The picture is very misleading. I was excited at first until I checked the measurement..these are really small

It's seven quid!!!

Bought 8 for the garage.

Just need to get a garage now.

:confused:

I picked up two units and carried them to the bus, transferred buses, then carried them to the house. Two days later I had my baby. Trust me neither experience was as difficult as I imagined it could be. Also I could have managed two more units with my free hand, plus I had other shopping and a backpack. They are flat packed in small boxes, not very deep. :smiley:

Recently purchased some shelves from Aldi £30 ('normal' size) comparable below

H)180, (W)92, (D)46cm
H)137, (W)71, (D)31cm

For the price these are good. But personally for the footprint I would be after more storage hence why I went for some 'normal' sized ones. The larger ones are also 5 shelf and take 175kg per shelf, I have two tires with 18" rims on the top which the smaller units probably wouldn't handle.

Might be a good idea to reinforce the edges with a strip of wood or metal under the shelves edges to give extra strength and stop buckling. Depending on what you use them for.

For the price they are great.

Package is quite small,it'll fit in a car boot easily,approx 28 x 12 inches

Have reserved 4 of these. Can anybody tell me how these are flatpacked, i.e. Will they fit in back of car ok, or should I get someone in a van to lift them? Thanks!!

Also checkout the much sturdier 4 shelf, black snap-together one with wooden board shelves for £13 odd. It'll save you a lot of time constructing, and won't fold over when it's full, which these ones might well.

Shelves are steep, meh, but £13 for a sturdy lock together/pull-apart set is, IMHO, the real hot deal.

These 2 were side by side at my local, and a little wobble while pressing on the top shelf and you can tell these would collapse with more than a couple of board games on, I have two very similar, pain to build, then they fold up on you :smiley:

Mine were in cardboard boxes with logo etc, everything inside secure. Took 6 on a small shopping trolley and used a train to get back home. No cuts to my hands.
1 box might be ok for a woman, but 2 is a bit too much though..

I'm quite a strong chap and can confirm that two of these are awkward to carry. They are plastic wrapped and so slide against each other. ! minute across the car park was fun ... and i got a cut on my hand from a sharp edge lol. I don't think you should try to carry for 10 mins.

They are quite heavy and besides that it would be awkward getting on and off the bus,2 would definitely be too much for you and 1 is pushing it,

I'd go for a taxi if you've noone that could pick them up for you

Haha! Thank you for your suggestion/observation. I will explore some options - talking to Homebase via Twitter to see if they can arrange delivery for example. They are at least trying and responsive, gotta give them credit!

Not sure even one at a time would be a good idea! Do any friend have box trolley or something simular? Take the push chair :wink:

How heavy are these to carry out? As in, for a slightly (38 weeks) pregnant woman who has just ordered 2, and would be transporting them on the bus? With about a 10 minute walk on either side? Shall I budget to do one at a time? Thank you. :smiley:

Hi reviewing your thread was submitted as an instore only offline offer with no online link, this thread however is the online offer so we will allow both threads, thanks :smiley:

It'll be easier to use a screwdriver or some other sharp implement.

cold already posted

Will this unit scratch laminate floor?

Reserved another two,can use them to make the 4 I already got even higher thanks to another posters suggestion.

Hahaaha "Grrrr" "I'll get you Butler!!!" *fist punches*

Yep bolted together they are far more sturdy

ordered 1 in Warwick yesterday and they called me today in the morning to say sorry its out of stock :disappointed:

Anyone else end up with about 1000 spare bolts? :-)

Bought 2 for the kids toy shed, bolted them both together & screwed them to the wall. Great for toys etc.. Wouldn't put anything heavy on them.

Picked up my 4 yesterday put them together with the million bolts today, garage is now awesomely tidy, thanks OP

I think this is similar to the one i just tossed out If so - you are getting what you pay for - utter tat. I wouldn't see it as a bargain rather as saying goodbye to £7.92

The shelves i had were rickety, unstable and took quite a while to piece together. Think of it as a rubbish version of mecano.

Just assembled our 2 and ready to have junk placed neatly on them

Picked mine up today and whilst I'd hesitate to stick 50kg on each shelf it seems pretty decent for the money. It's tidied up the junk cupboard here nicely. Heat from me.

Try telling that to a primordial dwarf!:confused:

Could I cut by hand with loose hacksaw blade, I have a jigsaw but not very accurate with it and no work bench etc which doesn't help, I can see the mayhem now lol.

