Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I was paranoid because I was seeing all the reviews and complaints about how flimsy this is, how it arrives damaged, how the parts don't connect or close completely, blah blah. I too saw that the shelf sleeves that hold each shelf don't close completely. I looked online and at videos and then I really thought about the design. Why would you want them to close completely? You don't! The engineering behind it is to create a tight compression when the shelf is forced lower by the weight of what you stack and by the taper of each sleeve. If you had something big enough to close completely around each leg, you would not have this tightness and you would then have long-term problems with the shelf collapsing. It's this "error" in manufacturing that makes this product very durable. Bottom Line: Don't believe the complaints. Buy this shelf today. See my pic as proof. Probably over 50lbs with car tools and parts alone.
