Decent shelving, don't know about the price.
Got 2 of the chrome, without casters, for $52@ last summer.

Depends on your needs, but this isnt that good of a deal.

I've bought a 24"x14"x60" shelf (600 lb/shelf capacity) w/out casters for $50. I also bought a 48"x16"x72" shelf (600 lb/shelf capacity) w/out casters for $65.

Both of those were within the past month. So depending on how much you value casters, which you also have to keep in mind will effectively reduce the weight/shelf capacity (I assume for safety reasons), I'd look for something else.

Casters make a huge difference so not comparable to fixed units. It's like comparing a pickup truck to a sedan. Anyway, I have this Amazon Basics unit and paid slightly less last year on sale but with inflation this is not bad a price.

I've been interested in more shelves since I just bought my first set so clicked through...this is the exact unit I bought within the last 6 months for $50 w/o wheels. That version is listed at $67 now. Take that as you will.

Last night I actually found a 76" 5-Teir wire shelf with wheels at Sams Club for $55 https://www.samsclub.com/p/sevill.../P03013444

HSS 6-Shelf Wire Shelf Unit, 23.2"W x 13.4"D x 59"H , Chrome, 1500 lb Capacity https://www.walmart.com/ip/328826753

Hyper Tough Heavy Duty 5 Tier Wire Shelf, Black, 3000 lb Capacity https://www.walmart.com/ip/256423845

Also, the 24" shelf should be 250 lb/shelf capacity and NOT 600 lb/shelf as I said earlier. Sorry for the mistake.

this is a fairly decent deal as the stand itself w/o the better wheels is around $50 and the better wheels are $20 themself. note that the wheels are not just those cheapo caster wheels like on the cheapo office chairs.

Paid a little less than $60 on last prime day. Both shelves and wheels are durable.

Agreed. Costco/BJ's has baker's racks for on the order of $120; I've bought several and only know the price off the top of my head because I got 2 more just 2 weeks ago. Those units are generally 48"W, 72" tall (depending if you use the casters or not) and 18" deep with 6 shelves, so 36 sq ft of storage (not including the bottom/floor) ~ $3.33/sq ft. This deal is about $4.87/sq ft

6 shelves is a bit many IMHO, unless you have a lot of short things to store, so if you have the space you can get 2+ units and just distribute the shelves between them; e.g. use 2 sets to make what's effectively a triple wide shelf with 4 shelves each section.

Also, while I am sure it's not intended this way, I've interchanged the pieces between the BJ's and Costco versions and they work together (most baker's racks are the same basic design).

Can anyone here help me? I have a closet that is large but the shelves are very shallow. No carpenter would help me expand the shelves. I bought the version of this without casters and it fits nicely, EXCEPT for the molding at the bottom of the closet. In fact I can fit two of these shelves deep!

I'm looking for either (a) a good shelving solution that's not this shelf or something like it, or (b) an easy way to hoist this up over the molding, but I don't have a saw and I'd prefer not to bang up the molding.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

How tall is the molding? Amazon sells bid risers. Anywhere from 2" to 5". My advice is to also strap the shelving to the wall with a furniture strap.

Here is a great deal on a large, heavy duty wire shelving unit that can be decided into 2 separate units. Comes with 4 casters and 4 feet.

Thanks! That's a great idea. Since the risers are like truncated pyramids, their main use will be to support something that goes over the molding so that the shelving doesn't damage it (because the shelving feet will be over the molding, not the risers). Do you have any elegant ideas for that piece, or should it just be like a little board or something?

Also, looking at these bed risers, I think I may want to bring myself into the current era. My current bed is on cinder blocks and that makes for great storage, but it also makes the bed so high that I have to use a step stool to get into bed! If I can find risers of the right size, I'll have most of the storage, but an easier time getting into bed, and no huge blocks to stub my toes on.
