      Don’t waste your time
      Wish I had read reviews 1st. Not worth $70. Great if clips work but they do not clamp together therefore they slide down poles and do not hold shelves up. After 2/5 shelves, I took it apart and will be returning tomorrow. Don’t be fooled star count.

        Absolute garbage
        The shelves are supposed to be held onto the posts with tapered plastic sleeves that clamp around the post, fit into grooves in the post, and get held closed by the weight of the shelf on the sleeve. These sleeves are made out of the most brittle plastic I've ever seen. They basically crumble into dust when you touch them. They don't even fit around the post without flexing them open enough to break them. I thought maybe I could wrap some tape around them and hold the pieces in place long enough to get the shelf on it, but even if I manage to do that, the plastic ridges in the sleeve that are supposed to engage the grooves in the post shear off. Without these sleeves, it's impossible to support the shelves. The really frustrating part is the shelves were packed in the box separated with disposable plastic spacers which seem perfectly durable.

          Highly recommend. Sturdy. When you are assembling it you have the option to adjust the shelf height. It is a shiny black but it looks classy. It does meet my expectations. I think this can support a lot of weight. I'm doing some organizing so my picture doesn't have anything heavy on the unit.

            This shelf is both sturdy and functional in my kitchen. I love it. It was a little difficult to assemble, but very well worth it financially.

            The features that sand out the most are they are very sturdy and we were able to get everything off the floor & up onto the racks. We have had them for 2-3 weeks & they totally met our expectations

            I bought two sets of this shelving. I needed to storage plastic bins, so that I could easily get to any particular bin without moving any of the others. This shelving worked perfectly for that. I have one set in the bedroom, where I store blankets and out of season clothing. The other set is in my workroom, where I store bins of fabric. I have added a photo of the blanket storage. The other set of shelves is wrapped in material to keep the fabric in the bins from fading. The bins fit perfectly, two to a shelf. I had a couple of smaller (not as deep) bins that I stacked on top of two of the bigger bins. This shelving allowed me to make the height adjustment between the shelves with no problem.

            The shelf was both quick and easy to assemble, though having a second person present to hold things up was extremely helpful. Assembled it is very sturdy and holds a surprising amount of weight. I really liked having the ability to choose how much height to give each shelf, though be sure to think about this before starting assembly. The shoulder joins seemed flimsy while building but are still holding solid a month later. The box did contain a bunch of end caps that weren't in the instructions and appeared to have no function. I just ignored them while building. Overall very happy with the purchase, especially given the almost shockingly low price.

            We love our new shelves. Very sturdy. The bottom of the legs have a grip. So they will not move on our floor.

            Avoid! Bought three and only ended up with enough good legs to build one. On the bad legs the threads to join them didn't hold and I could just pull them apart without much force. The one good unit seems sturdy so far but the failure rate is way too high.

                QC is a Thing of the Past
                Despite having past success with the HDX suite of products, purchased this to find that one of the eight poles has some defect in the teeth the connector screws into. It won't screw secured and doesn't sit fully vertical. Really hoped to be getting a second, but very disappointed.

                  I've bought these commercial grade shelves before and as usual they do not disappoint. Easy to assemble/disassemble. Cardboard boxes may weaken and fall apart, plastic bins when fully loaded and stacked high will buckle and break under its own weight, but with a 300 lb. per shelf capacity you can put small elephants stacked up to the ceiling and this baby can handle it.

                  Poor Quality
                  I do NOT see this thing holding 350 lbs a shelf. There were many spots inside the shelf tube where the plastic wouldnt fit properly making the shelves slide down the pole. I had to dremel the weld spots down to get the plastic to fit properly and still not all fit snug. I think they would be great if it werent for these issues

                    I am using this unit as a houseplant storage rack while they are indoors for the winter. I wanted to maximize the coverage of my very tall porch windows with this unit and it's perfect. I've had many of this type of shelving unit before and I love the ease of assembly, the fact that they are light weight, and durable. The adjustable legs are such a bonus...the floor was not quite level and even, but the shelves do not rock or wiggle.
