Black wire 4-shelf shelving unit
I had difficulty assembling this unit. When I contacted the Help number they told me the unit was discontinued ten years ago so they can't help. But I found a great video on YouTube that explained how to build it. It is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1y35A2lAQ8 . I was also disappointed that it only had four shelves.

Great rack hard to assemble
This shelving rack is high quality but a pain to assemble. The instructions were clear but the brackets that keep the shelve from sliding don’t lock on the rods so they kept popping off and sliding.

Exactly what I was looking for
We have very similar shelves but the vendor who originally carried them no longer sells it. This was able to seamlessly fit in with the rest of our storage.

A great bunk for small children
I am in charge of watching over many small children.

Shelf unit easy to assemble and sturdy
I found the shelving unit fairly easy to assemble and sturdy. The stickers are a afixed a little too well making it difficult to remove them. Otherwise these are a very good value.

The pieces did not stay snapped together.
They were too small to snap and stay together. The shelf would not stay put. Returned

Not sturdy
It was stated that it can hold 200 pounds per shelf but we added maybe 100 pounds per shelf and its not sturdy at all.