Mark out the square,drill holes in the 4 corners to get a jigsaw blade through,cut the square out and smooth out the edges with some sandpaper?

why have they even got one on display looking like this? Beggars belief

It is quite thin metal - slightly more flimsy than the old Quality Street tins before they went plastic. 50Kg per shelf would need to be distributed VERY evenly over the surface. The photos show what happens if not.
[img][/img]

Any ideas on how one would cut a section say a square out of the middle of a shelf acurately ideally without damaging square piece? And how would i smooth edges. Thank you in advance.

Awesome. After the baby's settled, the decorating has finished, the driveway lifted and relayed this will ideal to store the bike gear, as I appear to not be riding much any more! :laughing:

Thanks Ash57. Just managed to get last 7 at Basildon Arterial Road Store. Garage needed to be put in order so these should do the trick. Seems like a bargain to me if it's able to take a load up to 200kg

These boltless shelves tend to be very rickety and unstable. However just two screws into the wall and they become sturdy and stable. Also make sure the tags go through the loops properly. Then they become a great bargain.

Gonna rust like a rusty thing though surely?

20+ in Oxford Horsepath branch this afternoon. They couldn't find the 4 I reserved as the stock is near the tills not the shelving aisle. They're a sod to put together but very good for the price once finished. 1 up in my shed, 3 more in the garage to go....

More than 20 currently left in Sudbury, Suffolk.

Seen loads in the Bingley store. had a closer look at the picture in store and it looked like the 4 pillars are have a joint in the middle, that's why I didn't pick it up

I really hope they have to put all 50 together but in reality if they did get them all its probably another ebay opportunist. spoils it for everyone

​it's not that idiotic to buy the plastic one, it's taller, deeper and has more shelves so will actually hold more lighter stuff than the metal shelves and it just slots together, no bolts or tools needed. Be a better option for my Nan for instance who would use it for gardening tools, weedkiller's etc.
I agree that shelving and storage can be a rip off though!

:smile: What was I saying about the braindead? LOL
You couldn't make it up!
Did you actually get them though?

I have been in stores and been told no stock of certain item, and then pointed out they have stuff on their shelves!!
WTF has happened to this country? Intelligence is now in very short supply.

Chances are they will sell it before you pick it up

PS
Of course, if you are truly braindead :confused: you can pop along to B&Q and hand over FIFTY THREE QUID for this one!
http://www.diy.com/rooms/kis-5-shelf-plastic-shelving-unit/177674_BQ.prd
:smile::smile::smile:

Some **** reserved 50 in the Newport Road, Cardiff store. I reserved 4 and received a phone call while outside the store to say they couldn't honor it. What a joke!

Good price, but really this is all they are worth or certainly no more than a tenner. It 'seems' cheap because everywhere storage solution shelving is nowadays nothing but a rip-off.
One plus for this is it's galvanised, so no rust.

Some places will charge 30 quid for something as 'simple' as this, and that is what it is... VERY SIMPLE SHELVING!
I have bought loads of these over the years when cheap. It's only in recent years they escalated in price.

Even Homebase has in store another very similar made by Keter, it has an extra shelf BUT will hold LESS in weight than this because it's made of PLASTIC!!!, but **** will buy it in preference simply because of a name Keter. Idiots abound today everywhere. The braindead will buy the Keter because it says 'HEAVY DUTY' ...but it will hold 50 kgs LESS than the product (this one) that is virtually half the price! The braindead. Today they are everywhere!
Here is the Keter one should you be one of those ****! LOL.

HOT!

Just ordered 6. Thank you.

Cracking price agreed but seriously think Homebase need to get on top of their reservations system. Considering they are (failing that 'were' as think they've been sold onto a third-party) an Argos company their reservations system is shocking. Lost count of the amount of occasions great offers have been reserved for collection only to find a). They cannot find stock failing that b). Stock is damaged therefore unsaleable.

44 in Greenock and 1 in Hamilton

Is this strong enough to be a weights or dumbell rack?

I've heard it's misery to work there....
Then again, it's useful for needful things...
Just be careful of Carrie on tills.

Plenty of stock in the Richmond Branch, Manor Road, TW9.

Thanks OP, I've ordered two. Smaller and not as strong looking as the Lidl shelving I got a year or two back, but fine for putting things like pots of paint and boxed power tools on. It leaves more room on my large shelving system for the heavier and larger items.

Anyone that wants one let me know your nearest store and I'll check stock as work for homebase :stuck_out_tongue:

Not now apparently, according to Homebase stock checker.

64 in Seven Kings store and 46 in Dagenham store !

Seems they are selling a few of these, two stores near us had 70 yesterday one now has one left and the other about 20. The store with one is one of the store everyone thought would be closing they must have had a busy day yesterday for a change :smiley:

This one should have been deleted by the mods but guess the sites making a fortune out of it :disappointed:

Cheers OP. Heat added and picked one up this morning. Norwich store said they had about 60 in stock but 47 had been reserved already and we're going to be sold out by lunchtime

You must have a big screen. It looks pretty small on my ipad.

reserve mine yesterday in Warrington then there where over 30 left and more locally. Thanks.

