Score: 78/100Rankings
The Edsal Heavy Duty Garage Shelf is a robust, 5-level steel shelving unit designed for high-capacity storage in garages and offices. Its standout feature is the massive 800 lbs per-shelf capacity, though the particle board shelves may sag under uneven loads. It is best suited for homeowners needing to store heavy tools, bins, or bulk items.
The Sterilite 6-Pack 4 Shelf Unit is a durable, tool-free assembly plastic shelving system designed for heavy-duty storage in residential spaces. Its rust-proof construction and high per-shelf capacity make it ideal for damp areas like garages and basements. However, the narrow depth and potential for frame flexing under heavy loads are notable trade-offs.
