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 -
• 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.
• 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.
• 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

Not a bad price, if you're near a Sam's club I picked up one of these and they are ok, they have a few different models;

Did you just buy sheets
of plywood and cut them to size?

Agreed I ended up switching all ours to Edsel wire shelving. Costs more but doesn't sag

The price went up to $125 when I logged in. I ended up logging out, adding it back to my cart, and logging in during checkout to get it for $70.
