I bought this last time it was on Slickdeals. Inflation has increased the price, but still a great price and worth it imo. I saw it in store last night for $79.99. It's another $5 online, but they only deliver to a business address.

I have one of these in my garage and it's an absolute beast but think about what you'd probably store. If you want to store boxes of clothes or just some tools and stuff, I would recommend some sort of wire shelving with casters so you can move it around. They're lighter and easier to put together.
If you want to store like, generators, heavy equipment, building material or other heavy duty stuff then this is perfect. You could probably store a car on top of this thing.
Have one of these that I bought used, and it was missing a connector piece that's used when stacking the frame. Whalen doesn't offer a replacement that I could find, so I had to 3d print one. Link below. If you do this, make sure to print with 100% infill. You want this sucker to be solid
I saw this in store at Costco the other day. Looked very nice but did not have the most important spec on the box, which is what each shelf can hold in weight. Thankfully it's on the manufacturers page, and it's an impressive 650lbs per shelf. Link below

Bought 2 of these last time and are great for this price. Agree with comments is that if you aren't storing super heavy stuff, go for the Trinity 6-wire shelf on casters w/brakes. The chrome is on-sale for $99 in-store. https://www.costco.com/TRINITY%20...ue&nf=true
I also bought 2 of these and they are much easier to assemble solo. And also easier to change shelf height as needed. Buy this along with the clear storage bins

if you want a 48x24x72 board style shelf this is the one
i have 6 of these and 2 edsal muscle racks of the same size. They are incomparable. The Whalen is better in every way, better shelves, better thicker metal, folded steel with rounded edges, bottom and top caps to prevent floor damage and anything snagging at the top getting damaged. The Whalen shelf also works as a workbench if you only build it halfway up, while the muscle rack has higher corner posts that are razor sharp. And by god are the Whalen units a breeze to build compared to the muscle rack and knockoffs.

Frame is steel. Shelving is not.
Still durable as heck.

Saw them at a regular Costco store. Bought the wire rack by Trinity though, also 20 off

Will the yellow top bins fit in the trinity?
