MonsterRax 18x48 White Garage Wall Shelf 2-Pack, 500lb, Hammertone

These are great shelves—well made, solid, easy to assemble, and look great. I believe they are identical to the ones sold under the SafeRacks label. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to increase their garage storage. I use them to store my scrap wood and drywall from various DIY projects.

Easy to install and very sturdy construction. Will buy again when needed.

Wow! These shelves are tough! I ordered the 24"X48" 4-pack for medium duty use in my workshop and was surprised with how strong they are built. My workshop is unfinished so the supports were anchored into 2x6 studs. Anchoring with three bolts was way overkill so I left out the middle one. It is still strong enough to support 200+ lbs per shelf. I had no problem with lag screw clearance. The screws were hard to drive even with pre-drilling the 3/8" holes. I had to use a 1/2" impact driver but the tiny 9mm head required using a 1/4" non-impact reducer. Not a recommended combination but it worked fine.

Just like Monster Racks hanging celling storage system, these racks seem to be made extremely strong and quality supplied bolts/washers for the install. I also liked the extra wire clamp to put on the center stud (16" studs go: bracket, wire clamp, and bracket); really nice inclusion and put this way over the top for me. This ensures that the wire shelve won't accidently come off; I still added zip ties but I like the extra security and ensure the shelf doesn't slide left/right. I won't load it to 250# per shelf, but it seems every secure.

These shelves are really strong if you have a way to install the lag bolts that come with them. They are large and hold firm. I had lighter duty needs and used smaller bolts so I would expect the weight limit to be reduced significantly. These shelves have similar materials and construction to many closet organizer sets. The wire shelves are easy to mount and you can easily see what is stored on them.

20220407: I've installed two of these now. Both racks are solid, sturdy, but each had a small issue. The first, the support was bent a little so it would not line up square with the shelf rack. Some velcro fixed that easily enough. The second shelf, the shelf rack itself was bent, so it droops a bit on the side. I can only guess that maybe something happened to it in shipping. Shipping container: the box the rack comes in is pretty thin, and there is nothing inside to protect the rack, which is probably why the pieces were bent. Construction: the wire racks are heavy guage metal and welded where the wires cross. The back is double-wired, and the front is quadruple-wired. The rack is _very_ sturdy. The brackets are stamped and enameled, good, heavy pieces of metal. Installation: 3 lag screws per bracket. Works best with some pilot holes before putting the lag screws in. Install the brackets on studs. There are hangers that come with the rack. The hangers only work properly if used on the front of the rack, so leave those for last. After installing the brackets, the wire rack fits onto the front slots at the tips of the brackets, then rotates down to cuts for the rack. Snap in past the lag screw heads and the rack is installed. The rack does rattle a bit. The manufacturer gives a small bracket to keep the rack in place, but that does not work well, as it is screwed into the drywall. What works very nicely is some velcro straps on one of the brackets, and some hot-melt glue at the points where the rack meets the brackets. That is six spots. The glue hardens and the rack is completely stable and quiet. No noise, no rattling. Overall impression: sturdy racks. Strong. They hold at least 200 pounds, and my son was doing pull-ups on one, so no issues with weight. I'm quite happy with the product, strong, stable, sturdy. Good size, easy to install.

These are great shelves and very heavy duty for the price! No problems, easy installation, and good hardware included. We bought these after other shelves that were already installed in our garage collapsed off the wall and these will no doubt not repeat that! They are very sturdy, very good quality, and no problems leveling one shelf to the next to make a continuing run. We have replaced all of our old shelving with these and would recommend them to anyone! Size is true also and they look nice. Very happy with this purchase.

Great product, very sturdy!
