I ordered two of these. It's not exactly a small item to be shipped or moved around.Of the two, the first box I opened didn't have the top 4 poles. I called Alera and they said that I'd have to return it because they couldn't ship me 4 poles. If they were screws there would not have been a problem. I contacted Amazon and they immediately sent me a replacement with one day shipping. Great experience. I had it delivered by UPS and had them pick up the defective unit. It made my life easier.
On with the product, quick and easy to build once you figure out how you want to space out the shelves. Just screw in the poles, snap in the plastic wraps based on the height you want and you are set.
Sturdy and spacious allowing me to organize my garage much better.
Got these in two days with Amazon Prime and they have really transformed our kitchen. We no longer are searching for places to put things.
One word of caution, if you order the "2x Alera SW590004 Caster Kit For Wire Shelving, Gray, Four per Set," please get yourself a 3/4X48 wooden dowel. Installation is near impossible without one and bone-dead simple with one.

Two of these heavy duty large shelving units have done wonders organizing the garage. The shelves come with leveling feet and are easy to assemble, but it did take two people to slide the shelves on because they are large and have to be lowered gradually and evenly on both ends. I would like an additional shelf or two but didn't purchase because of the cost. I have several metal shelving units throughout the house, but this Alera unit is definitely the most heavy duty. These are high quality: the steel is heavy gauge and the finish is smooth. The two foot deep shelves are good for storing a large ice chest, for patio furniture cushions, 40-lb sacks of bird seed and large bags of potting soil. These bags can sit across the 24" inch depth, so they don't have to be sideways which would take up too much space on the shelves.Update: When I contacted Alera and explained my situation they immediately sent out replacement parts no questions ask. For this reason I have moved my rating from one to four stars. I would prefer 3 1/2. Anyway they were so courteous and professional that I have let go of me previous frustrations. This is a good product I just was not willing to settle for defective pieces and now that I have everything the way it should be I am happy.These shelves are very nice when constructed properly. I purchased 4 however I received one that was bent and cracked on one of the critical welds. I sent it back and received another bent in the same general way. I sent that one back and again received another one bent, in several places this time. I have spent an enormous amount of time sending, and receiving these shelves. I am not pleased. They were obviously that way from the factory because the box was fine. I am going to contact Alera directly and request that they send me an undamaged shelf so I can put it together and be done with this. I will post their response.
Goodluck,
MatthewGot this industrial shelf for starting plants on. The shelves provide a great way to hang the lights above the plants. These shelves are very sturdy and will last forever.
