I'll be buying a set for my lockup.

The ‘connector pins’ did NOT simply slide in like in video. So frustrating!

[scoopdecoop]

Can’t get the pins in to save my life. They won’t even go thru the first 2 holes

[casshawkins]

I have misplaced the connector pins for my shelving unit and can't seem to find any at Bunnings or Mitre 10. Can someone please suggest where I can get some.

[birotomodachi]

Your box offers to alternative set ups, but neither you’re included instructions, or your video show how to best setup these alternatives. Please include a link or additional detail in the video.

the long pins destroyed my fun... they dont fit trough holes, horrible... not possible to put the 2 parts together..

Where can I get a cover for this 5 tier shelf?

[sovietmeow]

Is anyone out there able to help me? I absolutely cannot get the center braces to go into the long self beams. I have tried everything and they won't go. Even the Bunnings I bought the kit from won't help. Taking a bloody picture and emailing it in is a stupid suggestion and loading the half assembled unit into a ute (which I don't have) is even more 'brilliant'. All I need is some helpful tips on how to get the lil buggers in their place. Otherwise, the assembly went very well. Thanks

is it possible to cut and re-rivet these kinds of shelves? originally 40" wide, i need it to be 34.5" wide. if so, what kind of tools can make this happen? (to re-rivet it and also cut both the frame and the silver rack part)

I lost connector pin to join. I used as two part for long time. Now I needed to make it one. I have not find anywhere connector pin. Do you know where can I get connector pin ? Hardware stores are closed until 14th June to reopen. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know what I can do the connector pins problem? Specifically what can I use?

[Scouter]

This thing is such a fucking nightmare to work with. I just spent an hour straight trying to adjust the shelf and MDF platform which did NOT want to budge at ALL. I had to pry the supports to the side with needle nose pliers.

[JulianPedley]

Does anyone have the assembly instructions that they can share please? While the video is helpful, it lacks the detail instruction

[xajfox]

The video of course is an absolute lie for the connector pins, they don't go in properly at all, cheap materials most likely.

The way I got them to work:

You'll need a medium sized philips head screwdriver (head larger than the pin head) and some pliers with a metal head.

First I inserted the pin through the inside of the long metal rail - they would only go through the first hole. I held the rail down on a solid box (end with the pin pointing down), placed the philips head screwdriver against the pin and hammered it in with the pliers. Kept doing this until it went all the way through. This was tricky as could only use the side of the rail for leverage on the box, but easy once did it a few times.

Next I lined the pin up with the bottom rail which was standing up on the base, - it only went through the top hole. I then pressed down on the pin (holding the top rail) and rotated it until it caught, and the top rail could stand up by itself.

I then moved around until the top rail was against my body, placed the philips head screwdriver against the pin and hammered it in the rest of the way with the pliers.

Once I got this technique down each rail was done pretty quickly. The more expensive heavy duty ones don't have this, the rail on those goes the entire height of the shelf so it's a lot easier to put together.

I just bought one of the 5 tier all metal heavy duty shelves and the instructions are contradictory. It says to put the bottom shelf in the second and third holes from the bottom, , but if you do that then the rest of the shelving spaces don't add up how it claims. It says 12, 11, 11, 11 spaces, but you're left with 12, 10, 11, 11. I could make them all 11 of course, but I'm wondering if I can just put the bottom shelf in the very bottom holes? Please advise. Typical made in China crap with instructions that don't match the product.

[crackerjacks]

My shelving unit did not come with a connector pin!!

[suresh]

Not so easy as it sounds on the video. Looks the video is for professionals. It would be better if a step by step guide is given for those who would assemble it for the first time and most probably only once. We figured it out finally. Manual is not of much use.

[noelching]

The connection pins really upset me, terrible product

[geoffreypotterpotter]

This storage rack is absolute cheap garbage.The mdf ply board is shit and the metal support beams that are suppose to support the shelfing dont hold.The horizontal cross beams bow in and there isn't enough clearance to house the super cheap mdf shelfs, If you try and push the horizontal cross beams out to help fit the shelf in the beams that are suppose to support the shelfing just pop out.Absolute garbage.I bought this on special and I'm still terribly disappointed . I'll be taking this piece of shit back to bunnings and getting my money back.If your reading this chances are you've already bought it, trust me, it's not you its the design of this thing.Take it back, complete cash grab from the company.I wish I read other reviews about this trash before I wasted my time buying it.If you haven't bought this and are reading this, forget it,
DON'T BUY IT🙁

[ThaaatGuy]

Wow you must have a purpose built one for video. Be nice if things slipped through like yours did. Terrible product.
