Five Tier NSF Extra Large Commercial Grade Shelving Rack in Chrome

These shelves are pretty much what you'd expect just like the normal 6-shelf 48"x18" ones, only more so. As such, they deliver the goods but it's worth making a few observations.

* These shelves are good value for money in terms of footage of shelves per $, and I have two of them. One is this Trinity one, and the other is the "Seville Classics Shelving System with Wheels, Chrome". They're both functionally identical, and for all I know made in the same Chinese factory.

* The rated carrying capacity of these shelves is the same as that usually cited for the smaller shelves, namely 600lbs. Given that these shelves give you 50 square feet of shelving (cf 36sqft on the normal 48x18" units), that works out to only 12lb/sqft before you're fully loaded. If you think about it, that's really not very much. Thus, these shelves are fine if you're putting relatively light stuff on them, but if you're planning to load them up packed-tight, then you'll have to expect the shelves to sag significantly (at the very least).

I wanted to store a lot of tools, car parts, paint and such-like. The pounds really add up quickly under such circumstances. Before I had even finished loading things up, I discovered the weakest link in these shelves, namely the castors, which experience significant off-axis loading (due to the castor of the castors!). In my case, the studs that screw the castors into the columns bent badly. Mercifully, I managed to off-load the shelves before they fell over completely. The castors were toast, but I was able to get them out of the columns (sighs of relief), and I didn't need them, so no big loss. Now, I'm being considerably more careful about how I load up the shelves.

It's probably also worth noting that these shelves (just like all Metro-style shelves) have nothing to help you to make them seismically secure. If you live (say) in California, then you'd do well to strap any shelves to the wall (unless you're genuinely planning to trundle them around, which gives you a different set of risks). I used water-heater earthquake strapping. It would have been nice to have something to hook this to on the shelves, but then these are just generic Metro-style shelves, so you really can't expect anything other than Metro shelving.

Bottom line: These shelves would have been soooo much better if they had been built more strongly. These shelves are no stronger than the normal, smaller metro shelves, but the larger area of the shelves makes strength that much more important. If you want bigger shelves than the more common variety extra depth or width, then these are a great deal, especially if you manage to catch them with a good shipping deal. However, if you're mostly interested in the weight carrying capacity, then your $s would be much better spent on the smaller and cheaper 48"x18" units.

These Shelves are awesome. I have four of them in the garage and two in the attic storage. Rather than build shelving I bought these so that I could move them out of the way if I needed to get more space in any particular garage bay. They are really strong. I have one that is loaded with 6'x18"x3/4" MDF top to bottom and some power tools on the top shelf and it rolls around sturdy. No flex. Takes the weight fine, and the casters are more than up to it.

Assembly is pretty easy. No tools needed. The one wrench that's desireable is provided and works on both the caster option or the fixed level adjusting feet.

This unit is incredible. I've had it for a few months and wanted to wait and see how it held up before I weighed in.

The box it arrived in was a beast, super heavy. After it was beaten up during shipping & then dragging it to the garage, I worried that the condition of the box might mean that parts were missing or broken. Not so. Perfect assembly experience. Right away I could tell this was not a cheap, flimsy build.

The shelves hold all my camping gear, bike racks, spare tires, and other misc garage junk. The shelves hardly bend under all the weight and the bomber wheels lock when you want them to and roll impressively despite the weight they're asked to sustain.

There are certainly cheaper options out there, but don't be fooled. This unit will hold everything you ask & it will LAST!
