Easy-to-Assemble, Customizable Shelving System
ShelfLinks allow you to build strong, custom-sized shelves by just adding 2x4 lumber (not included). Construct a great-looking entertainment center on the cheap or quickly put up shelving in your dorm room or garage. Anywhere you need a custom shelving solution, ShelfLinks make it happen in a fast, affordable way and provide a great alternative to flimsy, one-size-only plastic and metal shelving units.
Featuring easy-to-follow assembly instructions, ShelfLinks are as simple to put together as building blocks. First, cut your 2x4s to the length you choose. Next, attach four 2x4s to the top of the ShelfLinks to make your storage surface(s). You then insert four more 2x4s through the patented apertures to make the legs of your shelf unit. Secure all with the included screws. It's that simple! The only tools required are a powered screwdriver and saw. And you won't have to worry about miters or angles--only straight, 90-degree cuts are required.
Strong, Durable Construction Holds up to 1,000 Pounds
ShelfLinks are built to last. They're constructed of heavy-gauge structural resin--once joined with 2x4s, each shelf can support spans up to 8.0 feet (2.4 meters) and can hold up to 1,000 pounds (400 kilograms). Finished shelf depth is 16 inches (40 centimeters)--plenty of room to safely house a host of items, from school books and DVD collections to tools and construction materials.
This kit is backed by a lifetime warranty.

1. Building and assembling the shelf units required two people. My recommendation unless your very strong don't attempt by yourself to assemble the shelf units due to the weight of the 2X4 lumber.
2. Ensure all materials are in the box when you receive your shipment. Our had all materials and screws. Return if missing parts.
3. Use the following items to help ensure level storage - Table saw or Miter saw to make your lumber cuts. We used a miter saw.
4. Use a good quality multi-speed drill using an extension bit to drive in the screws with the right size Phillips head bit.
5. Do some planning before building and assembling your project. Example: our basement is 8' 6". In order to use the top shelf, we cut the vertical 2X4 lumber at the 5'. This allowed for each shelf to hold 2' 6" between each shelf and our first floor joist.
7. Depending on the weight of the items to be placed on each shelf, please use on 2X4 by 8' and not attempt to use 2X4 by 10' or 2X4 by12' lumber.
8. Although the instruction do not state this item, the second shelf slides down the vertical 2x4 post. Only cut needed on the vertical posts are to size the top shelf space to fit your space where the unit will fit.
7. I would recommend on purchasing on prime 2x4 lumber from Home Depot or Lowes (my came from Lowes) to ensure that lumber is straight and not too many defects.
Pros: As far as what you are getting, the product is not coming up short at all. It is well built even comes with the screws. I do like the fact that you can make it into many configurations. It does look good when you are finished and it does hold a lot of weight.
Cons: I never really put much thought into the purchase until I started gathering materials and trying to assemble the shelf. First off, you will need to buy the straightest 2x4's you can so that the thing stands up straight. Before you buy the lumber, you are already $22 in. To make a 7ft tall shelf that is 5 ft wide, you are going to need 4 8ft 2x4's and 12 10ft 2x4's. This going to mean you are now in about $78 before you even start. You can buy a steel heavy duty tool free shelf for a little more than that and you only need a hammer to assemble and no boards to cut. Also the shelf is only 4 2x4's deep with a little bit of space in between - that is not very deep for things like miter saws.
Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and love the sturdiness. I am disappointed that it ends up costing you as much as a heavy shelf from Sam's Club and requires more effort to assemble. If customization is what you are after, this is well worth it. If you are wanting a basic heavy duty shelf, consider everything - all-in cost, assembly time, and depth.
My original plan was to build a second unit directly in front of this one to double the shelf depth from 16 to 32 inches. I've yet to fully load it up with weight, but after seeing how strong this shelf is by itself that doesn't seem necessary. Instead I'll just build a second one along side it for a full 16 feet of 8ft high shelving.
Clearly you have to take some time and plan everything out first, especially if you're building large units that sort of need to be assembled in place. In my case I needed to lay everything on its side while I slid the shelves onto the vertical supports, then raise up the entire unit, and then lift and screw in each shelf at the desired height. I realized that I also needed to add the mid pieces to the bottom shelf and screw that one in completely before lifting the unit up, otherwise I would never be able to get under there to do that. Pay attention to where you will need to access for screwing in the pieces and plan ahead, especially if you're positioning these into a tight space.
It definitely would help to have a second pair of hands, but I did it myself and it was ok. I also didn't have any issue with the screws.
This is a great system that allows you to build shelves to fit whatever you need.
