Very High Quality Consumer Product This Sterilite 5-shelf utility storage unit is one of the finest consumer products I’ve seen in a long time. Being an industrial engineer, I’m not easily impressed. But I am impressed by the quality and low price (I paid $32 at Amazon with free shipping) of this unit. Assembled, it has a nice look. The 150 pound limit per shelf is staggering considering it is made of plastic and marketed for non-industrial use. The color of the material is neutral and nice while the physical properties of the plastic are excellent. These combine hardness vs. softness for maximum static strength perfectly. (Some manufacturers make storage racks like this too brittle allowing for minimal deformation under load. However, this brittleness, inherent in the material, makes them easily broken.) Sterilite has balanced both to make a shelf hard enough to maintain form under load but soft enough to take dynamic stress without breaking. Proper assembly takes about a half hour. There is…
Great quality, low price, easy assembly For less than $30 (at least as I’m writing this review) these things can’t be beat. Everything snaps together and once assembled you have a sturdy, not entirely unattractive set of shelves.One suggestion that makes these shelves even more stable is to put a couple of shims (like ) under the front legs so the it will tend to lean back against the wall.BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews can take the place of first-hand experiences that are lacking in online shopping. I’ve always appreciated the help I’ve received from other reviewers and work hard to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and if there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I’ll do what I can to fix it.
