Review on πŸ“¦ Optimized Storage Stand - LongArm0071 by Roberta Henderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A decent product after attaching the weighted base and screwing the plastic posts to the legs.

Assemble with a rubber mallet according to the instructions. I made sure the support legs are in contact with the bottom of the base. The middle shelf is also set firmly in the middle, secured with a hammer, and the top shelf is also fastened and inserted. However, it is still fairly easy to understand. It is too light when assembled and the stand is too small to prevent it from falling off if handled carelessly. If you've loaded it up with heavy tools like shovels and metal rakes, it's a good idea to make sure the area around it is clear of anything that could damage it if it falls. The good news is that a wider base can add weight from below and add some surface area to provide more stability. I used 1" wing washers in each corner shell and one in the center to screw them to a 24" base made of 2" reclaimed wood. I screwed self-tapping screws into each of the plastic posts and into the metal legs to keep them from falling apart. I also attached wheels to the wooden base so it can be moved easily. Had I known it was needed I would have built a tool stand from scratch, but once I got started I went into the "don't-do-it-all" Done' mode. A custom tool rack made of safer and heavier components is a better operation unless it's only used for some very light tools - brooms, light mops, etc.

Pros
