Lowes has Esdal 74"H x 48"W x 18"D Steel Freestanding Shelving Unit for $49 with free in-store pickup [Store Locator]. Thanks Mike_Hawk

Thanks, I just ordered 2 of them.

Whats the space between shelves? About 18 inches or so?

They're adjustable

Picked these up on BF... good shelving

hmm, almost bought em but looks like a lot of reviews said they sag after about 2 months... too bad..

Just replace the particle board shelf with plywood and your good to go. Also combine with Ace's $10 off $50 coupon for today only to make this deal even sweeter!

They are adjustable, but it is limited because you absolutely must have a shelf right in the middle because it holds the top and bottom pieces together. Of course, you are generally going to put one on the top and one on the bottom, so you can really only adjust the other 2 shelves.

This is a great deal for some good shelves. I have some and while the particleboard does sag a bit after a while, it still holds what I need it to hold without breaking, so it is not bad enough that I have replaced it. If you want to hold something really heavy right in the middle of the shelf it might be a problem, but if the weight is pretty well distributed it works.

I had a row of 1 gallon paint cans on one of the shelves. Yup, after a while it sagged, but still held up just fine.

Since I'm picky, I just made an afternoon trip to Lowes and got some OSB flooring, ripped it to fit and now I have SUPER strong shelving units that just laugh when I chunk my power tools and bowling balls onto them.

The 48"x24"x1/2" particle boards alone are worth over $40.
Any coupons to sweeten the deal?

Not sure if serious.

Mover coupon.
Shopdiscover 5% CB

Just put these together no more shitty plastic shelves this is legit...

These seemed a bit wobbly to me when the shelves were loaded with heavy stuff (paint cans, power tools, auto parts, etc). The thickness of metal for the vertical posts was rather slim and made the unit flimsy, seemed like it needed an x brace added to the back to stiffen them up. Just my two cents... Everyone on here seems to have had a decent experience.

yes, use the 10 off 50 ace hardware coupon ( as mentioned above) or grab a 10% off moving coupon from the post office for lowes ( this is what I used on BF)

Bought two of these. Great shelves. Also agree that if any sagging became a problem, board could be replaced with a stronger board pretty easy.

As a side note - My Sams has the same shelves except that they are taller and $59. As I remember it, you get an additional shelf and it is 84" tall instead of 72" tall.

These are pretty decent shelves. Got 6 a few years back. It was actually cheaper than the rinky-dink other one they had at the time that seamed very flimsy. The shelving itself is/was made of particle board, but they do a great job holding all my munitions, reinforced.

costco has these for about the same price

If they sag a bit, just flip 'em upside down -- the small "bump" will eventually flatten

These shelves are solid, had them for about a year and a half and have not had any sagging yet, but it is particle board, so use common sense. Have my jack and jack stands on the bottom shelf, outer perimeter. Lighter stuff towards the middle.

Had to wrestle with Sears, but got these for like $20 each after a price mistake from 2 Black Fridays ago.

Yup! I have these in the garage as a workbench - an order of two will make a 16 foot wide workbench at a nice height. They are very sturdy. They don't really show but they can be put together side by side for low shelving and its a very good use.

They are more sturdy than they look. if you distribute the weight evenly, you can put hundreds of pounds on a shelf.

I bought two more for the basement

Are these Gorilla Racks?

Are they on some kind of sale now at Costco or just regular price is around $50 all the time?

No, they are similiar but made by a different company.

Thanks - in for 1.

Thanks OP in for 2 TU

they sell a comparable TRINITY NSF 4-tier All-purpose Indoor/Outdoor Black Shelving Rack for 55 + tax at costco, but not sold in store in my area.

Not sure how much costco would charge to ship it.

how would this compare to these?

I own one of these and they definitely do sag. I own another brand, can't think the name right now that are almost identical except the shelves are covered by black laminate and do not sag whatsoever probably due to the laminate covering.

Flimsy, lot more time to assemble, If assembly not done correctly will be a problem, and not as much of weight capacity.

I bought these over the summer with a coupon and paid $5 or $10 more. They're great for garage storage. Like a previous poster said, use common sense with the heavy stuff near the edges. Mine is in a garage corner so maybe that is why I haven't noticed any flimsiness.

Good luck finding something more robust at this price. I looked at commercial shelving but a comparable unit was several times more expensive.

There are two different models - this one is lighter duty then the other (not on sale) version. I believe the OTHER version is good for something like 1200 lbs.

I saw them stacked up on BF but passed as 800 lbs is not adequate for shelving this large, IMO.

If anyone has a 10% lowe's mover's guide they won't be using, could you please pm me with the code? I need to buy a few of those shelving units. Thanks

Where do you get the 10 off 50 Ace Hardware coupon? Is there any way to use this online or do you just have to go in to a store that has the shelf in stock?

Go to Post Office and ask for "Movers Packet" at the counter. You will find a Lowes 10% coupon there. They are hiding those behind the counter these days. I went and picked one up y'day and bought an appliance for $1070 and save a cool $107!!!

thanks, i know where i can get it, but i just can't go out today to get the packet. I was going to make a lowe's online purchase.

we get to buy a "RACK" for $50 but we have to worry that they "SAGG" over time, isn't it how all women are too?

good price, but it is junk! Make sure you have a good hammer and lots of patience when you assemble it... I wouldn't use them to store more than 200lb

According to the website/link, the shelves are actually 72"H x 48"W x 24"D, not 74"H x 48"W x 18"D as listed in the post.

