This comes in a pkg of 8- 2x3 shelves. I made one long 12' shelf and that's where the problem started for me. I neglected to lay out the shelf on paper for proper spacing of brackets. If you are going to make a 2x12' single shelf, space the brackets 32" in the center of the studs. That will allow a 2" overhang on each end. I put brackets on 16" centers and had way too much overhang. I had to reconfigure it.

Are you kidding? These shelves are amazing quality and holds more weight than I thought. The garage looks more organized now and installation is very easy.

I decided to upgrade the "temporary" shelving I installed 5+ years ago. After reading the negative reviews, I was a little leary about ordering. I ordered one box of 4' shelving (2x48"x24") to place over my work bench. I figured if it wasn't what I was looking for in terms of quality and ease of installation, I could return it. Carrying the box from the front porch to the garage on the other side of the house told me that this was a heavy-duty product. Packaging is sturdy and well thoughtout. As I already knew where the studs were, I used neither the template nor the level. With the previous shelving I used a stud finder, a tape measure, and a 2' level. The previous shelving was "L" brackets and plywood, and due to the size of the brackets, the shelves were only 16" deep. The new shelving gives me 50% more storage space and I feel adds value to the home. I used the brackets as a template to determine where to drill the holes. Instead of using a box or open-end wrench, I used a ratchet, short extension, and 1/2" socket. Much quicker. I was so satisfied with the first two shelves that I ordered three more boxes and installed two 12' runs down one side of my garage. Those I installed yesterday. I have encountered only two issues. First, of 16 shelf units, one has a slightly (and I mean slightly) bent "wire". I probably could have bent it back but since it does not effect the functionality of the shelf, I left it alone. If you don't know it's there, you wouldn't notice it. Of the 48 screws, three were a tad too large for for the 1/2" socket and requred a 13mm socket which I didn't have. I did have, however, a 13mm box end wrench that worked just fine. Whether or not the brackets are square hasn't been an issue. One or two may have been off, but again, functionality and appearance are not effected. If you are any kind of DIY person, you should have no problems with installation. I'm 69 years old and did all of this by myself in just a few hours. Today I ordered two more boxes to replace shelving on the other side of the garage. I recommend this product highly.

These are quality shelves. They look great and are very sturdy. They're easy to install. Some people complain about the velcro straps, but they seem fine to me.

Here's the major problem. You can't install the 3' sections next to each other. They pictures show two 3 foot sections next to each other, but it's not possible. Studs are normally spaced 16". The distance between the 2 outermost studs of 4 consecutive studs is 48". The total shelving width is 72". There's way too much overhang on the outside. You need skip a stud which leaves a gap between the shelves. They should have made these shelves each 32" wide, not 36", the knuckleheads.
I had to buy a separate shelf just for the extra mounting bracket. Very expensive and wasteful :-(

I contacted their customer service and the service was excellent.

We moved into a home and the garage was so small and bought these shelves to help with storage. They are fantastic. We purchased the 6 ft and 4 ft shelves. Amazing. So sturdy and hold a lot. I am going to order more. They shipped so fast too.