18 in Harrogate

Can someone help me please.
When you are saying bolt two of them side by side, how do you do that?Ideally using the least amount of tools and equipment, as I'm not at all DIY savvy.
If you could provide pictures on how to bolt them, I would really appreciate it. Almost like a dummies guide to bolting two of these shelving units together!
Thanks a million

None in Preston or Blackpool now

None in Leicester(shire)

Purchased two of these this afternoon and just finished setting them up in the garage. They are solid when fully assembled and seem to hold plenty of weight. Ive got toolboxes, a chest and some heavy jacking gear on one of them and there seems to be no issues. Maybe they seem a little flimsy on assembly but I was impressed with the finished result. Tempted to buy a few more..

Wrap some tinsel round it and its a winner.

If you don;t pick up the reservation it will just expire at the close of business on Sun and they'll add it back to their stock

Anyone know if I have to pick it up if I reserve it or are they not bothered? I would like two but I'm not sure if I can get to them.

its normal price , just reserve some more at the weekend, or call them they'll hold it till monday

saw a display when I went to pick it up, very flimsy, not worth it imo

Put your thumb next to the picture they're tiny! :smile:

how long does the usual reservation last? reserved 3 but its saying collection sat-sun but can't collect till monday, if I reserve a few more after 12pm will I offer me monday collection?

​Win some. Lose some.
C'est la vie

yep...nothing by me...7 bloody stores and no stock. now what do i spen my "nearly £8" on!!

[quote=][quote=ottoman_1453] Hi, does someone who has this already, could they confirm if you purchased two, will they simply stack / slot on top of eachother, do they have grooves? is that how they're designed? Thanks

You could actually, if you purchased three and used the third to split in half, you could increase the size of the first two by another half. Two full ones on top of each other would probably be dangerous due to the height. Maybe if you fixed the top to the wall or something?

Bought 4, takes a while to assemble and does need extra bracing, but a bargain price

Going to put one together now. My god I know how to party on a Friday. Where's the whiskey... :confused:

Just looked up Goat Weed and came up with this!
http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Way-Horny-Goat-Weed-Standardized-60-Capsules/4542

I saw this at homebase today and it looked a little thin compared to the shelving rack at £59.99. obviously the price difference means there will be a difference in quality,but i thought it would be suitable for displaying my plants on. it should be good for power tools,nuts,bolts etc but id think twice about putting a transformer on it.

Yeah I see that 3 days ago popped to HB to have a look at them, there are tiny and not very good at all,..

We purchased the very good B&Q ones a little while back for £20 far superior to these, that's why I didn't think it would get much heat,?? Strange

Must be due to it being a Friday maybe :wink:

Hot!

But this one has a picture of what it is! Heat to both!

Plenty in sleaford lincolnshire

This site is so random sometimes.
THIS received very little heat and love.

I already posted this Grr !!


http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/handy-storage-4-shelf-metal-storage-unit-homebase-instore-market-drayton-2449033

I have had this exact item before. Very thin and flimsy. Not much of a bargain, just about worth the money if it suits your needs.

Hi, does someone who has this already, could they confirm if you purchased two, will they simply stack / slot on top of eachother, do they have grooves? is that how they're designed? Thanks

I went to pick up two this morning for the garage, I changed my mind after seeing them, super flimsy and I doubt it would hold much without folding under the weight, would be ok for storing pillows though. No straps or anything to give them extra stability, you get what you pay for I guess.

Bought 8 for the garage.

Just need to get a garage now.

:confused:

A man needs a banana for scale fore buying.

​reinforce with some 6mm board. will add a bit of strength to the panels. otherwise will get a gradual bend in the middle of the panel. or some some lengths of laff. drilled and bolted appropriately

29 in Bromsgrove. otherwise birmingham empty lol

Anyone got the flat packed box dimensions. Do they fit comfortably in the boot. Want to pick up 4

dont forget to check the nectar app ... just bought something from homebase and checked and it had 500 points on your next shop at homebase

Booked for store collection. Heat added..!

reserved 2 thank you

Thanks op, reserved. 43 available in my local store at Kingsway Derby

thanks

Reserved 2 for collection from southend, just what i needed for the garage :smiley:

Having just purchased and put one up, it is a tad flimsy. I'm not sure it'll hold up to its 50kg per shelf claim, the price is decent nonetheless. I don't plan to push it to said limit so I should be fine!

They take an absolute age to assemble. Good luck with 12!!

