Wasn't quite sure how to rate this. Instructions would equal 1 star, but assembled, it's actually a pretty sturdy and heavy metal shelf, so I went with the 4 star rating. Inexpensive, and looks decent. I purchased this to help organize a closet in the house, and I think it'll do the job. Pretty study. I probably wouldn't recommend going overboard, but I'd bet this little shelf could hold some heavier items a-ok.
Onto assembly. I'm not extraordinarily "handy", but I've put together a few of these types of shelves fairly successfully. Aside from indicating the pieces that should be included in the box, the instructions kinda suck, so here are a few pointers that might help, if you're not a shelf-assembling genius.
You'll have extra pieces, and a handful of pieces not listed in the instructions (I still don't know what they are), so don't be surprised. Just be confused, like me.
First, join the poles. There are two different poles for each corner that attach with a fat silver screw. Put these together first.
At the end of each conjoined pole is a bottom that accept a screwed-in "foot"; attach these next.
Now for the not-fun: decide where you want each of the three shelves to rest, and use two of the semicircle plastic pieces to create a stopping point on each bar. Be sure to read the "Top" in the etched plastic to orient them properly. The pieces will (mostly) join at each pole joint; just be sure to pick the same spot on each pole. For fun, these might fall off before or when you try to place the shelf. It's a added bonus.
After placing your first set of semicircle pieces on each bar, add your first shelf. BE SURE you place the shelf, so the wider part of the cone faces downward. When placed, give a good push to be sure the shelf sets. The shelf will help hold the semicircle pieces in place, which help hold the shelf in place, etc....
Repeat until you've placed all the shelves.
