That particleboard is going to sag in no time, especially if exposed to some humidity. I had one of these in my garage and it was horrible until I replaced the shelves with plywood.
I bought two of these just a couple of weeks ago (same price). Very pleased with them. I prefer this design over wire racks since it's difficult to put small items on wire racks.

The board is supported on all four sides by the metal ledges and so they should support decent amount of weight. Of course, I wouldn't test anywhere near the advertised limit. For casual home storage needs they should suffice very well. Just use common sense and you should be fine Smilie.

A couple of things of note -
โ€ข Having a mallet really helps. But don't pound the metal directly with the mallet. You might damage the mallet or bend the metal. Place a thick rag or something (I used a work glove) over the metal and then pound it.
โ€ข The company has a few SKU's with slight variations. Some of them do not come with couplers to couple top and lower portions. Luckily this SKU does. However this SKU does not come with plastic top and bottom ends, which some do.
โ€ข One of my units came with only 3 couplers instead of 4. Not sure if one was missed during packaging or it fell out during shipping (the package seemed slightly banged up). I called the company and they immediately sent me a set of 4. Arrived in 2 days. Not an ideal situation but good customer service.
24" fits bins better

Does anyone have any hacks to add doors to this? I want to put this in the garage but don't like seeing everything exposed on the rack. Would love to turn this into a cabinet.

Decent price for a steel shelf

I clicked on the link you provided. The shelves are particleboard. Appears to be the same item as posted by the OP.
Or did you mean to comment just on the price?

The ones from Costco are pretty legit. Had them for a few years and it's hard plastic or something similar in material. Spilled all kinds of shit on the shelves and no damage at all

I'd avoid these. I just bought a home that had 7 of these shelves in a climate controlled area for storing fabrics and they all have about 2-3 inches of sag in them.
