Rough finish quality, they use an extremely soft wood that you can score even with your fingernail. I think after a year of use in the kids' closets, these would look like trash. Imperfections in wood filled with putty that doesn't stain and blend with the wood. Even cross slats are often not parallel with each other! Side panels are often warped making drawer operation (if you plan on using drawers) very difficult.

Hardware quality varies from mediocre to abysmal: screw heads missing screwdriver slots, brackets that are rusty coming out of the plastic bag.

Packaging is also very substandard, CHECK PACKAGE FOR DAMAGE BEFORE ACCEPTING FROM UPS!!! Small divots in the outer box translates to broken or cracked wood inside.

I've installed these shelves in my son's closet together with the deluxe stand alone tower.Since my son's closet is a reach-in closet and it doesn't have much space,I choose only these two articles from the entire closet system.The shelves are sturdy,nice looking and ventilated.The only reason that I didn't gave it a 5 star is the wood sensitivity while you're making the cuts to adjust it in your closet.It kinds of flakes.You have to cut it really slowly to avoid the chips.But at the end with a little wood filler (there are wood filler and wood pen kits just for this kinds of repairs,in laminate or wood flooring sections)you can't notice anything.
In overall I'm very satisfied with the product and I think that I would install another one,this time in my daughter's room.

These are very nice and quality shelves, which we got at a good price also. Looking forward to adding to these later. Some of the nicest shelfs there are out there for the do it yourself person. Very happy

Not much to say here, these work well and are solidly constructed. They include all necessary hardware. My only complaint is the price.

So they use the Razor and Blades business model here. You buy the big John Louis closet system with many parts for a pretty good deal. Then you realize you need two more shelves and they charge you $54 for two! That's crazy. Looking back, I should have bought a circular saw to just cut some of the spare shelving from my closet system to make my own shelves. They work fine but the price is really too high.

My husband and I installed this product ourselves. (He did most of the work!) Yes, you need to make some modifications, but we really had no major problems, no broken parts etc. The result is beautiful! We just love it and would recommend this product to others.John Louis Home JLH-526 Deluxe 16-Inch Deep Closet Shelving System, Red Mahogany

I received the shelves kit from Hold N Storage in a timely manner. The shelves kit is a much needed addition to our closet storage system. The shelves are well made with a nice finish.
