"If you have put a knocked down unit together like this one, you will understand:
1. need some work area on the floor to assemble.
2. most instructions for this type of unit are the best in the world.
3. will need 30-45 minutes to put together.
4. suggest (like some other reviews) anchor it to a wall, especially if you plan on handling some heavier parts.
5. once done - this unit is a wonderful asset to any shop or parts room. keeps things organized and neat."

Steel shelves - plastic bins,
March 7, 2007
By TheYank from Magnolia, TX
"The uprights and shelves are steel and the bins are a heavy plastic. The bins have a slot in the back that allow them to 'hang' when you pull them out to access what's inside. There are 5 bins to a shelf and they just sit there, nothing to hold them in place or prevent them from falling out the back, so be sure you put it against a wall.
I was disappointed that the instruction sheet did not explain how far apart to put the shelves. We did a little math and then counted the holes to keep them the same distance. Some of the nuts did not fit well on the bolts and we had to use a socket with a screwdriver to tighten them. A couple of the holes did not quite match and we screwed them into the holes. It would have been nice to know what size tool to use to tighten the nut.
I would have preferred some sort of 'feet' for the uprights. The steel sits directly on the floor and will cut into any material unless you have something under it. Since my warehouse has a laminated and tile floor, I put wood under the shelf to keep it from scratching the tile.
I would recommend you put the shelf up on sawhorses to assemble it. That made it easier. The shelf was a bit 'wonky' when we uprighted it. It would be better if it had more cross supports on the sides."
