Poor quality control on my item, YMMV. Not recommended

Use Case I purchased two of these units to store seasonal decorations in an offsite storage unit. I didn't need anything heavy-duty, from a weight bearing standpoint, but I did need the largest rolling racks I could find. This item appeared to be a good size, at a reasonable price. Packaging/Build Quality The shipping box arrived intact with no visible damage. All of the items were present when I opened the box. There wasn't really any packaging material to speak of, except for some plastic spacers that allow the shelves to be stacked without finish damage. The poles are each in two pieces, and there are a number of bags of shelf stops. The leveling feet are already mounted to the poles, while the casters are in a plastic bag that's ziptied to one of the shelves. Assembly is indeed tool-less, but it would be a good idea to have a boxcutter to detach the goodie bag, and possibly a rubber mallet to tamp the shelves down on the tapered, clamshell stops. While the finish quality is fine, 4 of the 6 shelves had noticeable damage which probably affects the load bearing capacity of the unit. Assembly/Appearance Assembly is a fast affair. I removed the leveling feet and screwed in the casters. From there put one set of stops on the bottom of each caster adorned rod. I didn't screw the poles together so I wouldn't have to deal with guiding shelves down 6 feet of poles. Once I positioned the first three shelves, I screwed in the top rods and finished placing the rest of the shelves. Unfortunately the degree of shelf damage kept the shelves from sitting completely level. I used a rubber mallet to get everything seated properly. Performance Once assembled, the unit is fairly square and holds everything that I wanted to put on it. Keep in mind that the damage probably affects the load-bearing capacity of the shelves, but I'm not putting anything heavy on it in the first place. Conclusion The low review is because of all of the mangled parts. It would be one thing if the damage came in the process of shipping, but some of the interior shelves in the stack showed the exact same damage (pictured). I'm not going through the hassle of packing everything back up and getting to a shipping location. I definitely DO NOT recommend this item, given my experiences (but YMMV).
