Am I lucky! This product is all I could ask for. It goes together "blindfolded". It appears very well made and should not only handle my "stuff" but last till I call it quits. I'm going to order a few more because I want to line one walkway from the carport door to the beginning of our sunroom. Our two cats have just found a nice "lookout" shelf for themselves! You may not be inclined to so do, but being a model plane builder who uses various "superglues" I put a drop or two of the super thin which "wicked" into each post - my shelf is now bonded together and will never come apart. To me, this is a great product at a reasonable price which Amazon sent "post haste"...TNX, Amazon and MFR.!

I like my shelf unit, it took about 10 to 12 minutes to assemble. I brought the shelf unit for my classroom, it seems very strong. I like the idea of being able to disassemble the unit for summer storage(when the custodians need to clean the floors and make repairs to the room).

Just got my shelving unit and I have to say that it is exactly what I was looking for. It fit perfectly in the space I needed and the shelves hold most all my stuff (kitchen overflow). I'm gonna order another one to go on the other side of the room to expand my storage even further.

I wanted some shelf storage that was fairly wide, tall and normal depth. Also wanted plastic and not metal. Also wanted something reasonably strong as I am storing miscellaneous materials in the basement. Finally I wanted a competitive price. I did quite a bit of looking around on the internet and this looked like my best option. It turned out great and just what I wanted. Would recommend this line of products. It happens to be made in Canada.
I paid a few bucks more than I expected to pay but as you know you get what you pay for generally.

I ordered two of these and thought they would be similar to shelving we already have. The shelves are narrower than I expected (only 14" deep) - my fault for not paying attention when I ordered them - and since they are narrow, the units can be tippy. They come with brackets to affix the shelving to the wall. I haven't used the brackets but put a shim under each front side to make it harder to tip over forward. If you have small children, you will want to affix the shelves to the wall.

I thought they were a little expensive, since I found similar shelving at a local store that were cheaper (and they were a few inches deeper). However, the nice thing about how these are designed is you can put them together in a minute. They are not fancy but they are serving their purpose.

I ordered 3 of these. I originally ordered the "Plano Molding 925 Heavy Duty Shelving with Vents, 5-Shelf" but bought the Gracious Living ones to save a few dollars. What a mistake. The plastic in the Gracious Living shelves is very brittle and 1 of my 3 units had cracked horizontal supports on all the shelves ( I didn't return it because I needed something and decided I could live with storing very light items on this one shelf)

If you want a cheaply made storage shelf get this one if you want something that will last get the Plano.

This unit came together in quick time and is sturdy, really sturdy. I have no fear of putting heavy things on the shelves.
It's tall and not too deep. Fits beautifully in the space allotted and doesn't interfere with door closing in the laundy space.

Easy to assemble and sturdy.I got these to replace some metal shelving that was starting to warp and tilt. These are much sturdier and much easier to put together. No tools are necessary. Price is reasonable.

This is a nice looking shelf storage. Mine is darker than the picture, and that's what I prefer. I use it for medical supply station in a room for my disabled mom. It even look nice in her bed room. I like the spacing, a bit longer than 15 inches, between the shelves. For the weight capacity I have not tested it but, I am not sure it can hold 100 pound on each shelf as it says on the ad. I would be reluctant to place the weights as they don't appeared that strong. I gave five stars because the weight issue is not that important to me. Everything else is perfect.

After being frustrated with hard-to-assemble steel shelving that I bought at a local store (rhymes with "Dal-Mart"), I saw the reviews for this shelving and decided to have a go.

Well, I now have two of these units in my garage and two more ordered. I assembled each unit in less than five minutes, and I am known as the World's Least Mechanically-Inclined Man. The shelves are very sturdy and hold nearly full gallon cans of paint without sagging, as well as canned goods and other heavy items. They are also very stable if you put heavy items on the lowest shelf, which saves the trouble of bolting them to the wall.

My garage is now semi-organized (and moving towards fully-organized) thanks to these shelves. I do feel that the price is paid, nearly $75, is a bit high--I would price these shelves at $55-$60, but I haven't comparison shopped to see if $75 per unit is a reasonable value.
