G-RackSingle Additional Shelf Shelving Unit - 90 x 60cm Extra Tier for Heavy Duty Garage Shelving Units - For Workshop, Shed, Utility Metal Storage Shelves - Blue, 175kg Load Capacity

Really good set of shelves, and fairly easy to construct even on my own. Appreciated other reviews that suggested I wear gloves as the metal can be sharp on the corners and I would add that along with a mallet a large flathead screwdriver is a good tool to have to help bend the metal tabs back instead of using thumb power.On first inspection the heavy boxes that arrived could not have all the parts in them, but they're expertly packed. I worried that the shelves looked too thin to be up for the job, and the metal frame too flimsy to stay upright but I was wrong! The racks integrity comes when it is finally completed and then it feels very sturdy and secure. They suggest that you need only secure them to a wall if the height is greater than 2m, and these are 1.8m so at the moment I have not bothered as they seem fine, but I do plan to soon.There are other racks on the market and although these take 175Kg instead of 200Kg the price is cheaper so worth it, also I made a point of getting these are they have wide 60cm deep shelves. measure up any storage boxes you think you might use and that should help with deciding if you need these.Additionally, although the instructions do not mention it each box comes with some extra parts that allow you to secure the shelves to each other, which is helpful and saves money since I noticed these sorts of parts are available for sale.As far as tips, before you even start consider what height you will be setting each shelf at as it's not really possible to change you mind later. I went with a shelf at the very bottom (about 1cm from the ground) the next was a shallow height as I had specific boxes to store there and then I distributed the others evening, meaning the top shelf was at the very top of the rack meaning I could make the most of the space and add some light boxes on top. That said do note that the middle can't take a shelf as there is a connector that attaches the two halves of the 0.9m uprights to make it 1,8m.Talking of these, if you are building them alone I would suggest skipping the instruction to attach the two uprights and instead do this at the end once you are ready to add the shelves as that way there is less chance of bits falling and bending as I had with my first try. They slot very neatly and easily into each other and allow you to build two 90cm racks and not need a small step ladder to be working at 1.8m.One final note and that's the plastic feet, which are also added to the top of the shelves. As a result of adding these the racks are not able to be pushed perfectly flush to each other and instead leave a 5mm gap. This is not a problem for most but the space I was putting the three into was exactly 270cm which meant all three would not fit. As it's a garage and the walls are not perfectly true I got away with this by removing the feet at the top of the selves, and staggering them just a little - although I will need to cover the sharp metal tops now.Overall a really good buy, easy to build, great quality and allowed me to finally move junk and rubbish off the garage floor and up onto some shelves

I bought this to tidy up my hallway. I’d been using a cardboard box to put the shoes in and got this to replace it. It fits 6 pairs of shoes perfectly (perfect for our everyday shoes to go in). It assembled easily- my 12 year old nephew wanted to put it together and found it easy to do. It makes my hallway look nice and tidy. Worth the price. It is strong enough for the job but is a little unsteady if you put any weight on it or moving around would need to be a bit careful for nothing to come loose (hence the 4 star for sturdiness, as fine once set up and in place, but don’t use for anything heavy and best not to move about too much unless you want to re-assemble). All in all, good price and the quality was as expected.

Even if you're a competent & proficient DIYer, assembling this unit is far from "Ikea simple". Aim to set aside around 90 mins as a starter. Slot together assembly does sound easy, but the real world experience isn't.The problem is one of getting the horizontal and vertical pieces slotted together correctly with the linking tabs lined up correctly. Once you're half way through assembly you'll realise where you went wrong with the first few pieces and have to go back and start again. Some slot in easily, whilst others require a lot of bending & persuasion with a mallet and a screwdriver, so it's not straightforward.Once the skeletal frame is assembled the whole unit is still very rickety, until you add the MDF shelves in which seem to help make the unit more rigid. What the instructions don't say is that any shelves closer than 30 cm to the shelf above will simply not fit, because there's not enough "tilt" space to angle the shelf up before knocking into home into each corner. Very annoying to have to then start moving the horizontal beams to allow enough access.Also the MDF is supplied untreated. Lots of stories of people finding mould on theirs after a short space of time, so make sure you apply 2 coats of MDF sealer to avoid later mould problems from moisture. Amazon sell a good clear MDF sealer by Rustins, which I used.Finally, I'm not sure I would trust the claims about how much weight each shelf can take, but I can tell you I have a lot of heavy bottles and heavy garden tools on mine, and they seem to do the job okay. Time will tell.So it's a slightly generous 4 stars because overall it's extremely good value for the price, and it does the job you want it to. The assembly is a real pain though, and having ordered two of these I can say the second one wasn't that much quicker to put together despite all the lessons I'd learned on the first ! Good luck.

