DEWALT 4 Ft. Industrial Storage Shelf

Strong. Made well. Quickly assembly

This product was difficult to assemble for me. It's very easy to put components in the wrong order or direction.Once it was assembled, it was fantastic. I ordered this to put my aquarium displays on, and it help a 50 gallon tank on the top,A 10 gallon in the middle, and two 20 gallon tanks on the bottom. I didn't have to mount it to the wall, it stood firmly on its own and did not give me any reason to be concerned about the safety of my aquariums.I since have moved. This item was not difficult to load up or move. It required minimal deconstruction. Now it acts as my pantry/utility shelf and fits a good deal of items I otherwise would not have room for.

These shelves really are great, compared to the slightly less expensive BROR series from Ikea these still feel like great value for money. They assemble well and are very strong when built. We ordered a second, and then two more (from Home Depot where they area bit cheaper).The only issue with these kits is the plastic trim pieces which go over some of the joints. both sets arrived with broken parts, clearly some cheapo plastic which gets broken in transit. Even so I 100% recommend these units for the strong look and feel. Once built and filled you won't really notice the missing plastic pieces, but it would be nice if they didn't break.Amazing wanted a star rating for 'Security features'. They're quite big (exactly as bit as the dimensions) and really heavy once I covered them in stuff, so they would be hard to steal. 5 Stars.

Outstanding and built well. Worth the money.

Heavy duty unit, very solid.

The directions suck. Easier and faster just to figure out how to put together by youreslf. Nice shelves. Sturdy. The screws are a little cheap so watch not to strip heads. Consider buying a drawer unit for these. Also very sturdy and easy to assemble.

The design is good. It's made in China and has a bit of made in China issues. A couple pieces were a little bent, but those can be bent back into place. I didn't realize there was a Dewalt logo on one of the racks, so I have that one in an odd place. Should be easy enough to fix, just not worth the effort.

Having recently built a bunch of other shelves for a new garage, I figured these shelves would be a walk in the park. It took me around twice the time to build these shelves vs. the cheaper shelves I had built earlier, even though the other shelves were taller (72" vs. 48").I'm not a DeWalt fanboy, but these shelves are striking, so if you like DeWalt, they'll make you happy.Part of the build time you can chalk up to these being much sturdier than other shelves - almost ridiculously so. But I ran into two build issues that I would have given an extra star to avoid:1. There are four U-bracket caps labelled "A" and "B" - there are supposed to be two of each. Instead, I got three "B" caps, and only one "A" cap. Thinking I screwed things up, I had to take apart the side I had already built, only to find that indeed, I had been shorted one "A" cap. In the end, I made it work by putting the extra "B" where "A" should have gone, but frankly, there is no good reason why they needed two different cap styles to begin with. It only increases the chance that they will be fulfilled incorrectly.2. Compared with the previous (non-DeWalt) shelves I built, the instructions are *way* too wordy and complicated. A couple of well-placed diagrams (e.g. showing both correct and incorrect orientations) would be worth several hundred words each. It's not so much that these shelves are hard to build, but the instructions make it seem way more complicated than it really is.I ordered two sets of shelves - I'm hoping to at least avoid the U-bracket cap problem on the second build.In summary:Pros:Built like a brick dunny. Really, really strong.DeWalt, if you like that.Cons:Build instructions are more complicated than needed.Some QC issues, complicated by unnecessary parts specialization.Kind of expensive for 48" shelves.P.S. The second set of shelves built very quickly - I didn't need to refer to the way-too-complicated instructions at all. As I mentioned, the build is easy - the instructions aren't. Also, the second set had the requisite 2 x "A" caps and 2 x "B" caps, so that issue was avoided as well.
