Quote: "Heavy duty boltless shelving unit suitable for wall mounting."
- Neither for heavy duty suitable nor a wall mounting is provided. The one can but even drill with a metal drill in the profile and anchor by dowels in the wall.
Quote: "shelves can be variably mounted Dimensions: approx 1800 x 900 x 400 mm (HxWxD), plates with 5 floors MFD, load capacity per shelf 175 kg Total load capacity 875 kg.."
- Soils can be variably mounted except at the connection points. If the shelf is time, just do not change the soil because of acute danger of collapse.
- Agree dimensions
- Floors are made of MDF, not from "MFD" - whatever may be the. Thickness approx 9mm, the smell of the good quality formaldehydverleimte China (wood smells sweetish). Fit of the floors in the assembled profile frame is bad to unsatisfactory, which is not really bad but because the profiles tend already under small force to cold forming.
- Topic "Capacity 875kg": have my shelf with 2 bag potting soil - which, incidentally, well fit into the compartment and load the soil evenly - loaded. Result: Regal despite WALL collapsed!
As the? The shelf was enshrined by me only in the upper third in the wall so it is not as skewed and the left-right Gewackel ceases. I purely loaded into the second floor from below the earth. Under this load (60 liters dry earth - not quite 40kg, I could lift loose, otherwise there was nothing on the shelf) are the horizontal section beams bent (!!), and the lower half of the shelf has collapsed into itself. The upper part was still hanging neatly on the wall, just in the foot, the profiles were slightly bent. The process has, incidentally, played only a few hours after installation and loading in my garage when I had parked my car again. Now I have an annoying scratches from the metal profile in the car cooler and unfortunately only half a hanging shelf instead of a whole Stehr matter.
Quote: ". Without screws - easy to put weight: 20 kg"
- Dead weight can be.
- Installation is just plain dangerous. Lauter sharp edges, hellishly sharp corners, a guide can be the course of creativity. The profiles are so easily baked, that one must be very careful not merely to bend. Some reviewers mentioned a rubber mallet - I would have concerns to approach the profiles of more than cautious muscle strength.
Conclusion:
- Shipping was initiated quickly and came hermes typically on time. The return process has then folded after 4 weeks and a reminder email. Shipping costs are not refundable.
- 1 shelf total loss.
- 1 scratch in the car, cursing, cuts, 1 pair of gloves blended and anger about the necessary disposal gabs free.
I had ordered 3 shelves - two I returned unopened again. The return shipping via Hermes was simple and straightforward.
Let better stay away from the junk. If there are children in the household to prohibit the acquisition because of the many sharp edges.
Alternatives could be a low-priced wooden shelf or a metal boltless shelving for about 30 from any hardware store. Normally, the market assembled specimens are on display and you can work out in advance how (in) stability, the shelf will be home then.
Anyway, definitely take an alternative. That's here in my opinion dangerous scrap, which is free from TUV, CE and other Prüfkennungen incidentally. Could I forgive zero stars, the shelf she deserved.
Addendum: The dealer has in the meantime reimbursed the shipping costs.
