1: the "top" and "bottom" edges are different lengths from the slots
2. Even when you make sure all of the "tops" are together, there are still variations.
Just make sure you level where you are going to drill the holes, not the top of each track. I had to tear it all down, patch and start over because I didn't pay attention...

Good shelf standard at a great length and price
I liked the length of this shelf standard. If you think about it, you don't need to go all the way to the ceiling or all the way to the floor. This standard was just the right length. I installed it 16" off the floor and it was just right
. Saves a few dollars this way. The standard was sturdy and installed easily. I used a laser level to line things up as I did the install and it really sped things up and increased accuracy.

This is a high quality product. I had to cut for length - that is when I realized how sturdy it was! Used it to support shoe rack.

These things are great! Worked well with the hang track, shelf brackets, and shelves that we ordered. We did struggle to find screws that fit in the holes, but that probably had more to do with our inexperience with home projects and the challenges of ordering everything sight-unseen through websites while quarantining during a pandemic. :) We finally got it to work using screws, wall anchors, and washers. These shelves aren't going anywhere.

Go to the store and make sure they match!
So we ordered these online, and were about to install them, when we realized that the holes for the brackets didn't line up the entire length of the track! That would be a HUGE PROBLEM if you want level shelving. So we returned those, but had already purchased Rubbermaid brand everything else did we went back to the store. It took up about 10 minutes of comparing tracks to find 2 of them that were the exact same length and all the bracket holes lined up. Once we found 2 that matched, they're great. Super study, easy to install (don't forget the hardware pack!), And I like them. So just make sure to inspect what you buy IN THE STORE, because you need to make sure your tracks match

Strong and adjustable perfect for making space in closets, utility room,any rooms making whatever you need to accommodate different size objects while being able to hold a lot of weight. Was using plastic shelving wasted way too much space after installing adjustable shelves put everything back and only used half of the shelving space.

Sturdy shelf for laundry
Installed 2- 20" deep by 28" wide (cut to width) shelves above a mini-fridge in our laundry room without much trouble. If installed correctly will hold detergent and a laundry basket without a problem. Must pay attention however, especially without instructions. The shelf brackets do not protrude above the shelves as others have observed in some comments. If you space/cut the upper horizontal hanging bracket correctly it will hit wall studs and proved an exceptional anchor.

I have installed quite a bit of different shelves. So far these are the fastest and easiest to put up. Not the best looking. One trick to get these and any other shelf as horizantally lined up as possible is to mark out a line with a level around the heigth of the top screw.Predrill on that horizantal line at the studs with proper spacing. Make sure predrilled hole is as sqaure and plumb to wall as possible.Add screw to top of shelf bracket and than level bracket vertically before adding another screw. Now each shelf is vertically and horizantally as good as it is going to get.

I recently moved to a new home and, as a woodworking hobbyist, I wanted to convert a one car garage to a woodworking shop. In order to store long boards horizontally, I put 6 foot 2 X 4's on a garage wall and screwed the Rubbermaid twin track to the standards. I bought a dozen 9" brackets and arranged them for optimal use of the space. Wood is heavy and I have a lot of it hanging from the wall with problems at all.

This is a shelf upright. It does what it says and performs as expected.
Along with some brackets and a board, it makes shelves.
Having the twin slots in it does make the brackets more sturdy.

Easy Assembly
I ordered 5 of these rails and 15 of the 11.5 inch shelf brackets and picked them up in store when we picked out some 1x12 common boards for our shelves. It took my husband and I an hour and a half to fully install them with the help of an electric drill with screwdriver attachment, level and stud finder. Half of that time was measuring and drilling and the other half was removing the stickers from each piece. we bought 2 inch white wood screws because hardware is not included and we drilled right into studs. I like that they let you chose the hardware you need for your own situation, and the Home Depot staff were helpful to make sure we bought the right hardware. We recommend this product to anyone looking for affordable shelving solutions. We like that we can change the layout of the shelves if the situation arises, and we hope to add a cable tray/shelf in the future.

Easiest way to organize
This track system makes installation extremely easy and fast. We used self-anchoring screws into drywall for the tracks and set 48" long x 8" wide shelves on the metal arms. The whole system can be purchased in the same aisle location. The entire project was complete in only 15 minutes and I now have my own 'store' in my utility closet...no more 'emergency' trips to the grocery are needed.

I used them for a quick shelve to stack lumber in my shop. Only took a few minutes to attach and setup. Very sturdy and lumber is out of the way.

Best Product for adjustable shevles
I have used this product for two projects. I install 128 ft of shelves in my garage. Selected this bracket for the for the durability. Also, just used it to redo a pantry in the house. They are easy to install and offer flexibility in adjusting the shelve height.

Simple and Functional
I have several of these mounted around my garage for shelving. They are very easy to install. Though I am typically a perfectionist, you don't have to be too precise when mounting these. If you are using the wire shelving, which is slightly flexible, a 1/4 inch difference here or these will not make a difference. How many you will need will depend on the shelving material and the load you want to put on the shelf. They don't tell you so I will - you will need a #10 screw. If you are mounting them directly onto a stud (no drywall) or only loading the shelves with something light like linen, you can use a 2" screw. If you are mounting onto the stud through drywall and or putting something heavier on the shelf, I would recommend a 3" screw. Also, these uprights are compatible with components of other brands' shelving systems - very convenient.
