To anyone still reading this -- the quality of the particle board is hardly the problem. If you choose the stacked orientation (and I'm assuming that's 90-95% of our plans) then the only thing keeping the top legs from suddenly slipping 2cm to the top of the linking keyhole is the angle-iron of the top legs perfectly mating the angle-iron of the bottom. There are various mechanical ways to prevent this, but it's among the most absurd design flaws I've ever seen in "heavy duty" anything. Pick up ANYTHING from walmart and it'll have some system in place to keep this from happening.
******************************************* 10-31-11 UPDATELast day to get this deal. You have to go to your nearest ACE B&M store and get them to make a 'SO' or special order. You can either make a deposit or pay in full (at the discountred $29.99 rate) and they'll set it aside on the next delivery. Pretty sweet huh?! I stopped by my store today and they had none in, but offered to special order it for me. So it doesnt matter if it is ONLINE or INSTOCK B&M |
These are VERY light duty shelving units with 3/8" particle board shelves. Are they worth $30? Yes, but don't count on them holding any real weight
|
Quote:
Capacity per shelf: 200 lbs :rolleyes: |

Quote:
Let's say 1/2 of that at 100 lbs per shelf then. Sounds like "real weight" to me. Hell, 50lbs per shelf is allot. What do you plan on storing on these, lead bars? :cool: |
In for 1, tempted to get 2 at this price!
Thanks Brisar :) Cost Summary Merchandise Subtotal: $29.99 FREE shipping when you choose Ship-to-Store. Shipping and Handling: $0.00 Sales Tax: $1.98 Total Order Cost: $31.97 |
Umm. These shelfs are plenty sturdy. Mdf is fine for this, that is a long as it dosent get wet. They are fairly small so yes this would support 200 lbs. If ur that worried abt it u can replace the shelves with plywood.
Hey! It says can be assembeled as a shelf or workbench! Thats definnitly a plus! |
Just spread your crap out, heaviest stuff out towards the edges, these hold just fine.
|
I got the one from Lowe's for free when I bought some cleaning supplies. The shelves are bowed and breaking with about 100 lbs on each shelf.
|
Whoa. I was just about to buy this, but the lead bars that I will be storing on it are 205 pounds. I guess I'll keep looking.....
|
Quote:
|
Good deal, I bought this exact shelf over a year ago for the same price after rebate when it was featured here.
Once it is all put together it is surprisingly sturdy. The max weight per shelf may be exaggerated but realistically who needs it that high? Ignore all the naysayers. |

The specs say 200 lb evenly distributed load. That is probably true, but I have also seen a car balanced on 4 beer cans before. They probably should not use a photo that has the heaviest loaded shelf with maybe 15 pounds on it. |

I'm in for 1. I just weighed my lead bars and they are only 199 lbs. |
Thanks. Got 1.

Quote:
I've got a shelf unit that is made of even cheaper stuff than this and it has held up 20 years with paint, power tools, regular tools etc. on it. Just don't get this wet with the particle board as stated earlier and it should last just as long, if not longer. |
are these made by the same guys that make gorilla glue? i'm not buying it either way, but that would be awesome. i want shelves for my glue.
|
If you get them wet or store anything that sweats with temp changes they will fail quick. One winter and mine collapsed in the garage and DENTED MY MUSTANG! Grrrrr
|
Great price- always had good luck with this brand. Worth a try for basement storage. Thanks-repped

I bought some Rubbermaid shelves that were around this price and they don't even hold 30lbs. I would say this was a good deal. |
In for 1
|
we have them at work, perfect for cardboard boxes and plastic bags.... don't get them wet... seriously
once assembled... don't move it or it'll fall apart or warp they are shallow, short, and not even a full 24" wide... which makes them ALMOST pointless to own unless you don't have the square footage for a real shelf. |
Costco has some great racks that are about double this size, and much better built for about $60 (I have 3 of them) They are rated for 500lbs per shelf, and I believe it will hold that much.
|
Thanks OP, was looking for a nice set of racks.
|
Fantastic! Gonna use this to hold the stacks of Touchpads I've bought. I've got so many of them, i've been using them as coasters...

