SONGMICS 5-Tier Heavy-Duty Shelving Units, Set of 2, Boltless Assembly

Positives These shelving are strong but light You can put the height and the space of the shelves where you want Comes with gloves and wall plug and screws fairly easy to put together Good vaule i got two for 36 pounds Carrys loads of weight !! Negatives only it's time consuming putting together i did it by myself Tips Make sure you have a small flathead scewdriver with you to open the spaces in the shelves brackets and get someone to help you will speed up construction Also i put some hot glue in the middle of shelves brackets to stop them coming apart when pick up very good shelves for the money i might buy some more for my shed

The box was very heavy and all well packed. I did both on my own and the first one took me hours as had no-one to help support the lower half when assemblying which really tested my patience but once that was done the upper half didnt take as long. The second one was a lot easier as learnt lessons from the first, both were a bit wobbly when the top half was added so used cable ties were the two joined to help support which had done the trick - I hope! Adding the shelves as you go along helps with stability - you can easily remove if you need to. They look good and have adjustable height shelves but not sure I would want to take apart and put together again but having said that that I am very pleased and cant wait to organise my garage as it will hold 6-8 80ltr boxes so great storage. I would buy again.

Simple to put together, seem really sturdy and pretty much exactly as you would expect. The MDF sheets for the shelves is a bit on the thin side (5/6mm maybe)...but you get what you pay for. If you wanted to make them stronger this could be replaced with better timber cut to size but it is supported in the centre so I don't plan to replace it right away, maybe in future if it sags at all. All in all really good, will definitely buy again if I need more shelving.

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.

Initially I was disheartened especially when constructing it as it is a pain to assemble. However it is very sturdy and great for the price.

Love these to tidy up the garage, I own 4, once you've set one up, they're relatively easy to setup, great for organising, using for books, shoes, motorbike gear, camping, tools, all sorts and keeps things easily accessible.

The design looks simple enough, but unfortunately the quality is poor. The slots for the metal tabs are too small and badly made, so the tabs are very difficult to insert and keep bending during assembly. As a result, the shelving unit doesn’t feel particularly stable once assembled. I understand that this is a budget product, but in this case I would definitely recommend spending a little more on something better made

Brilliant shelving racks that were pretty easy to put together, might be fiddly if you aren’t used to a bit of DIY. Shelves can be adjusted to whatever height you wish. Feel flimsy when putting together, but sturdy when fixed. Not overly heavy so can be moved around.

fait le boulot, comme il faut. franchement pour le prix, c'est excellent. relativement facile à monter ensuite plus rien à faire juste à en profiter

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 !!
