I have had this product, along with the 48"W x 16"D x 72"H version, for over a year now. I have them in an unfinished room in my basement, and use for storage of household items, emergency supplies, and non-perishable food items. (Note, in the picture, the 6247BL is in the yellow box, the other one is same make, but wider and shallower).Once assembled, these things do exactly what they are supposed to do. It wasn't the easiest thing to assemble, but then again, I am not very good at assembling things (I am on the fair-to-poor range of assembly skills spectrum). The small pieces that hold the posts together don't always connect very easily - if you have a rubber hammer, it won't be much of an issue. The shelves don't fit perfectly, in fact I had some of them chip a little when fitting it in, but this is not affecting structural integrity, and the cosmetic damage is very minor.I will say to clean up any water/moisture on the shelves if it occurs, otherwise it can stain.I have not tested the full weight as claimed in product specifications per shelf, however, I have stored car batteries, boxes of books and papers, 4-gallon water jugs, and lots of other heavy things, and haven't had any issues. No bending, nothing ever broke, it holds as promised. I feel I can rely on these units for medium-duty storage.I actually damaged a part during my first assembly attempt. Contacted Safco, asking to purchase the replacement part. They did not have the part available separately, but instead sent me a whole new unit - a different model and materials, but same dimensions - free of charge. Eventually, I was able to fix my botched assembly (with lots of WD-40) and put the original unit together, but I am saying this just to point out that customer service is good, in my experience.Overall, I am quite happy with the purchase, for the price, after 13 months of use.
