BRIEFNESS5 Tier Garage Shelves Shelving Shelf Unit Racking Boltless Heavy Duty Storage, 150cm High, 70cm Wide, 30cm Deep, Silver, 875 Kgs Capacity, 5 Year Warranty

The frame is impressively robust once the shelf supports have been fitted; it is important to ensure that the tabs on the shelf supports are located right through the lugs in the frame - it is easy for them to protrude through the outside of the frame instead of staying entirely inside the lugs, which weakens the structure if they are not refitted correctly. The shelves themselves are thin fibre-board and although quite strong they might warp under heavy loads. The cross-brace that fits under the centre of each shelf is a bit crude, considering the quality of the rest of the frame.It is important to plan the shelf spacing before assembly, making sure to leave room for the clips that will later join the upper and lower frame sections. I did my shelves at 31cm intervals from the bottom up, leaving a 17cm gap above the top shelf - needed because otherwise the top shelf would be almost touching the ceiling in my 150cm high alcove.I was also impressed that there are pre-drilled holes at the ends of the side-frame sections, allowing the unit to be screwed to a wall. I was not impressed by the skimpy assembly instructions.I planned to order 3 of these shelving units originally but was put off by some of the poor reviews that claimed they were not very strong, but I did eventually order just one. Now I will happily order more.ADDENDUM:Having now ordered and assembled 3 of these units I discovered why there are differing views on the rigidity of the final assembly - there are two different manufacturers of these shelves and their products are not identical although they are sold under the same item description. One type is as I described above, with a shelf slot spacing of 39mm and overall height of , but the other type has a spacing of 30mm and is 2cm taller overall; also it has a slight wave effect on the shelf edges (quite attractive, but the other manufacturer's are plain). I was sent two of the first type and one of the second, which meant that I could not have a matching triple set - and anyway the third one was too tall to fit into the alcove which I'd bought them for. When I asked for a replacement to match the other two the supplier stated that they are sent out at random, so they could not guarantee that I would receive what I wanted. They gave me a (very) small refund for me to hacksaw 2cm off each of 4 legs of the 3rd set, which I've had to do.Another major difference - the first type (39mm shelf slot spacing) was more difficult to assemble but when done properly resulted in a good strong rigid structure. The second (30mm spacing) was far easier to assemble, hardly needing my rubber mallet, and had more rounded edges on the components but the end result was a shelf unit that was much less rigid and needed great care when being moved into position as it came apart if not lifted only using the lower angle legs. I made it all work by placing the odd unit between the other two to support it and by bolting them together; I also had to vary the shelf heights on the central unit as they wouldn't match the outer two exactly.

Bought two of these to put in my garden shed. My wife and I put them up in a couple of hours including fitting all the stuff on the shelves in the shed. Absolutely no sharp edges which is excellent and quite robust.Seemed a bit wobbly at first but as soon as you start loading it up it seems much more stable. You need a soft rubber mallet to make sure the parts are knocked together tightly. Very pleased and would buy again.

Really pleased

The product was use for storage

Very sturdy

Very happy just what was needed

This shelf has been holding up fine and for the money it is exactly what I expected. It seems a little filimsy but I wasn't able to anchor it in my situation no fault of the product

Easy to fit, sturdy enough, very happy
