Ideal for domestic use or light commercial
Bought these shelves to help organize my garage, I particularly liked these as they were wider than any of the others for sale on eBay. I found the shelves easy to assemble and I liked the fact that they can be configured to give you a work bench type of arrangement which was perfect for my garage. These are the sturdiest of shelves as the metal bends easily however they are great for what I wanted them for.Read full review

U get what you pay for !
When I seen 200kg per shelf I thought great and when I seen the price I thought even better !! but when I started building this unit I thought no way , its so unstable and flimsy , I thought it was good it managed to stand unaided.
I suppose it worth the price tag but I don't think I could trust its integrity if fully loaded and definitely not if it's free standing . It really needs some diagonal support in all directions , braced top to bottom diagonally on the back and sides would greatly improve the item and wouldn't be expensive to rectify , also if the shelving boards locked into the frame it would greatly improve the rigidity.
I bought 9 units and after I built 1 unit I thought it wouldn't be fit for purpose. Then I built another couple and only cable tied them together and backed them against a wall , this made a major difference to the stability and once I fixed them to the wall they really became quite ridged and I felt confident I could use them .
Cheap and cheerful they are and I wouldn't recommend them for heavy duty use also I would label them useless for free standing implementations and actually quite hazardous without coupling together or fixing to a structure.
Not a quality product...achieves value for money and.... will do the job with a few interventions .
Personal recommendations would be circumstantial depend on the intended use .
I feel my review is fair and accurate. I hope my review benefits the manufacturer and helps the purchaser to make an informed decision when buying the item .
Thanks

Stronger than they look, especially once fully assembled and secured to a wall
Great product. The first is a little tricky to assemble as it's all new. The next two easy.
I secured it to the wall as I knew I'd be placing some heavy items on it and didn't want any shifting issues. I have recommended the item several times already. Would buy againRead full review

Cheap and flimsy
These are cheap and flimsy but you get what you pay for. OK if you are willing to modify them with extra support and screw them solidly to a wall but the centre support is bobbins! I ended up having to screw extra timber supports in and even then only just acceptable. Assembly is fiddly and time-consuming, though once you have done a couple then there you get used to the right technique.
Overall they are cheap to buy and do look OK when fixed rigidly to a wall but be willing to modify them and spend the time it takes for assembly. It took me about 8 hours for first two shelf units but then did next two in 2 hours.
Only buy if you are short on cash but have the time and skills to modify.Read full review

Good for Purpose
I last purchased the higher UDL version. This lower version is fit for my current purposes, in terms of likely load, but it looks less substantial than it probably is, and if I change my plans in the future it won't do. Nevertheless, good value for money. Will buy again, but next time I'll think further ahead.Read full review

Ideal for my requirements
These were superior to the similar shelving units I've bought in the past and was pleasantly surprised at the ease of assembly. As noted in other reviews they need to be secured to a wall or other objects for stability, and this might well pull them slightly out of true which can make moving shelves more difficult, so best to get the shelves properly sorted before securing.Read full review

Reasonable garage shelving
The metal supports are not as sturdy as I anticipated and the actual shelves are quite thin. The units are a bit fiddly to put together as the little catches do not always sit neatly into the hooks and the structure sways about as you build it until the shelves are added. The middle struts and shelving definitely add rigidity so the end result is OK once fully assembled. I’m just using it for light items but would have returned and tried to find something more robust otherwise. Read full review

Ok
Perfect for light weight use.
The angle uprights are quite thin so dont try moving the shelving unit when loaded as the metal will bend.

On paper and following reading other customer reviews… I am prepared to be really impressed. They look to be easy and straightforward to assemble and the cost works out favourably against building a similarly capable system from scratch from timber, and that without the time element that I would need to commit. Arrived today and hopefully I get some favourable weather to empty the shed, assemble the units and then sort the contents into some sort of order.Read full review
