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

Quote from ScarletWinter3085 :
I have two of these. The vertical support in the 4 corners is actually not one unit but two half's connected by a flimsy plastic piece. It seems strong when you look at it but the whole thing wobbles if you try to move the unit without anything stored on it even. When stuff is stored on it, it creates a massive fall risk during an earthquake or other such emergency. Think it's best to avoid and buy something more heavy duty at a slightly higher cost.
you may have put it together incorrectly. One of the shelves is supposed to be used as a connector between the two halves.

It says "holds 600 lbs when evenly distributed per shelve".

I have 4 of them in my garage with no complaints.

600 lbs total? Cause I'll need one that can hold at least 400lbs most likely the bottom one.
