruins this product and makes it such a hassle it is not worth it. I've got another 30' of garage shelving to put in, and this product will not be in any of that space.
Cons: Difficult to Assemble
No, I do not recommend this product.

You can't beat these shelves for their design, built-in strength (load capacity) and assembled weight. Plus they will never rust. Simply a must-have for basement, garage and shed storage. Assembly time is just a couple of minutes.

This shelf set was a piece of cake to assemble, is very sturdy and hold a lot on great large heavy-duty shelves...and this coming from a person who loathes assembling anything! Actually 1/2 of it is in the garage and the other shelves are in the back garden. I even bought an extra one for later as it was such a good deal !!

NO STARS. NO QUALITY. NO VALUE. Purchased one at my local Home Depot. Looked good on display. Tried to assemble it. I think this thing is manufactured with absolutely no effort at quality control. Some posts would not fit into the appropriate holes on the higher shelf without superhuman effort, sometimes involving a hammer, which then smashes the shelf. I'm taking it back to Home Depot for a refund.
Cons: Difficult to Assemble
No, I do not recommend this product.

This product is made of "plastic". Although it's rated at 150 lbs. per shelf, my unit sagged in the middle with only can goods (soups and the like) evenly spread out.
Very disappointed, but I should have known better to expect this from a "plastic" shelf.
Get steel shelves for better results.....or use these shelves for light duty, regardless of what the rating states.
