SafeRacks Wall Shelving, 2-pack

First, these shelves are what they're sold to be- shelves. They're heavy and feel like good quality. The directions are where it's a little dicey. Installing the brackets are straight forward; set approx 32" apart per the directions, predrill 3 holes per bracket, into studs and use the bolts and washers to secure. Pretty easy. Now, my studs are a weird length apart from where I wanted to mount them, so I had to go into dry wall. I used drywall anchors- very sturdy ones and I don't plan on storing anything near the limit of the shelves. So far, so good. One viewer wrote about how sharp the actual shelves are and they're right. It just so happens I mounted these next to my backdoor in my garage and as you go down the stairs, you become about level with the shelf. The bottom shelf is mounted about eye level and I'm 5'11. They stick out quite a bit...more than I was expecting and I had to zip tie a towel to the corner in fear of someone smoking their face on it. The corners are sharp and each cross wire sticks out...not ideal at all. The directions are pretty bad. I'm a very mechanically inclined person, so it wasn't as much of a problem with me but you need to be careful how you install the shelves on the bracket, otherwise you could bend the bracket, like some people experienced. The shelves are a little odd in that sense. I also hate how the shelves don't secure into the brackets....at all. They just slide around. Also not ideal; you get about 2-3 inches of play in either side. The bracket that comes with it to secure the shelf to the wall does just that; secures it to the wall to protect it from slide back and forth....but that's not a problem because it sits in grooves on the bracket. The issue is sliding left-to-right. So, overall, I think these shelves are fine. I'm on the fence about whether or not they're worth the money. You're paying for a hefty product...not really a good designed product. My 3 stars is more about the poor directions for those who aren't mechanically inclined and sort of the way they sit in the bracket, etc.
