72 in. H x 36 in. W x 18 in. D 5-Shelf Steel Commercial Shelving Unit in Black

This stand is exactly as described, the only improvement needed is a piece to couple top half to bottom half so as to make it easier for one person to mount stackable.. also it's a bit tricky, if not difficult to get the post to remain in place whilst trying to attach the side rails. It's not heavy duty, but serves the purpose I purchased it for.

Each upright support comes as two pieces, joined at the center shelf. The two pieces simply butt up against each other, and are hard to keep in place until all eight pieces are together and the shelf installed. Larger Edsal shelves use a joiner sleeve that makes a much more secure connection connection between each upright pair. To make things worse, I bought two shelves, and one had only six upright pieces instead of eight. But, Edsal is very efficient at sending out the missing pieces after "chatting" on their web site.

Assembly was more difficult than neccessary. The previous shelving unit I purchased had connecting brackets, which easily and quickly held the peices together. This unit did not have such brackets. Other than that, the shelves seem to be sturdy and still holding up one month and counting. For the most part, it's what I expected.

Today I received this product. This was the third set of Edsal shelves I've purchased from Home Depot. It will be the last. Unfortunately the design has apparently been changed, for the worse. The pieces that join the vertical legs together have been eliminated. Now, one is required to join the vertical legs by tediously installing a shelf in the center with the shelf pins creating the union of the vertical legs. This is by far an inferior design. It is not only structurally inferior, but it forces you to install a shelf at that height... regardless. Assembly now requires a second set of hands. The frustration comes from the fact that the company has produced a significantly inferior product in order to save a few pennies... at the most. Also, the plastic end caps have been eliminated. Again, the company probably saved ten cents. Lastly, the wood composite shelves have beed replaced with cardboard versions. Great job Edsal! it is indeed sad to see another formerly reputable company go all 'China' on us. Chinese quality mixed with good ol' American greed is the consumer's disaster. Edsal....You will not get any more of my business as you hopefully enjoy your trip to the bottom. PS: Shipping was brutal! You can see how the product arrived. I wish there was something good about the experience.

Pretty easy to assembly, just need a mallet to tap members into holes. Hardest part is where the two vertical supports come together at the middle shelf. Some sort of clip or lip that would give that connection a more positive feel at assembly would help. Also a clip option for clipping together side by side shelves would be great, I connected some side by side shelves with some nuts and bolts. Particle board shelf insert fits and works but could be weakest link in shelving with too much wait or if they get wet. Paint finish on metal parts seems very good.

I am very please with the appearance, ease of assembly and sturdiness of these shelving units. It gave my garage the look and organization that I was looking for. It provided more space for the junk I like to collect. :). I would definitely recommend this shelving to others.

Pretty easy to assemble wish the boards for the shelf were plywood not partial board. I am using as an aquarium rack

I own a ceamic shop, I purchased 6 shelves & I absolutely love them. Some of my other shelving has metal shelfs & its not a solid surface. These are so much better, I could use about 10 more!!

Great shelf. Really easy to put together. Thinking about buying another one. Bought it for my wife and she put it to good use.

The holes to slide the shelves down were to wide in many areas and did not hold tight and others to small with need to be pound down with a hammer and screwdriver. This in it's self made shelf adjustment very difficult. Understand now why is was much cheaper than other hardware stores. This made the top half hard to attach since the pieces sit on top of each other only. Would highly suggest over the two individual pieces and securing with a bold. The system seemed very rocky so I had to bold on (crisscross style from upper right to lower left and visa-a-versa) on the back side with a bold in the middle of them to stabilize the shelf. Did like the shelves were bare wood so that they could be painted to match the other garage renovation.
