Works as I expected. My rating of 3 instead of 4 stars is because the production quality of the fitters (black pieces that are supposed to go all around the metal legs and clasp together to form the brace which the shelf sits on top of ) -- don't fully meet so can't completely clasp solidly to hold shelf in place, therefore my shelf moves if too much weight put on top. It was an exercise event to get the shelves and materials out of the box that there is no way to repackage and return.  The shelf unit works as I wanted it to inside my pantry, but if someone was buying this with the intent of putting heavy cans or items on it I'm not sure It will hold as expected at the shelf height level you want.
