Amazon Basics 3-Shelf Adjustable Heavy Duty Steel Wire Rack Storage Shelving Organizer for Kitchen, Garage, 23.2" L x 13.4" W x 30" H, Black

I may have an addiction to these 'Amazon Basics' shelving units, I just bought my 6th one! I started with the butcher's block/microwave cart unit and was thrilled with it. Then I discovered the tall 5-shelf unit and bought one. I liked that so much I bought 2 more of the tall ones. Then I bought this short 3-shelf unit on Prime Day and got so excited about it that I went back and ordered a second before the sale was over.So let's get the assembly "controversy" out of the way. I won't attempt detailed directions here, but I hope you'll trust me when I say these really are incredibly easy to assemble. And they're perfectly stable and sturdy once assembled. Any review that says these are crazy difficult, or "won't stay together" or that they "wobble" etc have all assembled them incorrectly. Please consider that I have bought SIX of these now, I'm a pro. I can assemble these small ones in about 8-10 minutes leisurely, and the tall 5-shelf ones in about 15 minutes each - and that includes time for me to ponder ideal shelf placement! That's at a relaxed pace and there is zero frustration. Now, I will admit that I was initially perplexed on my very first unit for a few minutes as I fumbled around with the black connectors trying to make sense of them. I too thought "this thing is junk" until I realized I was not realizing how they work. Once I understood the simplicity of it, the rest all flew together with ease and are actually fun to assemble. I could quite literally assemble these with my eyes closed at this point.Watch the videos which should help. But generally: the connectors come in 2 halves that fit together around the pole. Be sure to look for the arrow pointing up so you have them upright. Also look INSIDE for the little ridge lines, this is super helpful. Those lines line up with the single lines on the chrome pole. I actually place them just above the chrome pole line and slide them down until I hear/feel them click into place. The two halves fit together but with a slight GAP. Meaning that they do not close together entirely. They stay in place but will look slightly separated - this is normal! Do not try to force them to fit together tightly, they aren't intended to. When you push the shelf (lightly, there's no need to force it) down over the black connectors, it wedges them closed a bit more. This is by design so that the shelves aren't loose and popping up; they stay in place nicely.Also keep in mind that the black coin-like caps in the box are packing scrap and can be tossed out or repurposed but are not parts for the unit. Lastly, the edging on the shelf goes DOWN. They are NOT lips to hold things on the shelf. You might be able to make it work that way, but it's not meant to be that way. Just know that if you're having a hard time with any part of putting these together, you're doing it wrong. I can assure you, I live alone and have no one around to give me a hand, so I would never buy SIX of these units unless they were super easy to assemble, because I am not a very patient person.These are stable, strong, hold a ton of weight and are extremely versatile, which is why I love them so much. They go with just about any decor style. I have two of the tall units as pantry shelving and a third tall unit in my art studio. I came up with a creative way to use these small 3-shelf ones by putting a 6 foot x 18" piece of plywood over two of them (one at each end with a space in the center) which serves as a sideboard/counter and/or deskpace area in my rustic kitchen where I can roll out bread dough or sit down to pull up recipes on my laptop, etc with baking supplies on the shelves underneath. The leveling feet are handy too. My ONLY complaint is that the prices on these fluctuates dramatically, so I tend to wait and snag one when I see them on sale. I'm considering getting one for the bathroom (towels etc) and maybe even one for off-season clothes storage. They look so classy and nice and the storage and organization they offer is fantastic. These units are some of the best things I've ever purchased on Amazon actually.

So, I recently decided to tackle the chaos that is my garage and picked up the Amazon Basics 4-Shelf Steel Wire Storage Rack. Let me tell you, this thing is a game-changer for getting organized!First Impressions:When the box arrived, I was a bit intimidated by the idea of assembly, but it turns out, it’s super easy to put together. No tools needed, just a bit of patience and following the instructions. It’s adjustable, so you can set the shelves at whatever height works best for your stuff, which is pretty neat.Design and Quality:The rack is made of sturdy steel wire and feels solid once it's all set up. The black finish gives it a sleek look, so it doesn’t scream “utility shelf” even if you’re using it in a more visible spot like a laundry room or kitchen. It's not too big or too small—just the right size at 13.4 inches deep, 23.2 inches wide, and 48 inches tall.Functionality:This rack holds a surprising amount of stuff. I’ve loaded it up with everything from paint cans to gardening tools, and it handles the weight like a champ. The shelves are adjustable, which is a lifesaver for fitting odd-sized items. It’s perfect for organizing any space that needs a little TLC, whether it’s the garage, basement, or even a pantry.Value for Money:For the price, this storage rack is a steal. It’s sturdy, versatile, and easy to assemble, which checks all the boxes for me. I’ve seen similar racks for way more money, so I’m feeling pretty good about this purchase.Overall Thoughts:If you're looking to get organized without breaking the bank, the Amazon Basics 4-Shelf Steel Wire Storage Rack is a solid choice. It’s easy to set up, holds a ton of stuff, and looks good doing it. Whether you’re tidying up the garage or just need extra storage space, this rack is up to the task. Definitely worth checking out!

Materials are very sturdy Very easy to put together, a lot of counting some readjusting . The shorter ploles go in middle. You could easily hang hooks from top, industrial look to it, the functionality is perfect for my needs. Great size for smaller spaces. I'm rather impressed the price is pretty good.

I am very pleased with this shelving unit. It is sturdy, well-made, and fits perfectly in small spaces. The black powder-coated finish gives it a clean and classic appearance that blends well with various room styles. Assembly was straightforward and required no tools. I appreciate the adjustable feet, which help keep the unit level on uneven surfaces. The stackable design is a thoughtful feature, allowing for additional storage without taking up extra floor space. This shelf has been a practical and reliable addition to my home, and I would recommend it to others seeking a simple and effective storage solution.

Love it!! Super easy to put together and I’m very happy with the quality. It’s sturdy and you can unscrew the bottom of the pole if it doesn’t sit evenly, to level it. It’s perfect for my kitchen and getting the air fryer and kitchen aid off my counters. Or it can double as a baby jungle gym as seen in the picture. Getting ready to order a second one!

Good sturdy shelves, the side can easy get bent so be careful there. Assembly wasn’t too difficult, and no tools required, unless you choose to anchor it. Fit my little space beautifully.

Shelf was easy to put together and makes organizing our excess canned foods a breeze. The shelf appears to be good quality and fit exactly in the small space we had for it. It looks wonky though because the shelves do not evenly space out and are not overly adjustable so one shelf is really skinny compared to the others.
