Gorilla Rack GRZ6-3618-5BIMP 5-Shelf 36-by-18-by-72-Inch Shelving Unit, Black

I use these racks to warehouse inventory. Small media items like books, dvds, cds, vhs, fit on these very easily with plenty of space for stacking. The shelving is very sturdy, which when you're dealing with heavy items like tools or hundreds of books, is essential. At 18" deep you have the ability to fit storage bins, crates and boxes with ease. In my case, since media items are fairly small, I am able to use these racks from both sides as they are set up about 4 feet from the wall.

These are the heavy duty racks you want in your warehouse, garage or basement. Weighing over 70 lbs each you may need help getting them to your set-up area but once you open the box just about any able bodied adult can put one of these together in short order without aid. You will find it convenient to have a rubber mallet!

Lastly, these racks are as easy to take down as they are to put up. Moving them is a breeze. Adding shelves leaves you with extremely narrow results as the center shelf is fixed as it acts to hold the top and bottom together in one rack. Overall these are tough, heavy duty, easy to put up & break down and suitable for a variety of uses.

I had a different problem from the other reviewers; I wanted a sturdy equipment rack for electronic gear, books, and stuff. The rack is located in my home office and not exposed to extremes of temperature and humidity. I've had it now for several months and it has been a joy and the complete answer to my rack and storage problems.

I have a work center desk arrangement and the rack is next to it; my electronic equipment is within easy reach which makes using the equipment very convenient. I have a lot of books stored on the shelves as well as DVD's and CD's. This has worked out much better than I had even hoped it would.

The ease of assembly was commendable; it went together with no problems and the only tool I needed was a rubber mallet. The thing that astounds me is how strong it is; I was a little concerned with how it might turn out since it went together so easily. There was absolutely nothing to fear, that rascal is the embodiment of strength and stability.

The particle board shelves are strong and dense (and heavy); I'm looking at them as I write this and can say I've had absolutely no problem with them. I suppose if exposed to high humidity a problem might develop, but I would think sealing them might help.

As I write this review I can look to my left and see the shelf I ordered; it looks, to a guy, very strong and handsome and has done a perfect job of holding everything I've put on it. I can reach over and try to shake it but it's solid as a rock, it doesn't sway or move at all.

I am a very pleased customer!

This is the third Gorilla rack system I have purchased. The first two were very solid pieces of gear. This one is solid but not nearly like the others. That the shelf boards are covered is nice. My main problem is that it arrived missing many parts. I contacted the company, waited a couple days and did not get a call back. Called again and got a human who was very nice. Told her the issue of the missing parts and gave my information. It's been a couple weeks and I haven't seen the parts to complete the purchase. The day after I talked with the nice lady, I did get a phone message from the company relating to my first call. In short, it's a fairly solid item. If there is any disappointment, it is because I have some previous one's, bought at Sam's Club, that are much more sturdy for the same price, and that the system did not arrive complete. I do not know if that was a problem with the folks at Gorilla Rack or with the company who delivered or warehoused the item. I still don't have a complete purchase.

Please see my response to LTSpike for why I upgraded the rating of the item.

I am squarely in the category of "not handy", so I always tremble when assembly is required, but these truly were easy to put together. I have purchased other shelving in the past from different manufacturers and lost an entire afternoon trying to build them. These went together in 20 minutes or so with only a mallet required to be sure the shelves were level and solidly in place.

I took one star away only because the instructions were a little light (relying on graphics rather than words) and it did cause me to redo one step when I mis-guessed on the parts and their order. In no way should that be a reason to avoid buying these. They are rock solid and hold a tremendous amount of stuff in our basement. Recommended purchase.
