1.0 out of 5 stars Metal you can bend with your fingertips, August 23, 2005

This review is from: Hirsh Commercial Duty 4 Shelf Unit - Hirsh Industries - 17187 (Office Product)

This was a disaster of a shelving unit. I got it, unpacked it and raised my eyebrow at the seemingly flimsy construction materials, but thought "Hey, maybe when it's together, it's stable." It isn't.

To give you an idea of how flimsy this "metal" unit is, my two year old picked up one of the "stability" bars, and was able to bend it in half. The materials are about as strong as tinfoil. Seriously, you get what you pay for with this unit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shelves of Frustration, December 5, 2006

The worst shelving unit I've ever had the displeasure to assemble. Connectors do not fit in shelves, each piece had to be modified, connectors are flimsy and bend much too easily. Beware, apparently this company has absolutely no quality control.

Who engineered this product? The materials are so thin, they bend like aluminum foil. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Assembly is practically impossible given the materials and design. I would not trusy anything of value on this shelving (assuming you ever get it put together)! Also, the price listed here is double the going rate at various retailers. Instead, I recommend a product offered at Home Depot that is rated for twice the weight and seems worth the money ($45). Good luck!