Again...just don't get these things wet......or feed them after midnight...
|
We have owned these for over a year with no problems. I use them to store canned goods and they are going strong, going to pick up another set.
|
No way a gorilla would fit on these shelves...
|
Quote:
|
The particle board shelves will flex/bow over time. I recommend picking up some plywood from lowes and have it cut to fit. It will only cost you a few bucks. I have 2 of these shelves.
|
I suggest getting gorilla racks.
I have 5 of them in a basement corner. I built the short version into the corner using 2 of them and then built the other 3 as the tall version. Works wonders and stores a bunch of stuff. I bet building my own wood shelving units would cost more plus the GRs go together in minutes. Besides, how much does all your discards really weigh? These should hold common househod junk piles. |
Slow day today?
|
Right now I only have 1 really crapola level shelf system out in my garage. The "poles" are made from cheap plastic and the "shelves" are made from cheap-o particle board. Not just regular particle board.
I have had it for over 5 years, store all kinds of paint, chemicals, tools, toolboxes, etc. on it. You just have to be smart. Put the absolute heaviest stuff on the lowest shelf, and put heavy items on the other shelves towards the poles. Common sense. Long story short, these shelves will be more than enough for me to finally clean up all the random crap in my garage and throughout the house. If for some reason it seems the shelves won't be sturdy enough, it won't be a problem to run down to Lowe's and have them cut a few pieces of plywood for a couple bucks. Thumbs/Reps. I picked up 2 for a bit over $60 with tax. Was just about to buy a saw and a butt load of lumber and get started on building my own shelves. Hooray for SD! |
These are a great deal at this price. I have a set of the 48" wide ones I got years ago and have put car batteries, tool boxes, even a 55 gallon full fish tank on them (just doubled the boards for the tank). They are tough and sturdy. If I hadn't just made home-built garage shelving, I would definitely be buying more of these.
Thanks OP, recommending these for some friends right now. |
showing oos?

I got 3 or 4 of these last year and love them. When putting them together, they were flimsier (is that even a word?) than I expected. Once assembled, however, they are surprisingly strong. I keep paint and paint supplies on one and it has held up nicely. They also work beautifully with 6Q shoe boxes that you can find at Kroger or Big Lots for a $1 a piece:
|
Sounds like a great deal. in for 1
|
Looks like it's OOS online. :(
|
I have a flimsy metal shelf unit yet to assemble. Must resist as not really in need. Please go OOS soon. Dang you SD.
|
oos already?
|
In for 1, thanks!

They seem pretty nice!

1st store was out out of them. They had a run on them on Sat.
2nd store had 2 of them. Bought them both and used the Ace $5 Q. |
Good deal. Replace the particle board with MDF if you want it to be stronger.
|
How much does a 30 pack weigh?:cool:
|
Damn oos?
|
anyone ever had luck using a $5 off $25 coupon for an online purchase to be picked up in store, will they adjust?

It didn't have HDMI, couldn't play SC2 or crysis on high settings, and didn't involve flipping it on ebay for vast amounts of cash, so I figured I could wait a bit before trying to buy one. I never would have guessed it would sell out so fast. : ( |
Will be visiting my local Ace first time since we moved. I need several of these.
As for the heavy-duty discussion goes: Actually I prefer them to be somewhat light-duty, because that's how I will use them and I wouldn't want to pay for something I don't need. |

I have this in my garage from the deal last year.
It's help up very well since then and for $30, it's a good deal. I don't have any really heavy items on the shelf so I can't comment on that. If you plan on putting 200lb + stuff on the racks, you should probably be paying for something a lot more expensive than this. |

OOS looks like, bummer |
these are the lightweight model, but for $30 not bad
|
I love gorillaracks. Have 5 of the slightly heavier-duty 18" x 36" in my garage, and those can easily support whatever i put on them. 24 x 12-packs of soda on 1 shelf? No problem and those things are heavy! I've had 2-3 other brands of steel & particleboard shelving units, and gorillarack is the only brand that was worth a damn.

|
I picked up the only 2 at the Odenton, MD store this morning, not the sturdiest but will help organize all the random stuff in my garage! I'll probably get a sheet of thicker plywood in the future to replace the particle board shelves, but for $30 you can't go wrong! I thought it was easy to assemble, only took me about 10-15 minutes and I did it my myself.

oh by the way.... the 1st one took me about 30 minutes but I really took my time and went slow to make sure I did it right. |
My local ACE had about a dozen of these at $30. Picked one up for the garage. Took about 30 mins for me to put it together by myself, probably would've been 10 mins if I had an extra set of hands to help hold stuff. Looks good and sturdy enough for my purposes.

