“I was inspired by classic industrial furniture typically used in workshops during the 50’s, as well as Meccano, to create the design,“ Lina says. “The idea was to create these beautiful storage units that have double the weight carrying capacity of any other shelves we were making at the time.” Engineer Philip Nedergaard made sure that the design held true to the heavy-duty ambition. “We built some of what we call ‘worst-case scenarios’ by loading the shelves high with concrete bags to really test that the shelves could safely hold almost anything you would want to keep in a garage,“ he says.

Reviews
Despite all negative reviewsNorikoEasy to assemble, if it's done correctly it comes out very steady, great for the price!
Flimsy at best.KameronThis storage system isn't really well thought out. When not attached to a wall, it can shift very easily. The cross brace in the back might as well not even be included because it doesn't hold anything together, just sags. It would be so easy to slot the ends and make it adjustable to fit the shelving a little better. The thin aluminum also causes problems during construction when using force, as it shears easily and contorts if you even look at it wrong. I would definitely recommend making this item out of a more durable material.
Love itAnonymousWe save money and get affordable furniture and organizers
Great when you build them right!Anonymous reviewerEasy to build however, you need to use the cross braces and they need to be tightened all of the way. I have four, I was worried that they wouldn't be as sturdy as the larger two I have but they have proven just as sturdy with the cross braces. Loose or no cross braces and it is extremely flimsy as other reviewers have noted.
Incredibly unstableAnonymousAlthough I love the depth of this shelf, it is incredibly unstable! Im unable to drill into the wall behind it to secure it to the wall, so it stands like a noodle. Every time something on it shifts or is placed on the top it leans over
Not worth money!Anonymous reviewerNot worth the money! Very flimsy! It will not hold some of my craft supplies. Very disappointed!!

Story
The strongest storage we’ve made so far
Does your garage sometimes feel like a lost civilization? Pyramids of paint cans grouped around the car, sports equipment you can’t remember even using and forgotten hobbies in boxes stacked high. IKEA product developer Lina Ringefelt wanted to help out. The outcome: the heavy-duty BROR storage system.
Lina and her team researched peoples’ garage needs and found that there’s an interest in everything from full-on hobby rooms, to a place to pot plants and work on cars, as well as storage for everything from heavy power tools to seasonal equipment. Many people also want lockable, closed and open storage that could hold very heavy loads.
Creating very strong storage
Combining good looks and practicality
The result is an adjustable series of shelving units with closed and open storage, including a trolley that serves as a movable shelf and workstation. But perhaps the series biggest calling card is its combination of looks and function. BROR could definitely be used in the home too.
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Quality
A real tough one
BROR storage system can withstand a lot. The widest and deepest shelves actually hold 285 lbs. and the smallest shelves can hold 154 lbs. This means that you can store both tires and heavy flower pots without problems. We know this since we tested the storage system by filling the shelves with concrete bags – all to ensure that they can safely hold almost anything you can imagine storing, regardless if the surroundings are tropically moist or dry and freezing cold.
