Defective - wrong sized shelves
The metal parts of these shelves are sturdy and fit together fine, but the package came with 3 shelves that were the wrong size so they could not be used. Had to cut my own shelves from plywood to make it work. Lousy quality control.

    exactly as described
    They hold a decent amount of weight and they’re super easy to assemble. They are the perfect dementions to stack 40 gallon breeder tanks. I bought one shelving unit to hold those 4 tanks but i have extra parts, so if i buy a 2nd unit. I could assemble 5 of these racks holding 10 40 gallon tanks. Very cool.

        Hard to install
        Hard to put together even with help, no matter how hard you hammer the shelf together it pretty much falls apart every time. Took us 2 hours to assemble it properly. Works great for small spaces.

          The shelving was sturdy ,the product offered quality as well as fairly priced. However the directions were a little tough to understand as they weren't very specific or clear in regards to the positioning of the shelving after a couple of attempts of trying to configure the side arms once it was figured the assembly was relatively easy. One note to the side brackets that hold the shelving if they did not properly set themselves up you definitely needed to use the hammer or mallet to set them in place. I was able to store a lot of items on the shelving unit which definitely serve the purpose it took me a couple hours to put the shelving together but like I said before once you figure out the configuration it was very easy to assemble

          I bought the 60 x 72 x 24 model Nov 2020 and it is terrific. Required a rubber mallet and a block of 2x4 to help really secure the shelves to the frame. Once together (I did it by myself), it looks great and is sturdy enough. Took about 1 hour to assemble and I found a 2' step stool was needed to do the top shelf (I am 6' tall). It was shipped to me VERY quickly after placing the online order despite the apparent shortage of the product. Guess I got lucky to find one. Easily supports everything I've stored on it (which isn't a lot - yet...) and my shed is very nicely organized now. I did find it helpful to put wood shelving on some of the wire decking for stuff that would have wobbled about. It probably would have been fine without the wooden shelves, but I already had them lying around so why not use them. Good stuff!

          Easy to assemble if you have all the parts
          I got the 30x60x12 and it fits perfectly in my new tool shed. I chose a version with the particle board shelves (I'm leery about the wire shelves). No issues in assembly except that it was without 4 of the corner posts. Home Depot was no help at all, but after contacting Sandusky, they shipped the replacement posts to me quickly. Hey, where are you going to find a decent shelf for less $?

            Great Product, easy to install, my box was missing the couplers, called Edsal Customer Service, they were very quick to mail the couplers to me and was able to get the install completed. The product has improved from the last time when I had bought a similar Edsal product a few years back

              Per review guidelines I am giving 4.5 stars on quality and 5 on values. While the posts and beams can be built with more heavy gauged metal, it is more than adequate for home use. I assembled it myself and I do think a 2nd person will help speeding up. "No-tool assembly" is not accurate, I have to hammer the pins down with a piece of wood and a rubber mallet. The mesh shelves are attractive and hold 3 plastic bins per shelf (my previous 18x48x69 stainless steel wire shelving unit can only do 2). This one is lot cheaper than the stainless steel wire one I replaced and moved to laundry room. Against the review guidelines I have to complaint about shipping/packing. If I am allowed to review that, it is 1-2 stars. I didn't have a choice but to ship to my home as it is unavailable in store. Don't trust the packing material and handling from UPS. I think I may have received an open-boxed unit as the braces and couplers were loose inside the big box which was wrapped with excessive amount of packing tapes. Home Depot Customer Service is very good and the rep engaged MuscleRack to ship me the missing couplers. At the end, I am very happy with the resolution and gotten myself a nice new shelving.

                Easy To Assemble, Shelves Not Strong Enough
                Despite the ease of assembly the unit has a major design flaw - The manner in which the pressed wood composite shelves sit on the rails. If you place any object that weighs over 15 pounds on the wooden shelf, the shelf starts to bow and sink below the rails. I had to drill out the rails and bolt L brackets to the rails to support the wooden shelves. Maybe this product should come with a warning to customers describing the weight limitations of the shelves.

                Ordered 2. Got them shipped to store for pickup. One of the boxes was damaged. Opened the box at home and most of the pieces were missing so I returned both and will find something different.

                Very Easy to put together with only a rubber mallet. Very sturdy. Easily adjustable. This is my second Muscle Rack and I plan on getting at least 4 more, 2 for the garage - sturdy enough for heavy things, and 2 more for the basement, convenient enough, easily moved and strong enough for canning and pantry items.

                Great product. Very safe compared to other steel storage racks. The post couplers has ledges for the posts near the middle beams. Safe stability was a concern for the designers. Abide by the instructions, you will not be disappointed with the product.

                After looking forever for a solution to our Lego problem, I came across these shelves. They have been perfect! They are reasonably priced, have a slightly industrial look, and most importantly, have adjustable shelves. Some of the Lego sets we have are quite tall and don't fit on traditional shelving units. I am so happy to have found these. I know they are supposed to be used in a garage type space, but they look awesome in our basement. They are easy and quick to put together and work perfectly for our needs. I would absolutely recommend these shelves!

                  Total Junk!
                  I ordered these based on the reviews, but they are horrible. Two of the "wood" shelves broke before it was even finished being built! The lip that the shelves rest on is not nearly wide enough to actually support the shelves. I got one unit built, carefully balanced my shelves with boxes of freeze-dried food (so they are not very heavy at all) and do not trust these shelves one bit. I slid one box to the right on the shelf, and the whole back of the shelf slid off the lip and collapsed. There is no way these shelves can hold even half the recommended weight. The "steel" bends way too easily to allow the shelf to slip off the lip.
