Easy and strong but a warning
I purchased a set of 2x4 basics as I needed shelving in my garage. The day they arrived I picked up 16 2x4x8's for about $2.00 each (I used four green treated ones because my garage often floods and used these for the uprights) The project was fairly easy and fun. I'm not what anyone would call a "handy" guy, but I built these in an afternoon and they are stong and now full of stuff. The directions aren't very useful, but it didn't matter because much of the process is self explanatory. My only warning is that the screws included are fairly worthless. I spun the heads off of about six of them before I gave up and used some I had bought at the store which worked much better. I recomend getting a package of decent 1" #10 wood screws. These added about $3.00 to my cost but probably saved me from having to replace my garage window after throwing my drill through it. All in all, I like the system and the product. Gonna build two more in my basement. Wish they came in larger packs at a discount.
