- Lay down one side panel and install all the shelves & backboards - Make sure holes on shelf align with back plates - After installing all the shelves, lay down the other side and flip the side with shelves on top, this keeps everything in place and easy to screw in. Notes: - You can install the shelves flat OR slated - There are holes on both sides so you can install shelves facing either direction I am super happy with this shelf. It's much deeper than I expected and a bit shorter width wise than I expected. The backboards could have been a little taller. I am using this to store computer components and it works fantastic, there's plenty of space on each shelf. The casters are really nice and durable, they are large heavy duty casters. In general the shelf seems really durable and it's very sturdy, definitely designed to hold some weight. The included tools suck so you will need your own. The hex key feels like it's a size too big and the wrench included for the casters was definitely too big, I had to screw them in by hand, but it was possible. The side pocket has the logo printed on it off center and it's pretty ugly. I love that the sides are like pegboards but they should really include a couple of accessories like some pegs. Still, while this has a few minor quirks, I am super happy with this shelf as it seems built to last, certainly worth it for the price.
