Amazon Basics 4-Shelf Steel Wire Rack 13 4 D x 23 2 W x 48 H in Black

It took me about 30 minutes to put this shelf unit together. I'm a 77-year-old woman, with multiple disabilities, and it was a snap to assemble. Assembly time included opening the box, removing all the wrapping, putting the small parts in bowls, and the actual assembly of the unit. The problem some people are having is due to not reading the directions if they aren't familiar with how these shelves go together. You need to keep the sets of poles together and not get them mixed up. Lay them out as they come out of the wrapping. While they should be interchangeable, that isn't always the case and there is less likelihood of a problem if you keep each set of four poles together. Screw in the four wheels to one set of 4 poles. With the poles lying on the floor, wheels facing you, decide where you want your first shelf to be. It will cover the black, plastic shelf clips so that should give you an idea of where the shelf will finally rest on the pole. Look for the arrow on a black shelf clip and have it pointed away from you. Line the line on a shelf clip up with a line on the pole and clip it in place. You shouldn't be able to move the clip up or down on the pole if you lined up the clip properly. Attach a matching clip to the one on the pole. Make sure the arrow on the clip faces away from you. The two clips won't totally come together to make it easier to remove them if you decide to change the position of a shelf. That gap won't affect the stability of the shelf. Lay a shelf on its long side with the lip facing you. Feed one of the wheeled poles through a hole on your first shelf so that the wheels are facing you. Push the pole forward until most of the shelf clip is covered by the shelf. Repeat with the other 3 poles. Set the shelf unit up on its 4 wheels. Decide where you want your next shelf and attach the shelf clips by counting lines up or down from a set of double lines. With a second set of clips on the poles lift your next shelf up, with the lip facing the floor, and set it down on the poles so that it covers the second set of clips. Depending on where you want your next shelf to be you may want to screw the next set of poles to your bottom poles before adding another shelf. Screw in a coupler for each pole then screw in the remaining poles. Flip a pole if the pole and coupler give resistance. You can force the pole to screw into the coupler but it is easier to flip the pole and less likely to damage the threads. The rest of the shelves are added like the previous ones. After the last shelf is in place push the pole end caps into the top of the poles and your unit is finished. While these lighter units aren't as sturdy as the commercial units they work great in most home situations. I have similar units that I put together over 20 years ago and they have been heavily loaded and moved many times. Don't let the negative reviews discourage you from purchasing these shelves. I know it is confusing if you haven't put this type of shelf together before, but once you get the hang of how the shelf clips work the shelves assemble really quickly. Even the larger units can be assembled by just one person in about a half hour. If you take the few minutes to learn how the clips work the rest of the assembly is pretty much intuitive. And the result of those few minutes will be versatile shelves that are sturdy and can be moved from room to room. It is really hard to go wrong purchasing these shelves. Read more

This shelf is perfect for storing indoor plants! In the first photo, I have a pineapple plant sitting on the second-to-bottom rack, and the shelf holds. The second photo is how it looks when you first open the package. It came on time, with no damage. The assembly is pretty easy, but to make it easier, I suggest asking someone to help. The instructions are mostly images, but are still clear and easy to follow. It's sturdy even if you shake it a bit, and the wheels on the bottom run smoothly and can lock. It does come with tools to attach it to walls, but I placed mine in front of my window. I am very happy with this product! Read more

I bought this for my basement and it's fantastic. Assembly took about 15 minutes, no tools required, which is a huge plus. The adjustable shelf heights allowed me to fit large storage bins on the bottom and smaller toolboxes up top. It feels very sturdy once you have some weight on it. It's nice and lightweight, which makes moving it around easy. The size is perfect, it fits everything I need on it, including all my Amazon items. Just be careful to inspect for damaged shelves, they won't sit level if bent. Otherwise I'm really happy with this rack. Read more
