    We needed more storage space in our 3-car garage. Started with some heavy duty wall shelves but they would only hold on exterior walls. So we decided to use these Gladiator shelves (6 of them) to solve our storage issues. Very pleased. They are SOLID! And relatively easy to put up. Easier with two people, but no tools (save maybe a rubber mallet) are needed. I would buy these again.

    I love these shelves so much I bought two. They are incredibly strong and sturdy for their size. I use them for fish tanks if that gives you any indication of their strength and integrity. These shelves are super easy to set up and they are very attractively industrial looking. I swear by Gladiator shelves and I’m a customer for life.

    Overall great shelves. The frame is super well made. My only issue is that for how great the frame was the wire rack was not a sturdy as I expected. Works great just thought it would be thicker. Also i bought 2 of these shelves. Both came damaged. The damage for 1 was minor but will have to return second. Which is a bummer since they way about 120 lbs.

    Arrived damaged, likely due to manufacturer negligence as the box looked decent enough when it was delivered. The two end frames are what was damaged, rendering the complete thing a waste without replacement parts. I’m hoping I can get the replacement parts delivered for free without returning this as it is very heavy and I already paid $140 for shipping!

    I bought these along with my gladiator wood top work bench, and I’m glad I did. For years I’ve dealt with the cheap shelving units from the discount stores, but I’ve found that you get what you pay for. These gladiator shelves are easy to assemble (I did it by myself) and they look great. They are also very sturdy.

    We picked up 5 of these in different sizes and they have the garage looking wonderful. It's easy to keep everything organized and off of the ground. It only took 20 minutes to put them together by myself after the first one. These can handle anything you need stored or organized and won't bend like other cheaper shelving units.

    Bought these for the unfished part of my basement for storage. Solid construction, very strong. Only downside is the box is very heavy so I recommend having the delivery people place them where you plan on assembling the shelves

    I ordered this shelving unit based on the reviews and couldn't be happier with It! It holds camping equipment, tools, and painting supplies. It looks great and is very sturdy. We bought this to replace a shelving unit that had pressed wood shelves which had sagged over time. One minor issue we had was that one of the bottom pieces of the frame was bent a little but we were able to straighten it enough so that the unit wasn't compromised. Worth noting though is that the box is extremely heavy and it is best to have the delivery men place it where you will be assembling it. The delivery men were awesome and advised me to do this and it saved us a lot of grief having to move it! Excellent product!

    This is a heavy duty shelf that weights approximately 150 lbs. It took me 20 minutes to put it together. Make sure that you set it up on flat ground, otherwise; the front and back steel bars may not connect properly. This thing is a beast....I'm really happy at how sturdy it is and how easy it was to build. I bought it about 2 months ago and haven't had any issues. I highly recommend this product.

    This shelving is heavy duty and easy to assemble. It is expensive, but worth the price and Best Buy had the best price with free delivery for Elite/Elite Plus. Home improvement stores charge around $75 for delivery alone.

    I don’t usually do reviews but I wanted to provide my input on the Gladiator shelving provided by Best Buy. When I purchased the shelving I expected a decent product considering the higher price over other shelving. Simply... Wow! I could not be happier! The shelving was easy to assemble even with just one person. The quality is beyond anything I expected for the price point. I can tell from working with the different pieces during assembly that this is a very durable shelving unit. I bought two 48” and two 60” shelving units and will buy more when and if I need them.

    sturdy well made shelves that offer value

    These shelves are not flimsy like many of the other options available here or at the home improvement stores. They hold plenty of weight, assemble easily with one person, and are an overall great value for the cost. Only complaint is I wish the metal grating was stronger and supported on the ends; however, this is not a deal breaker. Worst case if you really want to put 1000 pounds of weight on a shelf just replace the metal grating with something sturdier like HDPE and call it good. I am using them to store plastic tote boxes in my garage and they are exactly what I was hoping for. Ordering more now.

    This is the second Gladiator storage piece I've purchased in the last several years. It's made of high quality materials, very easy to assemble, strong enough to hold my storage items and a great value for the price. Highly recommend any of the Gladiator storage products.
