I apologize for not knowing steel industry standards lmao. I'm nit sure why using sheet metal in a negative sense is applicable here then because these things are solid af. Not sure what commercially available heavier duty shelving the average consumer is gonna come by.

I have two of these, they are good. I paid $25 each for them. I would not pay $75 for them and am hard pressed to call this a "deal"

I have 2 of these and 1 more 18" depth model. Had them for about a year and a half now and no complaints. Very strong, very heavy duty. Yes you will want to keep them dry, the particle board will absorb moisture if you are not careful. If you intend to put it somewhere humid or where spills are likely, get the costco Whalen shelf of the same dimensions, but with melamine coated shelves. They're usually $95 or so at costco locations but not sure if they are seasonal or if they come and go. I don't see them on their site right now.

I paid 89 for 2 of these during Black Friday . It is not worth at this price.

This shelf is great if you're not gonna move the shelf ever even slide down just a bit , and you use it with totes . I would not pay over $60 for these . As I paid 44.50 each , yes they are great . I would not say the same at this price range .

Does anyone know of a quality brand with just straight black metal shelves ? Not the wood. Might be worth just painting them black I suppose

The 24 inch depth is nice because you can buy one sheet of plywood (when the particle board shelves fail) and replace them all by ripping with the same cut (at the store if needed).
i painted the particle board and it has held up well

I'm looking for something to store my lead elephant collection. Will these work? Also have quite a few cement hippos.
Checking in from my moon base. I have that exact use case up here and it works fine for that. Just don't leave them outside as it's tough to get the moon dust off of the particle board.

I've used shelves like these in the past. The structure is flimsy (just look at the sheet metal corner pieces) and the particle board shelves will be warped in a year. I recommend going up to something heavier duty
yeah, I'm calling bullshit. I'm helping my girlfriend's disabled father clean out the unheated, currently EXTREMELY COLD (below freezing) garage at the house he's lived in for over 30 years, and just found the front of boxes for the shelving that he kept tucked behind the shelves themselves and, lo and behold, it's this exact brand:

https://i.imgur.com/zE0oAXD.png

some of them are not well maintained, with liquids leaking onto them, and some have, what looks to be, mouse crap on them, but the shelves remain in great shape. considering the mouse crap, I will be tossing them and/or replacing the boards (somehow), but this is all to say that the shelves themselves are solid as hell.

on that note, maybe a dumb question, but if anyone knows of an easy/cheap/non-obvious way to replace these shelves: I'm all ears.

You're using the structure wrong if your board is compromised it compromise the whole integrity of the structure. A framed house without obs on the side is weak and will easily break with a push.

Quote from coltrane69 :
The corner pieces of these types of storage racks are 100% fabricated from sheet metal, I don't know what your definition of "heavy steel" is, but generally anything under 1/4" plate steel is considered to be "sheet metal". And I'd be shocked if the uprights of these Muscle racks were constructed with anything thicker than 20 gauge sheet metal. 20 gauge sheet metal is 1/5 the thickness of 1/4" steel or 1/20" thick. These racks are not constructed of "Heavy steel". They're just fine for their intended use, but they are definitely made from bent sheet metal and particle board, not "heavy steel".
the muscle rack stuff I have is pretty solid. I believe the uprights are actually 18 gauge. The way everything interlocks leaves it feeling pretty solid. They aren't like the cheaper ones that flex/sway a lot. also the particleboard shelves are thicker than the cheap stuff - it's still particleboard, but it's at least somewhat tolerant of normal use.
