GLR040B02 Set of 2 Heavy Duty Shelving Units, Steel Shelving Unit, 5 Shelves, Screwless for Garage, Warehouse, Utility Room, Load Capacity 875 kg, 40 x 90 x 180 cm, Black

These are actually really good shelving units for the price and can handle a lot of weight on them thanks to how physics and the displacement of weight works. Yes, they are a bit fiddly to do. When fitting the shelving parts, I found it best to open the hole slightly wider (giggidy) with a screwdriver and to push the tabs so that they are slightly pointing inwards. You may have to guide the tabs into the right location, but once you have done the first few, it becomes easier. This comes with a pair of gloves as you will probably nick your fingers while doing it - that's just the nature of working with aluminium - but as long as you take your time you will be fine. You will probably swear a bit while doing this - I did - so send the kids out while you are doing it as they might tell you that your language is bad and teach you some new swear words! These are the same products that you'll pay up to £100 for, so enjoy a bargain.

my partner put these together and whilst he did have a nightmare putting all four together, he has little to no DIY experience. They are going to be suitable for heavy commercial use for sure, but are perfect for my garden shed. i would absolutely buy them again and think they are excellent value for the price I paid

Pretty sturdy, but an absolute nightmare to assemble. I am a very experienced DIYer, but found these a real slog to assemble on my own. Between the unsupported metal parts flapping about, the risk of pinching a finger and the extreme fiddliness of getting the metal tabs to slot into the right place, I really regret buying 6 of these! The first one has taken me over an hour to assemble, and a lot of the tabs are not slotted in correctly. The mdf shelves are very thin, and would not stand up to anything other than a dry room. They also have a really strong and strange smell, overwhelmingly fishy, like kippers. The entire ground floor, where I assembled the shelves, still smells of it the next day. That said, for the price, they are pretty sturdy once the final piece is slotted into place. They are a good size and will hold a lot of stuff, although I will definitely avoids anything too heavy. The edges are also nicely finished off, reducing the risk of nasty cuts. They also provide (very flimsy) gloves, which is a nice touch. All-in-all, decent for the price and I will be delighted to have the extra storage space, but I’m dreading having to build them.

Decent product for the price. Arrived quickly and well packaged. Does the job well for what it was intended (storage of paintings and boxes of canvas) Was a little concerned after ordering and then reading customer reviews regarding difficulties encountered in assembly but had no issues. Here's my experience 1. Read the instructions BEFORE starting and follow them 2. Sort through all the parts and separate so you know you have all the parts for both before starting 3. Wear the gloves provided,some of the edges are on the Sharp side 4. Don't worry about slotting everything in. Just locate the metal tabs and once you have everything located for that particular stage then press firmly or use a soft hammer. I don't have a soft hammer so I used a small piece of wood to protect the metal from a normal hammer. Finally after reading the reviews regarding mould I spent yesterday coating each shelf with some spare wood protection. Would recommend and buy again. Took about an hour per shelving unit but I stopped for a couple of tea breaks.

