5.0 out of 5 stars
Well pleased!, May 9, 2011
This review is from: Woodhaven One Half Cord Plus Rack And Cover
I researched wood racks and this one seemed the best quality. The Willygoat people called me on the day they shipped it--they shipped much faster than I had thought they would. I had it within 5 days, actually.
The box was long and heavy. I moved it around to my patio in back--where I stack my wood-- with a two-wheel hand truck because it was way too heavy to carry.
There were only 6 pieces plus the bolts/hardware to put it together. It was very well packed, and they put the bolts in strong plastic packages that would not ever break open, and then sealed the bolts package inside a nice heavy little cardboard box that was handy to put the loose bolts in while I worked. The hex bolts had those nylon locking nuts with them, and the hardest part of the assembly was getting these screwed together. I finally settled on a locking pliers to hold the nuts plus a ratchet wrench to turn the bolts. (they put in a couple extra nuts too) Tighten the bolts/nuts, but do NOT over-tighten.
There is a center support where the bottom rails join together that is not difficult to bolt on, which joins the two ends of the rack, and makes the entire rack strong enough to bear whatever you would put on it.
The finished product seems very sturdy, and I'm very pleased with it. Be sure you assemble this where you will be using it, it's way too heavy to be moving it very far unless you have two people to move it.
Of course the cover also comes with this product, which will be a nice way to keep the wood dry.
Very satisfactory experience from start to finish!