Like others I was initially sceptical about these so only bought one first. My 2 kids under 10 were great help and we got the shelf up in no time (under an hour for the first one). It does what it says. Completely boltless so easy to assemble - was harder as for the first shelf I did not have a rubber mallet. The wood does not smell whatsoever so as many others mentioned, use this in a dry room and if you want to put damp items then cover the shelves with plastic as they are not designed for wet items.Bought 2 more and they all fitted so well in my office and second time I purchased a rubber mallet for under a fiver via amazon so made my life much easier too. Showing out of stock right now but these are really good, adjustable and sturdy and i have filled them with all sorts of storage items and have had no issues for over 2 months now.

Easy to assemble. Bend the steel tabs out slightly to enable parts to slot together easier. Deeper than expected so check measurements before you buy. Sturdy and plenty of adjustment for shelf spacing. Would buy again .

These are very strong and sturdy, with strong boards. (Unlike, another set I'd purchased beforehand some time back, which were, aluminium a with thinner boards) . I can highly recommend these ones.

We are delighted with these shelves. Initially, I ordered one to assess the item, and since then, I've ordered three more. Excellent quality for the price, highly recommend. Easy to assemble, sturdy, and provides ample room for organizing our space.

I have similar shelves from a different manufacturer that cost a bit more. I tried this one. At first blush it seemed it might be a bit flimsy but it turns out to be remarkably sturdy once assembled. The trick is to make sure every tab is fully engaged....it can be a bit tedious sometimes to make sure they all are seated in the appropriate slots before tapping the pieces together. But, taking the time to get it right pays off. The shelf is sturdy and rigid for its weight. The angle of the upright support beams is sometimes a bit larger than a 90 degree angle...must be weight of stacking in shipping. Take time to tap them back to 90 degrees with a rubber mallet or soft piece of wood (I used a short 2x4). It makes assembly easier and the end caps won't fit if you don't. I agree with the instructions that 2 person assembly is easier, but, I did it by myself...just had to have a wall to lean it up against and went slowly. Bottom line...after getting it assembled I liked it so much that I bought more.

Ich habe in der Vergangenheit immer mal wieder solche Schwerlastregale gekauft und aufbauen dürfen und ich muss sagen, das hier sind die besten Schwerlastregale die ich bisher gefunden habe.Preislich sind Sie im Mittelfeld und dafür ist die Qualität überraschend hochwertig, hier hatte ich bisher leider bei vielen anderen Anbietern andere Erfahrungen gemacht.Ich kaufe ab jetzt nur noch diese hier!

Très pratique pour faire des aménagements de placards solides pour les jouets de mes filles. Une bleu et une rouge achetées en 180x90x60. Je n'ai pas peur qu'elles grimpent dessus car les deux étagères sont attachées avec un connecteur qui est fourni.Je trouve que ça a été facile de les monter, il faut juste faire attention à bien se mettre à plat pour emboiter les traverses, puis un petit coup de massette en caoutchouc et c'est monté. J'aime aussi le systeme d'attache de la traverse centrale : un peu difficile de plier les pattes au début, mais une fois qu'on a le coup de main, ça prend 2 min et ça ne risque pas de s'enlever.La différence entre la bleu et la rouge se situe sur le poids max que supporte chacune des étagères. Les deux étagères sont identiques, seule l'épaisseur des planches fournies diffère et donc cela joue sur le poids max supporté. Mais avec 175kg ou 265kg, j'ai de la marge pour mon usage !
