Good value for money and robust
These are good value (you can pay much more for the same units. They are 360cm long and 45cm wide which is wider and longer than other similarly priced units. They are sturdy.
Assembly is very easy (you only need a mallet). The cross members have two tabs at each end which fit into two slots.
It is a good idea to check that none of the tabs have been bent slightly in transit. They should be flush with the metal of the cross member. If not one tab will fit and one will miss. I had three racks which meant 60 cross members and 120 tabs. I had about six that had been bent slightly in transit but a quick adjustment with a pair of pliers sorted it all out.
The shelves are nice and sturdy (MDF). They sit on all four edges and a cross bar in the middle supports them underneath.
I found the plastic corners (small triangular plastic pieces that fit on the corners of the angle supports) were very awkward to fit and easily broke. They are not essential unless the racks are going onto a softer surface (my floor is concrete).
There are five shelves per rack that can go in almost any position where there are slots (except where the two vertical legs join in the middle).
They suggest one shelf at the very bottom and one at the very top, but you could have the lowest shelf a bit higher with floor space underneath.
You can if you prefer have each rack 1.8 metres tall or make it into two racks of 0.9 metres (but you have five shelves, so 3 on one and 2 on the other.
I am very pleased with them.

Does what it says
Good price for these.
They replace mercury batteries in cameras and light meters, but are 1.5V not 1.35V. In practice this makes no difference and metering is unaffected.

One of the great classic tripods
The SLIK 88 Tripod is a classic.
It is sturdy, stable and robust. The three things that a tripod needs to be.
It will hold a very heavy DSLR or SLR or medium format camera.
The box section legs are sturdy.
The centre column can be raised and lowered with a crank and locked in place.
Stays allow the legs to open equally, but the stays on any leg can be unlocked and relocked, allowing that leg to go horizontal if required (e.g. two legs on the ground and one resting horizontally on a table.
The tilt level unscrews and tightens for vertical tilt of the head, a screw allows the head to be angled (portrait or landscape). A large ring locks the head and stops it rotating.
The camera fixes using a slik quick fit post. This screws onto the bottom of the camera and when it is placed into the hole on the tripod platform, a l;ever/cam tightens the camera firmly onto the platform. It is the work of a split second to fit or release the camera, but you cannot accidentally remove the camera.
Warning. these are not made now. If you buy a used one make sure it comes with the quick fit post. The tripod is useless without it.
Great tripod that holds its value.
