The Edsal UR185L-BLK five-shelf standing shelf unit has a 16-gauge steel rack and shelves made of particle board to support an 800-lb. per shelf capacity and a 4000-lb. total capacity when the weight is distributed evenly across all shelves. This unit has double-riveted beams that lock into double-rivet holes on the corner post for structural security. The corner post rivet holes on this unit are punched at 1-1/2″ intervals for precise adjustment to desired shelf height. The steel rack has a black enamel finish to resist corrosion. This unit is open on all four sides to facilitate access to shelf contents from any angle.
The posts on this unit have a two-piece design so it can be assembled vertically to create one 72 x 48 x 18 inch (H x W x D) unit, or assembled horizontally to create one 36 x 48 x 18 inch unit with two shelves, and one 36 x 48 x 18 inch unit with three shelves. (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) This shelf unit has a rivet lock design for boltless assembly. Assembly instructions are included. A rubber mallet (sold separately) is recommended for assembly.
Standing shelf units are commonly used to store items to help create organized, efficient, and safer work areas. These systems typically consist of a frame or rack with open shelves. Added components such as casters, wheels, or handles are used for applications that require mobility.

Excellent shelving… I bought 2 of these units from Home Depot for my garage.Pros:1. Super easy to set-up (requires a rubber mallet but nothing else). One person assembly, took all of 15 minutes from start to finish. A 12 y/o could put these together no problem.2. Incredibly stable w/ a rated weight limit of 4,000 lbs overall. (Other units really don’t compare as they can only support 50 – 150lbs on average per shelf).3. They easily hold 12 and/or 13 gallon storage bins between the shelves and they are adjustable for larger items.4. Can be used as a workbench instead. The shelves can be split into two sections and placed side by side (2 shelves on one, 3 on the other)… using the top shelves as a workbench space. So basically you don’t have to make it 72″ tall, each can be 36″ tall instead.5. Can be drilled into studs for safety and support. No need to make a hole, just use the ones already created for the shelving. Recommend 1 3/4″…
Great! This shelving unit is great, I own a bath product business and needed a drying rack & somewhere safe for my things to sit on. You don’t need any type of tools, but it was rather difficult assembling and locking the shelves into place. Be sure to have them all locked into place before continuing onto the next level. I plan on getting another shelf like this, does its job very well! Other then the fact of it being slightly difficult locking into place, all it needs it some elbow grease! Didn’t take long to put together either! I will purchase again in the near future.
Solid and heavy duty I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to put together and how solid it was. You just need a malot or hammer to fully lock each shelf down. If using a hammer I recommend using a small towel as well so as to not mar the finish. If I had room enough I would get another one. Definitely would recommend.