They're relatively small boxes. Pretty much just twice the thickness of 1 shelf. So about 6 cm x 71 cm x 31cm.

reserved 2 for pick up from local store
great price :smiley:

Saw this on TV and I thought .. that's probably not the best place to some shelves.

price sounds about right

Because comment like it are the reason we have to have instructions on shampoo! And yes that's another "!" It's so simple to click the link and see the measurements for yourself, or would you like everyone who posts a deal to spoon feed everyone who reads it and state measurements in the title?

I ordered one - but when I saw the actual thing in store - I didn't bother.
Quite flimsy.
No cross supports at the back or anything.
I could bend the supporting struts over between 2 fingers
Yes I know it is cheap, but I would rather pay more and get something more substantial.
Others may be happy with the quality - which is good enough for them.

Good point. I order 8.

that's about 1ft, if you want deeper, get 2 and bolt them together.

But the picture can only be misleading if they had, say a 6ft guy standing next to them - then you could argue that it was misleading.

If you buy these & take a photo of them in isolation, and post it here, it will look exactly the same as the photo above.

(No exclamation marks were harmed during the making of this reply)

Seen these yesterday in store, not that big, not greatly strong shelves but a good deal for light storage, well worth the price.

Just purchased 4. They had one on display so can confirm decent quality and pretty sturdy. Can't go wrong at this price. They had a similar item that had wooden shelves and steel frame for 13 quid but wasn't as good (easy build no bolts)

Bought 4 of these last week. Quite a few bolts but, very rigid when constructed. Have lined my garage walls with them.

For me a bargain, and you cannot complain - significantly better than you think. Height is made from bolting two pieces together. You will be pleasantly surprised.

EDIT: I will be buying a few more I think for the shed.

Can you let us know if you find some high quality stuff at a good price please? I need a good few.

its a plant. it won't hit a piece of metal and think oh I'll just stop growing now.
Or were you thinking a solid metre deep the entire length of the garden. It will go above, around, over or under. You can't fool nature.

65 in newtownabbey store. Well minus four for me <3

Actually, that's a really good idea! I have the same problem and thought about metal sheeting but found it too expensive until you mentioned it.
Cheers :sunglasses:

Because they, as do I, already have 4 shelf storage shelving and it's over 6ft. I also thought I'd get some more until I noticed how short and shallow they are.
It's their opinion, so why feel the need to be petty, and with the shouty exclamation mark?

ordered from Blackpool supposed to be sixty odd in stock when I ordered. They've just rang to say they can't fulfill the order! Typical Homebase hope they go bust

Ive been looking for some sheet metal for gardening - to create a below-ground barrier to stop goat weed coming in underground from next door. Wondering if I might be able to flatten these shelves and use them for this purpose. Seems an affordable option... Is this a crazy idea? (And are there more affordable options?)

How's the picture misleading? It's a photo of the shelving, not as if there's a bloke stood next to them!

100+ available in my local stores :wink:

Fab , was looking for shelves !!!

The picture is very misleading. I was excited at first until I checked the measurement..these are really small

thanks op, nearly bought some from *bay last night, for £8 give these a try, easy to return if no good

good deal but regular price one of homebase bargain deals which they are doing now since they bin bought out

Does anyone know if the Nectar bonus reward is still available for Homebase (spend 2000 points and get 1000 back I think)?

Max weight 200kg so would think very sturdy. Admittedly doesn't look it!

A depth of 31cm? Sounds a bit shallow.

A great price but I suspect you get what you pay for. It looks good but is on the small size and may have thin metal. No reviews on the Homebase website for it either. I am looking for garage shelving but will probably look at proper Dexion shelving.

Just reserved the last 2 at Moor Allerton, Leeds. The last 5 in Wakefield went while i was ordering.

Well, nearly £8. :stuck_out_tongue:

Might get a few of these for the garden. Would prob look quite nice loaded with colourful plants

Near enough 4 1/2 ft high, not too bad for the money & plenty of stock about. Hot Deal. :laughing:

£2 more for very similar units in Ikea (HYLLIS), if anyone misses out.

It's seven quid!!!

137cm it's not so high

ordered 2. thanks OP!!

I'm sure this was posted a few days ago

Thanks. Ordered 12!! Pick up from Leeds!! Do for my new garage

3 reserved, thanks

I have just reserved one - hopefully this is as robust as it claims.
I was only in Homebase yesterday looking for the cheap Crown Paint - none to be seen, so this may make up for that wasted journey.

This will do nicely, reserved six to cover the length of the garage wall. Great find op! Thanks! Voted hot, obviously :wink:

Insane price but none near me unfortunately.

Time to tidy up the garage.Thanks Op.

Cracking Price
