3 years ago, I bought a couple of Seville Classics 4-shelf wire shelving systems, and reviewed them quite favorably. They have held up great since then, and I recently needed to order a couple of more.
The one downside at the time was that I could not find something similar with an extra shelf. You could typically buy extra shelves for these types of systems, but at the time I couldn’t find the exact ones from Seville Classics either.
Good news – since my review 3 years ago, Seville Classics has come out with a 5-shelf system that also includes both leveling feet and wheeled casters.
The weight capacity goes down when you use wheels, from 600 lbs per shelf with leveling feet, to 500 lbs total with casters, but that’s still plenty.
I love wire shelving systems because of their versatility, adjustability, strength, affordability, and quick assembly.
Half of the units I’m currently using have casters, the others are stationary.
Once the 2 units I ordered arrive, barring shipping damages or missing parts, I should have them both assembled, with shelves perfectly spaced to my needs, in about 30 minutes. Maybe a little longer, because it’ll be a lot easier to move them in parts, from where they’re delivered to where they’ll go. Each box weighs around 75-80 lbs.
I have used multiple sizes and styles of wire shelving systems before, but find myself preferring this 18″ x 48″ x 72″ sizing for workshop use. It’s large enough to hold lots of tools and storage bins, but not too large so as to be difficult to move around.
There’s a larger 24″ x 60″ shelf size, but I think that would be a little much for my needs.
With wire shelving, you often get your money’s worth.
With less expensive systems, you often get lighter duty plastic sleeves, which support the shelves, and lower weight capacity.
With more expensive systems, you get beefier plastic sleeves, sturdier shelves, and greater weight capacity. Industrial or commercial-grade systems have even greater weight capacities, many more size options, different mounting methods, and lots of accessories.
The Seville Classics units I previously purchased are the best consumer (or light duty commercial?) wire shelving products I have ever bought.
$125 can seem difficult to justify, when you can get similarly sized units for less, but I’ve found that other brands’ units aren’t built quick as sturdily, even if the weight rating is similar.
