got the smaller one that was on sale from this seller (via WM or Amazon) a couple weeks ago, and it's the flimsiest wire shelf i have. the shelf clips are too small and pop off. using a rubber mallet to tap things level bent the wires.
there are better sales on better shelves as none of mine of any size have cost much different than these and none are anywhere as chincy.
Quick update:
These are cheap crap plain and simple. The size for the price is decent, but what you actually receive is not so decent at all. The two I ordered came yesterday and I assembled them last night. Not going over every little thing I had to deal with during assembly, but trust me when I tell you these are crap! Here are some pics to show what you really get for $100.00.

The ones from Home Depot and BJs are actually commercial grade and sometimes go on sale for $100-$120. You can tell which ones are good ones because they have bars every inch or less going front to back, not just side to side. The one posted only has 6 crossbars front and back. The only way to make these hold heavy items is to cut thin plywood that overlaps the edges of the frames somewhat (not a precut shelf liner that sits inside the edges of the shelves). These are fine if you're only putting paper towels/napkins/tissues (tbh some toilet paper cases might be too heavy) or boxes of empty take-out containers on it, otherwise you're going to have to reinforce it, especially the bottom shelf which should have some extremely heavy items on it to stop it from falling over.

No it's not like that at all. The problem is material thickness (or lack thereof) and just literally wavy shelves. Then it's plastic wedges and overall quality control. I'm 250 and I can stand on any end no problem, maybe not in the middle without bowing, but any "end". I currently have at least 200 worth of tools on one shelf and it's holding just fine. But yes, lining a shelf with plywood will always help to spread the load on these wire frame type shelves.