FYI, not the sturdiest (I have mine anchored to the ceiling joist in the basement just in case), but really, I have over 100 lbs on each shelf, no bending in 4 years, everything is good. Gorilla, maybe not, maybe more like baby gorilla, but still good value for money. |

We use these for parts storage at a truck repair shop. These are really good quality. We hold water pumps, bearings, wheel seals, filters, and many other parts. We have about 15 of these. I would recommend these to people.
EDIT: I may be talking about a different size... All I know it is a gorilla rack. I don't know if they make different quality for different sizes, but like I said before. I would recommend it. |

These shelves are pretty flimsy, and they're definitely never meant to be taken down and moved. I moved mine once and it was a little messed up, the second time I just threw them out since it wasn't worth the hassle.
I'm not saying they're a bad deal at the price, but know the cons. I much prefer plastic shelves in the super cheapo garage shelving market. |

And now back out of stock again....
|
missed it
|
My 2 cents. The shelves are supported almost 100% around the edge, the boards drop onto metal frame with a lip all the way around. That is what helps hold the weight (200 lbs). That being said, they are particle board shelves, so they will warp, twist, sag after years of humidity and moisture.
Def worth $30 to put stuff on for a normal home owner. |
These shelves will to just fine as long as you aren't storing your transmissions and engines on them.
|
Ahh...brings back the memory from the Sears chaos deals...where I ended up paying like $10 per selves...which involved writing complaints to the BBB, money back while keeping the shelves for some reason, etc...It was about a 1 month long process, however, I guess it was worth it.
It is pretty good shelves for the money. Good luck to those who got on the deal. |
Not sure if this helps anyone else, but I was able to click "Add to Cart" before the
"Currently not available online, please check back or contact your local Ace for availability."message appears. From there I was able to order the shelves. Gotta be quick, or get dialup. :) |

I got the deal as well. They ended up paying me twice what they cost to keep 8 sets. Took months, but paying me to take shelves was worth it. |
Call your local store. They will take payment over the phone and hold them, if they have them in stock.

woohoo, thx op, just bought two for a new house I'm closing on in a month, have to drive 35 mins for em though :/

out of stock online but 3 in my local store
They were out of stock online but I called the store and they have 3 in stock for $29.99 normally $69.99 and held one for me. Thanks SLICK DEALS!!!

i missed it too. i called my local store and they told me that they never heard gorilla racks selling for $30.
|
Dimensions....
Can anybody who has one tell me the exact dimensions of the shelves/unit, outside to outside. I called my local ACE store and they had them at 36" wide, but the dimensions online are 34" wide. .I have a cubby that is about 35 1/2" wide and I want to make sure its going to fit. TIA

unavailable..........again

Picked up 2 at my local store. They had about 7-10 left. If you live near Clinton Township, Michigan then you will find them at the store on Hayes/18 Mile Road.

picked up two on the first day of the ad. Had a local groupon for $20 for 10$ and ran two transactions with a 5 off 25 from the entertainment book. Assembled one flat in halves for a narrow work shelf and the other tall next to it. Working out great!

Thanks OP.
I'm going to my local store and buying three of them for my 12 year old's bedroom. Then paint the shelves black, line them up on one wall (attach them to the wall and each other) for his models, x-box, and matching storage boxes for his clothes (neon green rubbermaid?). I'm thinking Ikea wannabe look with a new black futon. Still working on the finished look... hmm Does anyone understand the workbench set up? |

Get a rain check
My local ACE said I could get a rain check the GR is on sale all month.
|
I just went down and picked one of these up at a local store, all the ones in town had stock of them. Great price, not a perfect shelf, but for the price it is great. I have a space in a storage area that is 34 inches by 14.5 inches, so this was clearly a perfect fit. The box it comes in is pretty small, so easy to get in any car. The only thing I regret it maybe not getting two, I'm sure I could find a use for another. I might replace the shelves with regular plywood as I have extra.....
|
in for 5 units, but canceled 1 unit because ACE does not take gift card online order and does not accept coupon. Buying these shelf for my garage so that I don't have to build one myself. May be, adding wheels on bottom shelf for easy moving around.
