Mixed review,
November 19, 2009
By PieTown
"If you purchase this shelving intending to use it as two 36" high units side-by-side, it is great. However, if you wish to assemble it as a 72" single unit, the join is very poorly designed. The top post butts atop the bottom post and the two are held together by the shelf itself. They are difficult to assemble and do not stay properly aligned. I doubt that they will support 4000# as advertised."

Easy assembly & strong shelves!,
September 28, 2009
By Steph1333
"I purchased 4 of these to use in my garage for storage, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I assembled them myself, and each one took me around 15-20 minutes...only because I was doing this solo.
I would like to have seen a more substantial bolt or something joining the top and bottom half together. One of the corners of my shelf also chipped a bit on the metal when I laid it in.
Overall, though...excellent quality for the price and perfect for my intended use!"

Great Product!,
August 29, 2009
By KCDJ
"I have four of these units that i use to store several thousand LP records that weight a ton! We have had them in use for several years with NO problems. The shelves have NOT sagged.
I also use several of these shelves in my shop to hold heavy sound equipment for my business. Still no problems.
They go together very easily....as long as you have a some common sense.
No need for bailing wire, duck tape, or any bolting.
I will be buying more as needed."

5 shelf heavy duty steel shelving/72h/48w/24d,
June 27, 2009
By trance3
"this is very time consuming to put together, and even with a rubber mallot. shelving was still shaky after all 5/8 particle board was installed, and bolted to wall. rivets are not truly aligned to fit into frame- i had to really pound the frame together. particle board chiped apart in corners- need a thicker board than the 5/8 board that is included. would not recommend for anyone who has no prior building experience of shelving."

Inexpensive but not sturdy,
June 22, 2009
By blesbok
"These shelves are inexpensive and easy to assemble, but not heavy duty. They look like the ubiquitous grey industrial shelves except the metal columns and rails and the particle board shelves are much thinner. The joint between the top and bottom halves is fundamentally flawed and really should be bolted. The 4000lb load rating is a joke."

Workforce 5 shelves, 24x48x72,
May 15, 2009
By emiguy
"The shelves assembled easily, moved to the final location easily (wooden floor of my barn), and are QUITE durable. My mom and dad bought 8 packs of these and we had them installed in less than an hour. To make them even more stable (they are already quite stable when standing freely), I suggest bolting a 48in x 16in shear panel of 1/2in plywood across the back of the shelf. Do this about mid way up. I did this and screwed the panel to the studs of my barn wall. Not even a tornado could pull them off the wall!! Cost...fair price......Weight.....a bit heavy but STURDY!!....Assembly.....straight forward. if you buy more than one unit, they can be bolted together next to each other, or even across from each other. If across from each other, span the gap with 2x4's or 2x6's and put some plywood on top.....voila!! Instant loft (bolt them to the wall though....) Have a great day!!"

Holds up to the weight. Great storage solution.,
May 8, 2009
By garagerat
"This shelf is a great solution to your storage needs. It DOES hold a lot of weight (unlike what I have read in other reviews of this product). We stored 2 sets of sand tires on top (not light), 50 lb bag of lawn fertilizer next shelf (and other misc items), A large A/C window unit next shelf (very heavy), misc items on the 4th shelf (quite a bit of weight), and 20 or so 1 gallon cans of paint and stain on the bottom shelf (very heavy). The unit has held up to all the weight for over 4 years now and not one shelf is showing any sign of bowing or strain.
It may be a bit difficult to assemble but worth it in the end. Moving it is easy as well. Just simply remove the wood shelves and it is light as a feather. Only draw back is it is a bit larger so smaller spaces may not be practical for this shelving unit. I would recommend this product to a friend."

These shelves are going back tomorrow,
April 28, 2009
By FloridaHomeowner
"They don't allow obscenities on here so I can't repeat what I said while trying to assemble the first of three. I couldn't even get the second shelve on because the holes don't line up and the posts keep slipping. I have had more than enough and they are going back tomorrow morning."

