Alera SW504818BL Industrial Wire Shelving Starter Kit, 4 Shelves, 48w x 18d x 72h, Black

The picture does not do it justice. This is an elegant, well built, set of shelves. We bought them to hang plant lights on, so we can start our garden indoors, before the frost is gone. I was worried that they would look kind of tacky in the living room, but they are so beautiful and fit the living room so well. Looks like it could be a baker's rack or a nice plant shelf. Easy to put together and very sturdy. BTW, it came with extra parts, in case you'd rather have 2, 2-shelving units instead of one 4 shelving unit.

I originally purchased a Whitmor 14x36x72 shelf. I was happy with it, but needed a 48 in shelf to complete the rest of the space. While I was happy with the Whitmor shelf, it didn't come in the 48 inch dimensions I needed. I purchased this Alera because it had equally good reviews across multiple sites. When I went to build this, I realized that it only came with 4 shelves (as opposed to the five the Whitmor came with). I found this to be frustrating. You either have to keep the lower shelf pretty low, and give up useful space below it, or you raise it to make that space more useful and give up on some stability. I found it a little cheap of Alera to only provide 4 shelves, especially because the cost of purchasing additional shelves is a little outrageous.

Really sturdy. Instructions leave a little to be desired (they werent the clearest.) But it is very stable and holds a lot of weight.

This item arrived several days early, in perfect condition. Assembled very easily, especially considering it's size. I did it by myself and it required no tools. Very sturdy, it is holding heavy glass terrariums and full aquariums with ease and comes with stabilizing castors and wall anchors if you need them. I bought the black one and the finish is very durable, I was dragging and pushing my tanks into place with not a scratch.

Very happy with the purchase especially at the amazing price (apparently half off?) so much so I just ordered a slightly smaller version of the same thing.

Win.
