Review on DuraSteel Commercial Stainless Steel Mount by Mike Wallace

Revainrating 2 out of 5

get what you pay for

i ordered 2 of these shelves, one 60" and one 48", at first the 'boxes' they were packaged in were worse to get them for the shipping adequately and both arrived slightly damaged with holes in their boxes. However, they were both shipped on time if that helps lol. I selected both blocks to fit my shed and measured the stud to stud spacing for ease of installation and for ease of installation as I found the studs were just screwed on and done but they were it not. The 60" is actually a 58 and 3/4, and the 48 had screw holes spaced 40" apart, so it took a long time to drill each mounting hole to install it properly. Mounting screws and plastic expanders seem adequate if you're mounting to drywall and only want to put about 50 pounds on the shelves. That being said I had to bring my own screws, bolts and washers. The 60 inch shelf only comes with 2 triangular shelf brackets, why only 2 when you actually need 3 or even 4. The 48 inch shelf comes with 3 and that seems like enough to easily hold 200 pounds or more if you use good fasteners and screws to the cleats properly. I spent 4 hours installing these things and the way I did it I would say they will hold 300 pounds or more safely. Remember I also added more supports and used my own fasteners and added more holes to attach to more cleats for increased rigidity and strength. , Summary: Get your fasteners, quality drill bits, drill bits, etc. Tools are required to install properly, some edges may be sharp, shelves are bent not cut and welded so some sections are not in a 45 degree Angles are flush mount (back of shelf) which makes a perfectly flat mount difficult. I chose these over other US made ones offered on Amazon because of the cost, on the back I should have gotten the US made version lol. but they should really last and support everything I add above.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • something different