I was initially drawn to these SONGMICS 5-Tier Heavy-Duty Shelving Units because of the high ratings and the promise of easy assembly with no bolts, screws, or nuts needed. The idea of a hassle-free setup sounded perfect, so I went ahead and ordered several units. Unfortunately, my experience hasn't lived up to the promise, and I need to highlight some serious flaws. 🔨 Assembly Challenges Although the shelves are lightweight and relatively easy to move, assembling them turned out to be much more challenging than expected. The assembly is advertised as quick and bolt-free, but it’s anything but seamless. I highly recommend having a rubber hammer and a flat, thin screwdriver on hand, which you’ll need to push the metal lips into place. After assembling a few, I managed to get the hang of it, but it still took me about an hour for each unit—not exactly what I’d call "quick." 📦 Storage Capabilities Once fully assembled, the shelves do hold a decent amount of weight. Initially, they look flimsy and incapable of supporting heavy items, but they do stabilize once loaded. Just a heads-up: moving them while items are on the shelves could easily damage the frame, so make sure you place them where you want them before loading them up. 🌧️ MDF Shelves: A Serious Problem Now, here's the real problem—the shelves themselves. They are made from untreated MDF, and if you’re thinking of placing them anywhere other than a dry, indoor room, you should reconsider. I installed them in my summer shed, which is adequately ventilated, with no damp issues, but the MDF shelves started attracting moisture. The untreated MDF means they are highly susceptible to mould growth, and that’s precisely what happened. Despite keeping my shed well-ventilated, I noticed cold and dampness starting to form on the shelves during the winter months. I’ve had to remove everything, wipe the shelves down with bleach, and put everything back multiple times. Even after treating the shelves with yacht varnish—which took ages and required me to remove and then replace all items—the mould kept returning. 💸 Waste of Time and Money Between the cost of the shelving units, the yacht varnish, and the countless hours spent scrubbing mould and reassembling, this has been an incredibly frustrating and expensive ordeal. These shelves are by no means cheap, and having to go through all this hassle just to make them functional is simply unacceptable. They are clearly not fit for purpose if they can’t be used in a shed or garage, which is precisely where most people would need this kind of storage. ☠️ Health Hazard The worst part is the potential health hazard. Mould spores are dangerous, especially when airborne, and could easily lead to respiratory problems. This is a huge concern, especially since these units are supposed to provide safe and reliable storage. Instead, they’ve become a breeding ground for mould and fungus—hardly what anyone needs in their storage area. 🚫 Final Verdict I would strongly advise anyone considering these shelving units to look elsewhere. They might work fine during the summer months or in a perfectly controlled indoor environment, but if you’re planning to use them in a garage, shed, or any outbuilding, prepare for disappointment. Come winter, they’ll be worthless, covered in unsightly and dangerously spreading mould. Save yourself the hassle, the expense, and the health risk—find something better suited for the job.

Good value for money, eady to put together, made my shed very organised. Sturdy, and a lively size suitable for most outdoor buildings

I have tackled lots of flat pack self assembly from various suppliers. I have to say the construction of these shelf’s was very frustrating. The tabs on the end of each arm did not always slip into place and sometimes to numerous attempts to get them correctly slotted in. The instructions suggested wearing gloves, presumably to protect you from the metal causing cuts. The dexterity required to align the tabs excluded the use of tabs. But, after a lengthy and frustrating time to assemble the units, the final product is good and is fit for purpose. I suggest that the length of one of the tabs at the end of each strut is 1mm shorter than the other. This would allow each tab to be aligned separately. Also the tab on the end of the mid cross struts is not easy to bend using a screwdriver as suggested. David.

I’m extremely pleased with this SONGMICS set of two heavy-duty shelving units and would happily give them five stars. They have transformed my garage storage, providing plenty of space to organise tools, storage boxes, cleaning supplies, and other bulky items that were previously cluttering the floor. Assembly was much easier than I expected thanks to the screwless design. The instructions were clear, and the shelves slotted together securely without needing any special tools. Once assembled, both units felt very sturdy and stable. The adjustable shelf heights are a fantastic feature, making it easy to customise the layout to accommodate both small and large items. The shelves are designed to support heavy loads, making them ideal for garages, workshops, utility rooms, or general household storage. The build quality is excellent, with a strong steel frame and shelves that feel durable enough for everyday use. I also like the clean black finish, which gives them a smart, professional appearance rather than looking purely industrial. Overall, this is an excellent storage solution that combines strength, flexibility, and great value for money. The two shelving units provide plenty of storage capacity while helping keep everything neat and organised. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, heavy-duty shelving for their home, garage, workshop, or utility room. Five stars!

J'ai choisi de monter une étagère complète et de laisser la deuxième en demi pour faire un petit établi. J'ai réalisé le tout en moins d'une heure seul avec juste un petit maillet. A voir avec le temps.

Kanonbra hylla .en skickades med UPS tyvärr. Det tog dom nästan 1 månad att få hit d3n och en massa krångel. Beställ inget via UPS !!

BIEN CALIDAD PRECIO

Super

These are terrible quality - do not waste your money. Very unsturdy and the shelves went mouldy after a couple of months.