Thanks, in for 12.

I work at a school so need extra!

They do.. I threw away the second one out of the 2 I bought last BF. a waste of time and money IMHO

I can see your point, you can't complain much for the price... but $49 for a piece of trash does sound expensive to me

These are EXCELLENT units.. I have 3 in my garage already. HEAVY duty... and you can use them as work desks two high....

Just for your information my company ordered a few of these racks, they are great except for the pieces of plywood that come with the rack. They sag, we replaced with thicker plywood. cheers!

I bought these shelves 3 years ago and the shelves were bowing within a month. I was storing fairly light stuff like board games and toys.

If you're determined to repeat my mistake, you might as well pick up the plywood replacement shelves while you're there.

is there any leveling system on this thing like adjustable legs? My floors are sloped.

woot! worked, thanks! in for 2.

thank you & repped

Thank you for this. Worked, in for two!

Read some reviews on that page. The quality of this shelf seems not good enough. So, not for me this time.

In for 4. Thanks!

What I did on BF..

Went to Homedepot... and matched the price so they beat by 10% =44$. - 10% Lowes coupon = 40$ each......

Particle boards, we purchased the black wire shelving for the same price, less heavy and very sturdy too. Wished I thought of going to HD to price match, but I like Lowes' better anyway.

Was in for 3, then read the reviews. So, now, only in for 1.

Thanks OP. Got 4 of these. These things are heavy; I had a very hard time loading and unloading them. So I suppose they are good stuff. With a little effort, I was able to fit all 4 in a sedan.


Edit: The weight was mainly because of the compressed wood. The metal rails seem pretty standard.

I bought some of the all metal shelving units seen here: text [lowes.com]. Very sturdy and no issues with the middle connection. Same price as these as well.

They also have Real Organized 74"H x 48"W x 18"D 5-Tier Black Wire Shelving Unit for $49.00

A rubber mallet is your friend. Every garage should have one :cool:

Yeah, dunno why Mod misquoted.

Nope. But the legs are the main supports and they only take up like 3x3 inches of space. So you could nail/screw some 2x4s into your garage foundation to take up the slack. Or just have the legs at different heights. Should work out :shrug:



Oh and yeah, please please please secure these shelves to a stud or two. It'll make them TONS safer in your garage.

Thanks, bought two and used the movers code for 10%

I have had one for a good year and I store paint cans and other miscellaneous objects. I've never had any issue with sagging. I bought 2 of these a few nights ago. It's a solid product imo.

in for one.

In for one. Thanks OP!

As an FYI, these are made in the USA which is getting rare these days...

that almost got me. My available depth is very limited. the OP is correct. the FP is not.

"Piece of trash" seems harsh. I have a smaller Gorilla shelf as well and this is stronger if that helps for reference. I'm using it to store boxes and bulk items from Costco trips and no bowed shelves yet.

Great deal, picked up 2. If the shelves start to sag, it's as simple as grabbing some plywood/flooring, cutting it in quarters, and popping them in. At this price, that's 10 minutes worth of work I'm willing to risk at some point in the future.

can someone tell me the dimensions of the box for this, unassembled? Will it fit in a passenger car? I ordered 3 for pickup. Need to know if I should take my truck or if I can take my car.

Its actually pretty small. I fit one quite easily in the back of my saab 9-3 with the seats folded down. I probably could have fit 3-4. Id say its 2 ft wide x 5ft long max. Only about 4-5 inches thick too.

FYI 5% back using Chase Freedom

77.98 from me now

Dead!

Yeah, confirmed, coming up as $77.98 while supplies last.

Deal at $49 is dead.

We bought 8 of these units earlier this year (though we may have the 1200lb rated units). FYI, if you're concerned about the shelves sagging (we were, because these went into an unconditioned garage in Atlanta humidity), just get some 2x3 lumber, cut it to a little under 24" lengths (long enough to span under the shelve front to back, with enough clearance at the edges to not interfere with the shelves sitting flush in the rails), and screw/glue two of them to the bottom of the shelves, spaced equally. 2x3 lumber is cheap, only adds a few bucks per shelving unit, and the shelves don't sag AT ALL. This is a cheaper and stronger option than replacing the shelving with plywood.

Thanks....Got 3 last night. ..:)

Really disappointed I didn't grab this in time. I had planned to purchase and go in this morning.

yesterday the website said the price was good til 11/29. Did anyone save the page? Maybe you can take the printout to the store and have them match eventhough it is not that price now.

From the Danvers store? I picked up something from there last night and noticed three of these on a cart behind customer service waiting for pick-up.

Nope...from the Woburn store....probably will pick it ut tomorow...;)

Take your truck for sure.

Box dimension is 48x24x ~6inch I wanna say... but they weigh a TON! Getting it into a bed will be a heck of a lot easier.

spend $10 more and get the set from costco. the shelves don't sag at all. a bit diff dimensions but I prefer not as deep so more room for car in garage.
