Poor Design ChristopherVery disappointed in the flimsy plastic collars. They don’t fit well and tend to slide around when you are putting together the shelves. Hopefully they hold up. If I realized what this was going to be, I would not have ordered. They do look decent once set up.2
AVOID AT ALL COSTSJeffI bought six each of the wider and narrower shelves. Total of 12 units needing assembly, with the second six stacking on top of the first six.
This thing is so POORLY constructed that it is laughable. I know this is IKEA and we are meant to expect crap, but this takes crap to a whole other level.
The problem is the black pieces that you are meant to snap onto the four columns and which are SUPPOSED to hold the shelves in place. They are made of very low quality plastic and they just aren't machined with the right tolerances. Some of them snap onto the pole as they have the right diameter. Others have a smaller diameter and won't fit all the way around the columns. Of the 24 pieces that each unit comes with, nine of them had diameters that were 2-3mm smaller than the others. So nothing fit. And, as a result, the shelves don't stay in place.
If you are going to use this kind of system, you need the manufacturing tolerances for each part to be consistent...these aren't.1
GREAT STORAGE/INSTRUCTIONS NOT CLEARBethFOR THE TALL UNIT YOU GET TWO SMALL ONES. DIRECTIONS DON'T SHOW HOW TO ATTATCH TOGETHER. ASSEMBLE EACH ONE SEPARTELY. DO NOT PUT THE FINISHING PLUGS ON THE BOTTOM UNIT. THE SCREW IN FEET OF THE TOP UNIT WILL FIT INTO THE OPEN POLES OF THE BOTTOM UNIT SECURING THE TWO UNITS TOGETHER. THIS IS UNCLEAR IN DIRECTIONS AND I SEE MANY REVIEWS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. 5
Great storage solution CarlaThese strong shelve units have doubled the storage capacity of my pantry area. They are sturdy and attractive.5
Garage shelvingAudreyI have this set up in my garage and it has allowed me to keep a clean garage. It is sturdy as it holds up my heavy tool box and other assorted items.5
Product Usage/Display Not As DescribedAdisakBought 2 of these under Article # 698.290.83 (1 section shelving unit, 36 1/4x14 1/8x71 1/4) but received 4 smaller units instead...4x of Article # 100.697.63. The product photos display in the catalog are not correct since the units are not made to be stacked into a single shelfing unit of 36 1/4x14 1/8x71 1/4 as described/measured. Even the assembly manual is not recommended to stack. Should disclose all required information on product usage/capability. 1
not happy they don't stack,Elinorthe end of the legs dont come apart so i can't stack them. I ordered two so I could stack and i can't 1
Great shelves for organizing my garageRebeccaI bought two of these shelving sets to organize the things that had been sitting on the floor in my small garage. They were easy to assemble and once assembled I found them to be sturdy. They are made well and you can adjust the shelving height according to your space needs.5
Easy to put together asLindaEasy to put together as well as very sturdy.5
Perfect for storage shelving!CherylGot my shelving for an awesome price, easy to put together by myself and great quality! Can’t go wrong with this shelving!5
Great shelvingSandraSolid and love the bamboo boards you can buy alongside with it. Very much would recommend this to anyone who wants to expand their pantry5
functional, sturdy enoughReadNo complaints. Description could be clearer, that it's just two of the three-shelf version. I suspect it'll end up difficult to change the height of the shelves after they've been in place a while with weight on them, that they'll end up pretty stuck—but if I broke one of the little pieces that holds a shelf in place I'm sure Ikea would give me a new one, as long as they keep making it (and making it the same way).4
once figured out how toKayonce figured out how to put together, clever . wall securing holder seems inadequate4
love itJackeasy to use5
price more than doubled.Michellewhen i bought the first one of these 2 years ago it was $50 for 2 half racks,/one of these tall racks.
why is the price more than doubled? Genuinely curious, as Its not even safety rated and does not state how much it can hold per shelf, ect. Great piece, but I need more and Seville has the exact same thing for half the price of ikea. sad but i will be ordering more of these from seville instead.3
