Any advice for getting the shelves to stay on the clasps?

Once you get it all put together, they should stay on better. Mine kept coming off till I got it all done.

Try putting them on the opposite ends. I had the same problem and when I switched ends for the clasps to go into it worked lots better.

The shelves aree not vebted. They are also not wide enough to hold two side by side tubs.I returned them and got vented larger ones at home depot.

I believe if you look you can buy additional shelves for these units, you might need to purchase the plastic sets that hold it into place additionally

I've got every shelf (except for the top, most shallow one) filled with a mix of books. It's held up fine, with very little wobble/no tipping at all. This is without the wall attachment, meaning I've just got it just leaning at an angle against my wall.

My shelf is about an inch but it's a loose fit. You might need to add tape or something to hold it.

Be careful, screws holding top shelf are very short, and are in pressboard. I had mine colapse so I replaced screws with through and through, now will hold anything.

I find that using some of that mesh type shelf lining helps. Put that on the wood dowel then your canvas then the clamp. You might need to adjust it a couple times to get it straight, but once it's done it will stay tight and straight

I've had mine fully loaded (with about 350 CDs) for about 8 months, and the shelves are not sagging at all. My only issue is you can't have 10 shelves equally spaced apart unless you don't attach the top trim molding. It looks fine without the trim, and I can fit CDs on the top shelf the same as the rest. I also painted the bottom of the shelves black, otherwise you will see the bare "wood" when sitting near it. Hope that helps!

I i used a drill with a phillips bit from underneath, into the ShelfLinks and thru the wood.i used a clamp to secure all of it and had it laying on the floor. The holes are predrilled in the plastic.

Yeah, it does take some effort but I did get mine on. It's probably good to keep them from being loose - you could try other method such as fasteners if needed.

Take out the shelf :) slide the shelf out or at worst slide the back side of the shelf out of the pegs, rotate then pull out up or down.

Mine isn't wall anchored and it's pretty stable. I've two spacers at the top of the shelves to off set the small amount of space that is caused by the shelves being against the floor board on the bottom but that's all and it is very stable to me. If you feel it's not stable enough free standing then I'd use an anchor at the top. Another thing to consider is if you plan to lay anything on top of the shelves such as a thin book or DVD case, be aware that if your not careful, it might slip down the back and you might have to dig it out. This happened to me and I had to get a pair of grabbers to get it out. To keep this from happening again, I placed a shelf mat on top of the shelves. Hope this helps.

I have several on a shelf I mounted on the wall. They are partly open in the back, so you could try putting 2 picture hanger-type hooks in the wall (level and about 7 1/2" apart) and catching the back of the unit on the hooks. I'm not sure how secure this would be, so I'd squeeze the hook as tight as possible to make it hold snuggly. I'd give it a good firm wiggle & tug before putting anything in it. Don't use it if it's not really secure; you don't want it falling off the wall once it's loaded. A shelf might be better.I think if you try to drill holes in the plastic it will crack the plastic.

Ours just pushed and snapped in. Don't think there are any threads in there. Not moving mine anyway, but nice to have the option if I had to. I believe the weight just secures the wheels to stay in place. Shelves are now holding a lot of stuff! Very happy with this unit. Nice and sturdy.

Loosen all the shelf screws and the cross braces screws and stand the shelf system in your desired location. Rock it gently to settle the legs and shelves in place and then tighten the shelf screws and finally the cross brace. This should solve the problem. Before starting this adjustment, check the allen wrench and screws to be sure nothing is stripped. Replace anything that is defective.

Agree with the other two reviewers...you must attach the four legs loosely, then attach the bottom shelf loosely, and finally tighten both the top and bottom shelves to the legs, alternating the legs being tightened so that all four legs and two shelves tighten together at the same time.

I believe none as the metal shelves work with plastic lock in pieces that are tapered. top shelf is rubber inserts. roller wheels I believe are also inserts. it might be nice to have a rubber mallet to lightly tap metal shelfs in place although I did it by using my weight to make sure shelfs were locked tight onto plastic pieces.