Needed Fast Storage,
April 8, 2009
By BillTb
"I needed to get some shelves quickly, for my storage unit, and was very pleased to find them at Depot. Made a ten minute trip to Depot, loaded them up, built them up. In an afternoon I had loaded my storage zone unit and saved rental costs of another unit. For about $220 I save $160 a in fees."

Avoid,
March 26, 2009
By individual
"I purchased 5 of these. Please don't make the same mistake I did. I specifically purchased these because the shelves were completely solid unlike the shelves on the all metal units. The second reason I purchased I purchased these was because these units were suppose to hold more weight than any of the other shelving units we looked at. On every single unit, every single shelf bowed severely. When they start bowing you have to immediately empty everything on the shelf and flip the board over otherwise it eventually will fall completely through. And when you do flip the board over, good luck trying to store things because you have a bowed mound to deal with. To give you an idea of the weight I had on the shelf: For instance one shelf had all shampoo and conditioner bottles--regular size......these were just one row high NOT stacked on each top of each other but lined up one behind the other and the shelves simply could not handle this. I think that might have been the heaviest items I had on those shelves. These were just awful units."

Very solid purchase,
March 4, 2009
By MidasDayton
"I run a Midas shop in Dayton. The prior manager bought some units from an industrial distributor which cost like 3x as much as these. When we needed more, we bought them at Home Depot and they are just about as good as our older ones. Assembly is pretty easy. Lots of storage for the price. Good to see that they are made in the US by union labor. Certainly strong enough for any of our applications."

Buy Duck Tape and Bailing Wire.,
February 26, 2009
By Zoic
"I bought the product becasue I had to put a lot of weight on the shelves. Tools, chains, tools boxes, nut and bolt bins, Etc. 4000lb capacity perfect just what I needed. Until I put this thing together.
I needed duck tape to hold the upper section together with the lower section. I used wire to tie the rack to the wall so it would stand up right and not fall over. Then I used more duck tape to keep the shelve side supports from moving out ward when placing a load on the shelves, causing the shelves to fall through. I fully expect to go out in the morning and see everything on the floor in a heaping pile.
I will be retro fitting with 1/2 inch plywood. Drilling into the shelves through the shelve supports to keep the metal from pushing away when placing a heavy load on the shelves. Just remember you get what you pay for.
Good luck if you buy, and Buy Duck Tape and Bailing Wire if you do. Not to mention plywood and screws."

purchased two shelves,
February 11, 2009
By dmcfalcon
"purchased two shelves for office/ supply storage room, and needed to get more. Would rather of bought more levels or sections rather than two. These are fine and just what we needed, but we'd rather have more shelves than have to buy that 3rd unit."

Easy to put together,
January 5, 2009
By mkeybr
"I am very pleased with these shelves. They required only a hammer to put together, and despite its large size, took me, a 50 yo woman, only an hour and a half to construct. While I was pessimistic re: how much weight it could hold, I have filled all five shelves with heavy electrical equipment, boxes of books and other items that previously were strewn all over the garage and other rooms in the house. As long as the weight of items is spread across the shelves, it likely will live up to its claim of supporting 4000 lb in total. My only criticism- there are plastic "caps" provided for the tops of each support beam, but there should be some for the bottom of those as well, as it would facilitate sliding the finished product into place (the finished product is VERY heavy)."

Does what it should, but...,
December 26, 2008
By LJG3
"I've had two of these in my basement for years now. It does the job as advertised. The shelves are sturdy, spacious, and reliable. Perhaps a bit too rigid, which might be a problem if your basement floor has imprefections in it as mine does.
BUT...
watch out when the shelves get wet!
I had a gallon of paint rust through (should have thrown it out YEARS ago) and the wet paint destroyed the particle board shelf. The shelf, with about 10 other gallons of paint on it, collapsed. So, don't let them get wet."
