> 24 hourEasy installation, with the simple included instructions and most of the hardware. Plenty of hardware for mounting to wood studs is provided, but for this masonry install, I (following Tapcon guidance) predrilled the blocks, then used 1/4x2-3/4 Tapcon concrete anchors. The longest part of the installation was moving and organizing my lumber to the rack. The rack had been loaded with over a hundred pounds of lumber and siding for over a week and has not budged. I now have a happy spouse with wood safely stored out of the way.

> 24 hourSimple and easy install. Very strong and sturdy. Not a single issue. The orange support legs are 3 longer than a set I bought years ago and are on another wall in my shop. I would buy these again.

> 24 hourThese racks are really nice and easy to install. I hung these in my Dads shop to get some lumber off the floor and help him organize things a bit. I made sure they were centered on studs and they were quick and easy to install. I tried to maintain the weight limit as closely as I could, but I ended up having a set overloaded some but the shelf rail didn’t sag at all. I will be buying more for my own use. All holes lined up perfectly for the pins that hold the shelf rails. No problems whatsoever!

> 24 hour(-) The first two lag bolts I tried snapped off (broke). Both bolts broke at the same spot -- where the threads start. I pre-drilled the holes, so that wasnt the problem. I switched to using my own lag bolts and there were no more issues. The hardware provide with the racks is poor quality. (+) The design is generally good; easy to install and adjust. The quality of the racks is pretty good. Ill be curious to see how the finish holds up over time. They feel strong enough for most uses. Good for trim and smaller dimensional lumber. (-) Im puzzled by one design feature. The top and bottom rack each have two holes -- for adjusting height. The top rack only fits on the highest setting because the mounting bolt prevents use of the lower holes. The bottom rack only fits on the higher setting. If you try to use the lower setting, the rack arm drops below the mounting bracket. Very strange that they would provide the additional adjustments when two cant be used. The only explanation I can think of is that they wanted a symmetrical bracket, where theres no top or bottom.

> 24 hourOverall this would have been very good if not for some quality control issues. 1. The holes in several of the pins were not drilled all the way through. 2. One of the arm brackets was not welded on straight and could not be installed. I was able to drill the pins pretty easily with a drill press. The crooked bracket on one of the arms was a bigger problem. I could not even get the pin through the hole. I used a rat tail file to open up the holes until I was able to get the pin in and the arm was sitting straight. I had to open up the holes a bit on another arm also because it was sitting a bit high relative to the other arms. It is critical to have the arms line up across all 4 racks if you dont want to have warped boards. In the end, I was able to make it work but I had to put in extra work to make it useable.

> 24 hourEasy to install and flexible with easy height adjustments. Strong enough to hold more wood than I have. Happy!

> 24 hourThis was simple to install, but you need to be certain that you find the center of the studs. Its easy to miss them or hit just the edge of the stud, so take the time to be sure youve centered the supports on studs. The other thing is that the quality control needs some work. The support and braces were fine. The quality issues are with the other parts (pins, screws, etc). In my case one of the steel dowels was missing a hole for the pin at the end. (I saw similar comments on line from other customers regarding parts.) It only took a short trip to the local hardware store to get a new dowel and pin, but that round trip was 45 minutes that I could have used for some other project. Quick summary: good product, performs as expected, quality control on parts needs to be better. If I had a need for more shelving I would likely buy this product again.

> 24 hourOnly had these maybe a couple of months but they holding up a lot of lumber. As others have mentioned, use heavier lag screws; not the screws included with these

> 24 hourAs many other reviews have said, get yourself some better lag bolts but other then that they are great. I’ve had stacks of wood all over my shop for years and these freed up so much more room for all sorts of activities. Like putting in bunk beds. If you can dodge a wrench you can put these up. Even got metal and posting out of the way. Worth every dime!
