I received this product for free for my honest review. This shelving system is quite sturdy and was fairly easy to assemble. I don't know that I'd put 2.5 tons on it like it says it is rated for, but it certainly seems like it would support whatever most people are likely to put on it. I would have given it five stars if it had adjustable feet to accommodate uneven floors--most floors in a basement or garage are cement and have a slight slope towards the middle and it would be nice if the feet would adjust to keep it level and against the wall at the top.
