Bin Warehouse Storage Systems DFAE2MBFBW0618 Box Storage System

I put together 2 of these. The first one took about 2 1/2+ hours to figure out the layout instructions and put it all together, and the 2nd one only a little over an hour after I had gotten the hang of it. The Instructions are just OK w/small black & white photos, the poles are all numbered, but the corner poles could be a little bit more clear about which end is up and down.On a difficulty scale, with 10 being the hardest, I'd say these are about a 6, mainly because of the large number of screws you have to put in (all pilot holes are pre-drilled).Two items you must have on hand are a white head rubber mallet to pound the rods into the holes, and a power drill w/a No #2 Phillips bit, or you'll never get it together. Cardboard "Bankers" File Boxes are sold separately. This file stand system is not meant to be free standing, pvc poles must be strapped to a wall stud or w/the supplied drywall anchors (all hardware is included).After getting them built, it was very sturdy and held full boxes of thick heavy legal sized folders in "Bankers" cardboard boxes. Much less expensive solution than metal cabinets, and especially good for "retired" files that aren't needed too often.Recommend: Would certainly buy again when I need them.

So handy having accessible art and music storage in bankers boxes. Directions clear with arrows on photos pointing to markings on tubing.

If you've stored a lot of items in banker boxes before, you know the struggle of top boxes crushing the ones below them over time, having to move all top boxes just to get to lower boxes, and easy water damage to foundational boxes on the floor. We decided to invest in these racks for easy access and to fix all the other issues that come with long term storage of items in banker boxes.These are great! Strong, sturdy (not wobbly), and really do resolve all the issues of stacking boxes on the ground. I would give 5 stars just for their real world application. However, they took a VERY LONG TIME to put together and it was NOT EASY to get all the screw joints aligned.. and there are MANY JUNCTIONS that you need to screw together. If you don't have a power tool, this will take you hours and you will be tired by the end of it. Other than that, the instructions were very practical and easy to follow with the included pictures. It's a brilliant design, but just know you are fastening pretty raw PVC piping to other PVC pipes with a bunch of screws in pre-marked positions. By my third build I got it done in one hour with power tools.

I purchased two and I was able to put them together by myself. Love the storage. These shelves are great!!

Great for storing your boxed files. Does require some assembly prowess for stability and safety reasons. Cart must be secure to a wall so that it does not tilt and fall.

If you’re up for the install, it’s a great shelf and great solution for storing and more easily accessing banker boxes. Sturdy and nice design once assembled, but the assembly complexity level is more advanced than “IKEA level”. Lots of pieces that need to fit together all at once.

I have banker boxes and I need to access them from time to time. This unit holds them quite well and is really sturdy once secured to wall after assembly. It is perfect for banker box storage and accessing them without the pain of moving boxes around to get to the one you need.

Although an excellent idea and materials were of good quality, these are a nightmare to assemble because 90% of the holes where tubes were supposed to easily slide through were too small. I can't recommend.
