Customer Reviews for HDX 4-Tier Steel Wire Shelving Unit in Black (36 in. W x 54 in. H x 14 in. D)

1st easy to assemble

Plastic Taper sleeves to hold in place, that is crazy! The shelf slips right past them pushing them down doesn’t hold at all. What were they thinking? Will try to return it

I purchased a number of these to organize my garage and recently purchased one to help organize my dad’s tools. They are easy to assemble and adjust. I recommend having a rubber mallet handy should you need to make any adjustments with the shelves. This product is versatile, sturdy, and worth they money to help you organize any space in your home.

The instructions were simple and did not work for the shelf. The plastic clips kept sliding down on the poles on the bottom shelf even when held with channel locks while pounding the shelf down with a mallet like it said. Couldn't get the clips to hold even long enough to turn the shelf upright without it falling apart and cutting my arm. I made about six attempts to get the bottom shelf on before I gave up bleeding all over the shelf. Junk Alert!

God I hate these racks. On the first one, the plastic shims pop out of the groove before the shelf gets tight. So the shelf doesn't really lock in place. I know this design has been around for years, but the original used metal shims, not plastic. These are crap. The second rack I tried has one of the poles manufacturing backwards, so the grooves do not line up with the other posts. Its all going back.

Very sturdy and using it for my 10 gallon aquarium top with a 20 long aquarium in the middle. Holds it with no problem or sign of strain.

I shopped all over on-line but was very wary of buying a metal shelf because most reviews tended to focus on the units not being sturdy. I was able to see this one in the store and satisfied that it will hold up. It keeps all the scraps of lumber in my shop (boards, not firewood, mind you!) and I can pull it out for more shop room and then store it back when done. It keeps everything off the floor to make clean-up easy. I have seen sturdier ones at work for many times the price and was very happy with the performance and cost of this one.

Great shelf to put your small appliances. I'm just sorry that didn't buy this sooner.

The shelves are rated @ 350# each. The 29 gallon shown on top is about 345# and it has held well for over a year now. The bottom shelf is holding a 225#, 20 gallon with no issue.

I had used for plantings, I tried plastic shelving before but it wasn't adjustable. Its great that these are adjustable. Its not as easy as I'd like to move a shelf , it takes a few minutes, but its a option. the shelves are strong and offer good space. The assembly was easy.

Looked around for something g to put my plants on on my backyard patio where they would be up high so they could be in the sunlight. For the price this was the best option :) going back for a second one to replace a wood shelf I’m currently using

This thing was extremely heavy obviously but still easy to lift and put together for a small person like me. I currently use it for starting my seedlings and the shelves are easy to hang my grow lights from. I like that you can adjust the height from the screws on the bottom and that the shelves all came in straight, no bent metal or anything. I would recommend picking it up if you want it in good condition.

Nice looking, compact rack. Easy to assemble and adjust.

Easy to build, looks good

If you own a sanding belt or have access to one and know how to use it, this modification works great to create stackable units. I purchase two and doubled them. I wouldn't do any more than that unless you secure to the wall. Mod took about 30 minutes.

Shelf has eight support poles that need to be connected with 4 male and 4 female threads; my product arrived with 5 female and 3 male threads, making assembly impossible.

The HDX wire shelves (I ordered a 5-tier, 72" high model) are easily assembled, readily configured (in terms of shelf location), and sturdy.

A very sturdy DIY indoor shelving solution for wife’s plants. An excellent value, paired with three 36” Boost lighting grow lights—similar dedicated grow light shelving systems can cost $800-$900+.

I purchase this rack which was very easy to set up. I love the sturdiness and stainless steel finish which looks exactly like the image. I will definitely be purchasing another.

I purchased several of these units. I'm using them to organize my garage and basement. They are sturdy and practical because they're on wheels. So now all my heavy items and bins of small items can be easily moved out of the way for cleaning and maintaining my home. A real game changer!

The "powder coat" that makes it black fills in the indentions that the plastic holders need to grab on to when you slide the shelves down, making it impossible for them to securely stay in place.

Easy to assemble and sturdy. Good price too.

Looks good strong easy too put togeather

Worked exactly as neeed for rented storage unit, Can slide out a unit to accesses shelf contents, then slide back into the unit.

Used in a small kitchen. I have so much storage space. I love how much each shelf can hold. My kitchen really packs a punch.

It was easy to put together and it is exactly what I was searching for.

I use this type of shelving quite a bit. I currently have 11 shelving units like this or similar. Besides using these units as basic shelving, I configured two of these units into a desk for my computer, that I use a lot, as you might be able to tell by the mess that is evident in the pictures.

I really like the look of this shelving unit, the black wire is a very nice accent to our room. The parts were packaged very nicely and tight, and altogether it was pretty lightweight. I'm an average sized man with an average build and carrying this around the house didn't bother me. The system is pretty simple in terms of components, the screw feet are already installed, the poles screw together, and the shelves slide over some two-part black wedges to lock into place. I did run into some issues with the wedges, which I hadn't run into with similar systems. The wedges fit into grooves on the poles and are supposed to stay in place while the shelves slide over them, and then you tap the shelves down to lock it all into place. Either the grooves were not deep enough on the poles or the protrusions on the wedges were too shallow, because on several occasions I would get the shelf slid down onto the wedges, and once I tapped them into place the whole shelf would slide down with the wedges. Eventually I clamped onto the wedges lightly with a pair of pliers to give them a little more grabbing ability and I was able to fully tap the shelves down. For the price it was worth it, but there is definitely room for improvement with the locking wedges.

I purchased this shelving unit for a closet to store items. I am very please with the shelving unit. It is strong and durable. I holds the weight. I anchored it to the wall so it is solid and doesn't move. This fits in the closet perfectly.

Easy to assemble by one person if need be.
