3x SX400 Industrial Shelving - 2440mm High - 400kg - Melamine - Blue & Orange

We are really pleased with these and they are very strong.

They were easy to put together, although we used another heavier mallet at times to help.

Once constructed they are rock solid and look great.

The delivery was fine and the driver kindly helped me to carry them to my garage. I then left them a few days before assembly. Unfortunately the melamine shelves had taken a hit in transit and were chipped on one corner. There were no instructions in either of the 2 parcels we received. We could find no video instructions on line for this particular product. There were plenty for other systems but none for the sx range. We eventually found a PDF version which enabled us to make a start. Assembly was far from easy. With no nuts or bolts the need to align very tight fitting fixings was far from simple. It didn't help that the supplied rubber hammer was of such poor quality that its head kept flying off at crucial times. All in all it was not a great experience. We did manage to hide the chipped corners out of sight at the back. Now they are in situ they are OK but I would urge anyone looking at them to buy to consider one with a better assembly method

Delivery was a big problem. There are more than 10 separate companies on my site with the same postcode. The shelves & racking of my order were delivered separately on different days, and neither to my company. Luckily the company that received the shelves knew me and contacted me. But the racking had to be tracked down with detective work. Tufferman provided the proof of delivery photos from DX which were very helpful. The problem is that the recipient company name is not printed on the address label, and may not even be passed to DX's computer system.

For the racking itself - the verticals and main horizontals were not difficult to assemble (quite therapeutic in fact with all the hammer bashing!), but the support pieces in the middle between the horizontals were hard to fit. Awkward to get at and the attachment pieces didn't stick out quite far enough to locate in the holes. Also the head flew off the wooden handled rubber mallet after about a dozen bashes. It could be hammered back on but flew off again occasionally so be careful no one stands in front!

Looks nice when built, and quite stable.

GREAT SERVICE FAST AND EASY

Shelving system excellent, however the 2 mallets I received to assemble the kit were of poor quality. both mallet heads came off the shaft straight away, and were rendered useless. I had to hold the head on whilst using which made the assembly process a little more difficult. That apart, the shelves are excellent and I am using them in my new storage unit.
