Heavy Duty Shelving Unit – 5-Tier Steel Rack with MDF Boards, 36 x 18 x 72 Inch
Heavy Duty Shelving Unit – 5-Tier Steel Rack with MDF Boards, 72 Inch
This heavy duty shelving unit is a five-shelf boltless rack with a black steel frame and MDF shelf boards, measuring 36 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 72 inches high. The supplier rates it at 400 lb per shelf and 2,000 lb in total. Easy Life Markets sells it in black.
It is a general-purpose storage rack for a garage, basement, pantry or utility room. The shelves are flat boards, so small tins, jars and loose items sit level and nothing drops through, which is the practical difference between this and a wire-deck rack. The shelf spacing adjusts in small steps, and the supplier's photos show it holding oil containers, a hose reel, a tool box and a spare wheel.
About the Brand
The supplier lists this rack under the VEVOR name, and the VEVOR logo appears on the supplier's photos. We are passing on what the supplier states. Easy Life Markets is a retailer, not the manufacturer, and we make no claim to be an authorised dealer for the brand.
What Is in the Box
The supplier provides no written packing list. The specification photo shows the rack with a rubber mallet and a pair of work gloves, and another photo shows anti-tipping brackets. We read those as included accessories, but the supplier does not confirm it in words. Ask us before ordering if it matters.

A Straight Answer on the Details
- The load figures. 400 lb per shelf is the supplier's rating. It assumes the weight is spread evenly over the whole board, the rack is correctly assembled and it stands on a hard, level floor. We have not tested it. The rack weighs 19.5 kg, so use sensible margins, keep the heaviest items low and never pile a big load in the middle of a board.
- MDF and damp. The boards are MDF, a wood-fibre board. It is strong when dry and swells if it gets wet. The original title lists bathroom and laundry among the uses. We would keep it in dry rooms, and stand liquids in trays.
- "Rust-proof". A supplier photo calls the coating rust-proof and scratch-resistant. Powder coating protects steel well. It is not proof against chips, and bare steel will rust.
- Board colour. The listing colour is black, which describes the frame. The shelf boards in the photos are a plain wood-fibre brown.
- Not stated: Board thickness, steel thickness, package size and a written list of accessories.
About MDF Boards
Medium-density fibreboard is made by pressing wood fibres and resin into dense, flat sheets. On a storage rack it gives a smooth, continuous surface that spreads a load across the steel beams beneath. It is heavier and flatter than plywood of the same thickness and has no grain to split along. Its one real weakness is moisture, which is why garages with damp floors or leaking roofs are hard on it.
Where to Use It
- Garage: Fluids, tools, car care kit and seasonal items.
- Basement or storeroom: Boxes, luggage and bulk supplies.
- Pantry: Tins, jars and small appliances on a flat surface.
- Workshop: Power tools and parts bins.
- Shop or office stockroom: Cartons and files.
Allow a floor space of about 90 × 45 cm and a clear height of at least 185 cm.
Putting It Together
- Wear gloves. Pressed steel has sharp edges.
- Hook the beams into the keyhole slots at the heights you want, using the same slot on every upright.
- Tap each beam down with a rubber mallet until its tabs are fully seated.
- Stand the frame up with a helper and drop the boards in from the bottom shelf upwards.
- Fit the anti-tipping brackets to the wall before loading.
- Load from the bottom up.
Care
- Wipe the frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Keep the boards dry and wipe up spills at once.
- Touch up chipped coating to stop rust.
- Check the beams are still seated after moving the rack.
- Do not climb on the shelves.
Who It Suits
Householders and small businesses who want tall, flat-shelved storage that goes together without bolts and can be reset as needs change.
