Scrap metal,
November 4, 2009

"I had to check the driveway for a spaceship after seeing the directions. When my wife and I finally put the rack together by braille, she wanted to know how much I paid for it. I have now had this product for over a year and I have one question. Can it go in the recycle bin?"

Lot of work,
November 3, 2009
By Ayesa
from Temecula, CA
"Bins are nice and sturdy. Thought that the rack would have much better quality for the price, but it's very flimsy and needs a lot of assembly time. Even with all the nuts and bolts needed to put it together, it still wobbles. We finally just anchored it to the garage wall so that it doesn't flex. Probably better to buy a separate rack and put the bins on it."

Great accessory to the shop,
July 13, 2009
By toolmanUSA
from houston, texas
"If you have put a knocked down unit together like this one, you will understand:
1. need some work area on the floor to assemble.
2. most instructions for this type of unit are the best in the world.
3. will need 30-45 minutes to put together.
4. suggest (like some other reviews) anchor it to a wall, especially if you plan on handling some heavier parts.
5. once done - this unit is a wonderful asset to any shop or parts room. keeps things organized and neat."

Anchor it to the wall,
January 21, 2008
By sgford
from East Texas
"I purchased this unit a few months ago and found it to be easy to assemble although it was time consuming and needed a decent sized flat area to lay it out and assemble. Once assembled it is fairly sturdy, but i would recommend that it be installed next to a wall and if possible anchore it to the wall cross member to prevent it from tipping over. Once installed it makes a nice piece."

Storage Rack,
January 21, 2008
By Heatguy
from Detroit, MI
"The instruction sheet is terrible, but if you look closely at the picture you can determine the required shelf spacing and support bracket placement. Assembly was easy no problem with the bolts or bin dividers others have stated. I have enjoyed mine and recommend attaching to a wall. I would buy another one and recommend it to anyone."

could be better,
March 13, 2007
By JP111
from New Mexico
"I purchased three units of these racks almost three years ago. And I just finished putting together another three units this week. Compariang the two purchases: the plastic bins are not quite as sturdy as they had been in the past. They're OK for relatively light contents, but I would not recommend loading them up with lots of metal or other heavy objects. The supplied hardware is a joke. The nuts fit 1/4" course threads, yet require a 10mm wrench to hold them. When assembling, don't think about tightening the nuts down with a wrench -- I broke quite a few of the slotted heads off of the bolts with only moderate screwdriver pressure alone. I recommend purchasing some 1/4" nuts and hex-head bolts from your local hardware store. To Quantum's credit, the shipping is a little better than previously. All three units were on one pallet and held firmly in place with strapping and shrink wrap. As noted by another reviewer, inspect the boxes containing the shelving very carefully. They dent easily. And if you don't note the damage on the shipping receipt at the time of delivery, you won't have much recourse other than grabbing a pair of sturdy pliers and a metal shaping hammer."

Steel shelves - plastic bins,
March 7, 2007
By TheYank
from Magnolia, TX
"The uprights and shelves are steel and the bins are a heavy plastic. The bins have a slot in the back that allow them to 'hang' when you pull them out to access what's inside. There are 5 bins to a shelf and they just sit there, nothing to hold them in place or prevent them from falling out the back, so be sure you put it against a wall.
I was disappointed that the instruction sheet did not explain how far apart to put the shelves. We did a little math and then counted the holes to keep them the same distance. Some of the nuts did not fit well on the bolts and we had to use a socket with a screwdriver to tighten them. A couple of the holes did not quite match and we screwed them into the holes. It would have been nice to know what size tool to use to tighten the nut.
I would have preferred some sort of 'feet' for the uprights. The steel sits directly on the floor and will cut into any material unless you have something under it. Since my warehouse has a laminated and tile floor, I put wood under the shelf to keep it from scratching the tile.
I would recommend you put the shelf up on sawhorses to assemble it. That made it easier. The shelf was a bit 'wonky' when we uprighted it. It would be better if it had more cross supports on the sides."

Quantum Storage 60 bin shelf unit.,
March 6, 2007
By GMMAN
from Bloomington, IL
"Product is ok. But the service from Quantum was poor. Northern tool was great and tried to make things better after it took a long time receiving item, missing parts, and shipping damage. They put all the shelves in a single layer card board box with no packing..and the outer shelves were damaged from being dropped and the instructions w/assembly hardware was missing! No luck with phone calls to quantum...just passed on or wanted me to ship it all back! And Nothern Tool admitted they have had similar problems and stories with Quantum so beware!"

Quantum Storage Bin Shelf Unit - 60,
November 18, 2006
By RadioMan
from South Dakota
"Overall this is an excellent item. It is very strong and fairly sturdy, although I did fasten it to a wall to provide more sturdiness.
Assembly is basically simple except the instructions aren't clear as to how far apart the shelves should be installed. I got that from zooming in on the photo in the catalog and counting the blank holes between the shelves.
The most difficult part of assembly is the flathead bolts provided with the unit. It's hard to hold a screwdriver in the bolt head slot, a wrench on the nut, and tighten it down. I didn't use the hardware supplied with the unit, but bought hex head 1/4 X 20 X 1/2" bolts to assemble it with. That made the job much easier.
It should have hex head, or even Phillips head, hardware was supplied with it."
