Storage Organizer Heavy Duty

Pictures are VERY MISLEADING. Oh, and we only got 1 set, not 3 as we paid for. Very small, not very sturdy, I can’t believe I just wasted my time putting this together. Oh, and FYI Costco has larger shelves for industrial use for $10 more. SOO much better than this junk.

We shopped around quite a while for storage solutions for our garage, as we just merged two households worth of stuff and have a mish-mash of items all over the place, piled high. I settled on this listing because it seemed like a great value, considering it came with the 3 individual units we could place together or separate throughout our garage.The shipping boxes were heavy- but not as heavy as a single Gorilla Rack of similar measurements- We received one box by itself, and 2 bound together, though each box seemed it's own sales piece, each with instructions inside.I cite this, specifically because the instructions we received state each shelf can support 330lbs. Shelf, no unit. Either this is a translation error, or deceptive and really means each board, if put to a 330lb test could withstand the weight, but not the unit itself. The steel frame is sturdy but bends and will buckle under average pressure. We also find this claim to be unlikely given the fact our Gorilla Rack says each shelving unit supports 200lbs....a 130lb difference, which does not seem likely.While you can use other shelving systems to connect the frames and make workbenches, and other non traditional shelving storage these seem like they are best stationery, or side by side. There is no way to connect them without additional hardware.Construction is very straight forward and you will not need the instructions once you have the bottom corners in place- however you will want a sturdy (rubber) mallet to make sure your shelf notches latch into place all the way. Be careful and do not put excessive force on the frame corners while building as it is very easy to warp without the structure of the unit and boards to stabilize it.In some cases, while building, we noticed the interlocking notches on the assembly would pop up, or not want to seat into place. In these cases we had luck with removing a side panel and flipping it upside down....There is a clear upside and downside on each side panel, as one edge is thicker than the other to allow more support, and we do not suggest doing this unless it is a MUST solution. For us, our problem areas in assembly were the very top shelf.We also couldn't figure out how a board was supposed to go at the very top of the unit (as in the photos) as there would be no edge to hold the board in place if the top-most pegs were used. In the end, we put our top shelf 1 peg hole down.All in all, for the cost these are great organization shelves and will hold a fair amount of weight. 330lbs, please don't try that on an assembled unit, but we did fill each shelf with over 60lbs each and the unit seems quite strong in place. We also love that these are only about 1 foot deep, so they fit in may little open areas in our garage, and are easy enough to manipulate and move when empty.In our photos you will see some odd warping on a few section of side panels on a completed unit- we will update over time if this becomes more than a minor visible flaw.

Item is not as described. It’s not compact as shown in the picture. The many small pieces make it flimsy. You may have trouble returning it!!No free return and it’s pricey. Very disappointed.

Pictures are deceiving. You can't construct them as seen in the above picture. Also, metal support/legs were so thin and bent from delivery. I had to bend some other them just to pit it together. If i could do it over, i would go with something else.

Very very cheap quality. And they won’t let you return it.

Update - the third shelf arrived the next dayI only received two shelves instead of the 3 I paid for. I emailed the seller in hopes they actually send me the third or can tell me where the heck it is.There's nothing industrial or heavy duty about these. The long pieces that the braces go into bend VERY easily. Two of them got stuck together, I had to wedge my hand in between and break them apart with a rubber mallet. My hand was pretty banged up after and the piece was a bit bend from hitting it with a rubber mallet.Some of the pieces wouldn't stay attached, like the rivet part was too loose or something. The written instructions were insanely confusing, I just went off the product photos to put it together.After handling the shelves my hands had splinters in them and were very red and itchy. Washing them repeatedly did nothing.The photos might be misleading but it does have the size on the photos, so it was small like I imagined it would be. They do NOT stand next to each other like the photo. If you look at the product photo they were photoshopped next to each other with no gap. They absolutely will not stand next to each other with no gap.I don't think the shelves are worth more than $20-30 bucks each.

I purchased two sets for my garage. They assembled easily and quickly. I joined three together using zip ties to make a sturdy assembly. These I attached to my garage wall to keep them stabilized. I connected two other sets together and attached them to the garage wall. The third set I kept separate. I was able to do this because of the flexibility of three separate assemblies per set.
