Review on 📦 Optimized Storage Stand - LongArm0071 by Chris Norman

Assemble according to instructions using a rubber mallet. 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's still pretty 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, you'll want to make sure the area around it is clear of objects that could damage it if it falls. The good news is that a wider base can be added to make it heavier on the bottom 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 casters to the wooden base to allow it to be moved easily. Had I known it was needed I would have built a tool stand from scratch, but once I started I went into the 'done-and-done' Done' mode. A custom tool rack made of safer and heavier components is a better operation unless it's only used for a few very light tools - brooms, light mops, etc.
