5-Tier Steel Heavy Duty Freestanding Garage Storage Shelving Unit in Black (47.2 in. W x 72 in. H x 23.6 in. D)

Hi DMOTTAZ, thanks so much for reaching out about this one! Great question, and I'm happy to clear it up for you. Yes, absolutely — you can definitely use just 4 of the 6 shelves if that suits your space better! This unit is designed with adjustable, removable shelves (aside from the one center shelf that stays fixed to lock in the frame's structural stability). So you have the flexibility to remove one or two of the other shelves and simply space out the remaining ones however works best for what you're storing — whether that's taller bins, bulky items, or just giving yourself more breathing room between levels. Just keep in mind that the fixed center shelf should stay in place since it's key to the unit's overall strength and stability, but everything else is yours to customize. If you have any other questions, need exact post dimensions, or need assistance choosing the right model for your space, please feel free to reach us anytime via SMS at 805-248-3395, Phone at 978-254-2003, or Email at huluwat_ct@163.com. Wishing you all the best getting your space organized just the way you like it — hope this shelving unit brings a little more order and a lot more smiles to your day!

Dear Customer, thank you very much for your question—we truly appreciate your interest in our product. For this Huluwat boltless shelving unit, the bottom of the uprights is equipped with protective plastic feet, but it does not include self-leveling feet. These feet are designed to help protect the floor and provide basic stability. For the best performance, we recommend placing the shelving unit on a flat and level surface, such as a garage floor or concrete floor. Once the frame is fully assembled and the shelves are properly seated, the structure is designed to be stable and sturdy under normal use. If your floor has minor unevenness, some customers choose to make small adjustments by repositioning the unit or placing a thin shim under the foot for better balance. Making sure the frame is fully locked into place during assembly will also help maintain stability. If any customers have questions before purchasing or need assistance after receiving their order, please feel free to contact us at huluwat_ct@163.com. Our team will always be happy to help. Thank you again for your question, and we wish you a wonderful day and a great shopping experience with Home Depot!

Hi, Bill! Thank you for your question. Each vertical column measures approximately 1.5 inches wide. So when two columns are positioned side by side, the total width is about 3 inches. Please feel free to let us know if you need any additional measurements or details.

Dear NickS, thank you very much for your question—this is a great one and very helpful for planning storage. Regarding the 78 in. H Huluwat 5-tier shelving unit you referenced: the overall dimensions are 47.2 in. W × 78 in. H × 17.7 in. D. Because the shelf depth is 17.7 inches, it unfortunately cannot accommodate totes that are 20.5 inches wide, such as your 27-gallon totes. The vertical spacing between the beams is 2.13 inches adjustable, but the depth limitation means the totes will not fit properly on this model. The good news is that we do offer other Huluwat shelving models that may work well for your needs. Models 328396056, 333756196, 338582718, 338646331, 338582891, 338647703, 338582915, and 338647922 can fit one tote per shelf, while models 338582933 and 338647678 can fit two totes per shelf, depending on configuration. If you have any questions before or after purchase, please feel free to contact us at huluwat_ct@163.com . We’re always happy to help and provide worry-free after-sales support.

Hi Jeanne, and thank you for your question! Yes — what you’re describing can be done! This 5-Tier Huluwat shelving unit is designed to be adjustable and modular, and many customers do combine parts from multiple units for custom setups. If you purchase a third shelving unit, you could use the spare shelves from that unit to create two 7-tier sections by placing the extra shelves onto your existing units. Please note that adding more shelves will reduce the vertical spacing between each tier, but the overall stability and load capacity (when weight is evenly distributed) remain unchanged. If a single unit with more tiers is your priority, you might also consider one of our taller shelving models that come with more tiers or greater height built-in — depending on your space and load needs. You may want to search the following Home Depot item numbers for comparison:337927122, 333756296, 333502217, 338582891, 338647703, 338857936.All of these models offer greater height and more tiers that are long-term replenishment items, making them an excellent choice for customers who want maximum vertical storage without modification. If you have questions about specific part compatibility or need help choosing the right setup, we’re always here to help! Please feel free to contact us at huluwat_ct@163.com for worry-free after-sales support before or after purchase.

Dear Beardie Mommie, thank you for your great question and for your interest in our Huluwat shelving unit! We’re happy to share that each shelf can support up to 400 lbs when the weight is evenly distributed. This strong load capacity is made possible by our 0.7 mm thick steel beams and uprights, along with a double-layer post design, which significantly enhances overall strength and stability. It’s a reliable choice for storing tools, bins, and other heavy items in your garage, basement, or workspace. If you’re looking for an option with even higher load capacity, you’re also welcome to search 338582718, 338646606, or 338857936—these models feature thicker posts and beams to meet heavier-duty storage needs. If you have any questions before or after your purchase, please feel free to contact us at huluwat_ct@163.com. We’re always here to provide worry-free after-sales support and help you choose the right solution for your storage needs.

Hi HackerBuilders68, this is Huluwat — thank you so much for your great question! You’re absolutely right to check the shelf material. The uprights of this unit are made from high-quality 0.07 mm thick steel, and each post is designed with a double-layer structure for extra strength and stability — this is one of the key reasons our units support such high weight loads. As for the shelf surface itself (the area where you place your items): Each tier is made of a solid iron shelf board reinforced with three steel support ribs. This design gives you a smooth, sturdy, non-grate surface and easily handles up to 400 lbs per shelf. If you ever have any questions — before or after purchase — feel free to reach us at huluwat_ct@163.com. We’re always here to provide hassle-free support. Thanks again for your interest, and we’d be thrilled to have you try this Huluwat shelving unit!

Dear bruce! Thank you for your question! Our 5-Tier Heavy-Duty Huluwat shelving unit is fully compatible with the popular Home Depot 27-Gallon yellow-lid totes. Because of the tote’s footprint and the shelf’s interior width, each shelf can comfortably hold one 27G tote. With five shelves total, you can store up to five 27G totes while still keeping everything easy to access and neatly organized. Many customers appreciate that our shelves are adjustable in 1.4-inch increments, allowing you to set the perfect spacing for these larger totes. The frame is made from reinforced, heavy-gauge steel, providing excellent stability and long-term durability for garage and workshop use. If you have more storage questions or need personalized sizing help, or after-sales service, our team is always here for you — feel free to reach out anytime at huluwat_ct@163.com.
