Amazon Basics 4000IBS Heavy Duty Adjustable Storage Shelving Unit, 5 Shelf, High-Grade Aluminum, Silver, 60 x 24 x 78 Inch

Building this lightweight shelving unit isn't terrible. It's straightforward and goes up quick. The rated weight limit is 4,500lbs overall. I feel like this unit can easily handle that. It includes easy to install tip protection. I have two complaints. First, installing the cross members involves using tiny nuts and bolts. Installing these is a pain. But they aren't optional because they are crucial to stability. I feel like wingnuts would be far easier. The instructions are easy for someone like me who is mechanically inclined, but they are very small printing and lacking in precise details for someone who hasn't built shelves before. And finally, I feel these are very over priced for the materials included. The right price should be around $120. And I'd buy 4 more at that price.

I ordered two of these and while it added up to a lot of $$, I'm very happy with the choice. They were easy to assemble and they are very, very sturdy. The garage is finally organized.

These shelves are super sturdy, and just the right size to fit in my laundry room. We placed sheeting on top of the wires, so nothing falls through.

This order and rack are incredible! First, I received it in 2 days. The box wasn't beat up and all parts and pieces were included. The Amazon driver even delivered it at 7:00 AM and said a friendly good morning. This is one sturdy rack. It is NOT cheap materials. I was amazed. because after reading other reviews I was hesitant. The metal shelves were wrapped in shrink wrap and with padding. There were a few minor scuff marks on several of the metal bars, but I just put them in the back. This is better than the HDX rack that HD has and it's not flimsy or weak like some reviews stated. You can't go wrong with the rack and the price. Thanks Amazon Basics!

PRO: Once completed sturdy unit will hold 5K lbs on level floor. Relatively easy to assemble, better with 2 people.CON: Pkg 60"x 24", wt. 78 lbs, all arrived in poor-fair condition. Beams, braces, stabilizers jumbled. Some Ziploc pkgs of top/bottom post covers, screws & nuts, etc. torn open, screws & other contents spilled among jumble, one bottom post cover split. Of 5 units ordered +1 replacement, 7 beams lacked holes for stabilizer bar install. Amazon Cust. Service very helpful in getting 1 replacement pkg to complete 5 units ordered. NOTE: For Returns to Amazon: UPS requires customer to repackage the return in original container. UPS provides only return LABEL.

Amazon basics brand really has come a long way. I own various amazon basics items and this shelf is just top quality as the other stuff i bought. When i opened the box, i was pleasantly surprised. It looks to be made of aircraft aluminum. I have two other shelves from husky and the husky is no where close to being as nice. My only negative would be the installation instructions. However this wasnt a big deal for me since its nothing too complex that i couldnt just figure out myself.

First thing out the box it looks like someone’s cat got in the packaging room and shredded all of the packaging in this box.Next, I noticed that all of the parts were just poured out into the box and every piece was scratched. Meaning I just paid full price for a used item.The instructions don’t mention a single thing about which way is front or back, up or down. So I recommend just tossing them out and just set the kids down for puzzle night. Could be a great family puzzle.The pictures made this look like it would hold any storage bin. After trying to put this together and take it apart for the third time, I noticed it only fits two rows of large bins and two rows of small bins. The way this is designed, the tallest parts aren’t actually one long post, but 2 smaller posts connected by a shelf. So you absolutely have to lose space there to connect the halves together.Just all around horrible experience with this. I needed it for my garage and spent hours putting it together. Had I not wanted to toss my money and hours of my life to Amazon, I would have just returned this.Overall, great puzzle, but I didn’t pay $200 for a puzzle. I paid for a shelving unit.

This is a good, solid shelf unit, and very easy to put together - with one key note. People have commented on the more difficult part of the assembly that has some small nuts used to fasten what the product calls "stabilizers". These are short metal pieces that run perpendicular to the shelves. I simply omitted using these at all, as I find the shelves very stable and sturdy without them, including for pretty heavy loads. See for yourself: you can put the shelves on, then see if you think you need stabilizers for one or more of the shelves. My guess is for most loads, you won't need them at all. And if you want to add them, they're easy to add as a last or later step, and just for the shelf or shelves you think need them.
