Topeakmart 5-Tier Utility Shelves, Metal Storage Shelves Garage Shelving Unit Adjustable Garage Storage Shelves Storage Racks Heavy Duty Shed Shelving- Black, 35.5 x 12 x 71 Inch

I have a small 12x8 office room that I run a 3D printer and some computer stuff in. It was driving me crazy how unorganized everything looked. I got this because it was $30 cheaper than what I found at Walmart at the time and liked the color. Turned out pretty nice and fit everything I wanted to put on it.A rubber mallet made putting it together way easier, the hard part was the center cross rails but nothing a pair of pliers and a flat head can't solve. Flexing the tabs did cause the paint to flake but thats to be expected. Once complete, its was super sturdy. My bed slinger printer sends small vibrations through it but I'm not worried its going to fall apart or cause a print failure while its working.My only concern actually is the MDF panels used for the shelfs. Its a little thin, and the center rail doesnt come up to match the height of the main rails (its about 1/8 of an inch lower). Because of this, the shelf actually dips in the middle (only to rest on that center support so its not a major concern). A solution to this would be to add a spacer. A small 1/8in or 1/4in strip of wood of the same material on the center rail would fix it.Overall I'm pretty happy with it, and it should last a while assuming those panels hold up and don't get wet. It should be easy enough to cut some replacement panels too later on.

The shelf was pretty simple to assemble. The base was probably the most “difficult” but even that wasn’t hard. I found it easier to put each shelf’s support frame pieces on the 4 corner poles first and the slide in the center support piece (after bending in the tabs on the center support pieces) vs assembling each whole framed-out shelf and trying to get them placed that way. Overall it took me about 15-20 minutes to put together, though it would have gone faster if I’d had a rubber mallet.The shelf isn’t super tall: It is about eye level for my wife who is 5’6”. I also wouldn’t use it for anything really heavy. We are using it for plant starts and seedlings for our garden. It seems like it could support a variety of things though I wouldn’t trust it to hold very heavy items as the inexpensive metal frames could bend and the MDF board shelves are quite thin. I also wouldn’t put it in an outdoor area where it could get frequently damp from the weather.All in all, a good item for the price and what we will be utilizing it for.

The shelf arrives in a conveniently sized package, very efficient. The assembly is a little tricky, but can be done without tools in under an hour. Once assembled it's pretty sturdy & stable. I would have preferred if the shelf itself could be secured into the frame rather than simply sitting on top of it.It suits my purpose fine, which is using them to display collectible toys. The shelves can be built as a half height side-by-side. One additional shelf would have been ideal for this configuration.Tough to beat these for the price. I expect to pick up 2-3 more in the near future.

I needed something to replace a cheap wooden book shelf that got moldy in my basement. Metal is the way to go in a basement!I’ve put together a lot of shelves like this, my basement is full of them. This is the first time I’ve bought one that is this small and this lightweight. The metal is kind of flimsy but the construction is solid. The cross braces in the shelves really make a difference for strength.You need to go slowly, especially at first, because the braces will pop out as you set the other braces. You DEFINITELY need a rubber mallet to put this together, no way around it. Work slowly, pound lightly, and once you have the first two shelves set you can pound the braces in more.You’ll also need a flat head screwdriver to bend the tabs of the cross braces once they’re in place. The directions show this step but you might miss it.Also be sure to leave the bottom holes open to raise the bottom shelf a bit. If you’re putting this in a basement or garage you want that airflow.Bonus for the company for including some decent work gloves for putting this together! Never saw that before! They fit my big hands which is cool. And they are good for keeping your hands safe from the sharp metal.I’m very happy with this shelf, especially for the price. While it doesn’t have the airflow of a wire shelf it will be more sturdy, and is a little cheaper than a similarly sized wire shelf.
