The Sam's club one is actually a bit larger. Seems like an overall better deal
I got the 48wide x 24deep ones two yrs ago for the same price. I am kicking myself not getting 2 more.

Quote from Manlet :
Edsal? Or MuscleRack? Or does Edsal make MuscleRack? I just looked up the recall, but it seems to mention only Edsal. I purchased some MuscleRack ones awhile ago and had issues with the shelves sagging.

Edit - Nevermind, Edsal does make Muscle Rack, will contact them, thanks for the info. Hopefully I can still get something since it's been over a year since the recall.

The shelves on these are particleboard, and they will sag over time.

If you are not storing something heavy, this one [costco.com] from Costco could be a space saver for you. Good for 1,200 lb as a 12 bins system. So around 100 lb per bins.


Costco [costco.com] carries the 77" x 24" x 72" for $300 online (I think $280 in store), but it goes on sales for around $250 in store from time to time.

Thanks for sharing, any chance you remember the in-club price?
Very confident that my instore price is $240; it's been that price since January when I bought 4. Both my local stores (CT) sell it at that price

599085 was the SKU I have, these are Edsal not Whalen.

The great thing about these units is that you can take multiple units and extend them - e.g. 2 units with 4 shelves/ea you can steal 1 shelf from each kit, put the 2 kits side by side and span the gap with the other shelves. I did this in my garage and basement to extend my units and have more sq ft shelving space.

Not only that, they chip and break very easily. I bought two of these last year at the same price and was disappointed in the shelving but overall it isn't a bad rack. I am expecting to replace the shelves eventually with OSB or plywood.

Just built my second one of these from the last time this was a deal a month or so ago. Decent, but not as nice as some of the heavier units. I built mine up as two short racks, it would be better if they had 6 shelves vs. 5.

Bought these last time they were on sale. I split them in to two shorter shelfs and added a bunch to my attic to get rid of basement clutter. Great purchase!

They are and will, but those with a black coating are better than the raw wood ones. In climate controlled areas like inside a house, they are decent.
===========
In the shop, we have replaced every shelf with 3/4" marine plywood because that is what we have a lot of. 1/2" OSB or plywood would be fine. If you are going to load these to even half rated capacity, you will need to beef them up with a 2 x 4 flat inside the front and even the back lip of shelf that otherwise will bow out.

That Sam's deal [samsclub.com] for 48" x 18" x 86" and six shelves for $59 is the better deal.... I need to go back and Rep that poster... That is the deal that needs posted.

I have 8 of these now for over 7 yrs, very happy. The particle board shelves are holding up, easily replaced with plywood if they go bad

You can claim the recall on all of them and they will pay you back. I got a huge check from them

I can't imagine putting 3600lbs on the Sam's, let alone 4,000lb on the OP.... That is up there with pallet racking and even half of that, you better have it solidly anchored to wall.

Got the Sam's club one today, I can see why there are so many poor reviews. You can't put it together alone without clamps or zip ties, the braces for the shelves don't actually lock into the legs, so they wobble like hell until the whole thing is put together and there's force holding it together/down. Definitely not the safest or easiest to work with, but it gets the job done I guess.

I put together the muscle rack shelves yesterday. It took less than 30minutes to put together 2 shelves and was very easy.
