No Name Kmart brand
Yuck, with very little weight this shelf unit is in serious trouble.
I have a bunch of these in use for newspapers, letters, etc. They refuse
to stay assembled in most cases.
Generic Metal
These have each corner made out of a metal V, and the shelves etc. all
fasten to that via bolts. Stronger than it looks, and the mainstay of most
serious shelf efforts.
I used to have one of these, and while it stayed intact, the metal shelf
sagged in the middle so it looked more like a hammock. This made it rather
difficult to stack anything.
Whatever happened to wood/plywood? It is fairly cheap, since you don't
really need top quality wood, and you can easily shape it to any
length/width you want.
