Why is this a good deal? 💰

For just $46, you get the quality of a much more expensive item that's versatile enough for pretty much any room in your house. And, hey, staying organized is priceless, right?

Why do I need this? 🤔

It's hard to imagine anyone not needing a reason to declutter. The shelves on this BestOffice unit are adjustable to different heights, so it can accommodate bigger items like automotive parts and storage boxes as well as smaller things like books and kitchenware. So even if you take advantage of this unbeatable discount now, you're bound to find a use for this problem-solver.

The unit takes great advantage of vertical space, but it only takes up three feet of floor space across and a little more than a foot out from the wall. That's a pretty concise footprint for a shelving unit with enough storage capacity to hold an entire bathroom's worth of towels and linens, a complete folded wardrobe, or all the tools in your workshop (it's 72 inches high).

And unlike pieces from certain DIY furniture stores that shall remain unnamed, this Walmart score is easy to assemble; shoppers say it takes just 15 minutes to put together and requires zero tools. It's even marketed "for idiots" — their words, not ours!

What reviewers say 💬

Customers are so proud of their score that they're posting proud reviews and showing off how they use their BestOffice shelving unit. Nearly 1,500 Walmart shoppers even gave it five stars.

Pros 👍

One person joked that it's "strong, good-looking and organized," making it sound more like a dating prospect than a storage piece! "It makes storage easy! I see all my Christmas decorations together, tools together, out-of-season items and so on."

The BestOffice unit took some shoppers by surprise. "I ordered this, not expecting much. The price was a third of what I'd have paid at a furniture store for a comparable item. I was pleasantly surprised at its quality, comfort, and, thus far, longevity," one fan wrote. "I have already ordered four more shelves because they are so good," said another reviewer who was taken aback by the "poundage" this shelving unit can support.

And as for putting it together, one shopper wrote, "Easy to assemble. Could hold a great deal. Looks great. Just make sure you secure to the wall so no littles can pull it over." Another bragged, "I'm 65 and can do it alone!" Said yet another: "I was able to assemble them with no help. Not bad for an octogenarian granny."

The BestOffice shelving unit has strength and sturdiness in its corner, as it holds a cumulative 1,250 pounds. One shopper described it as "capable of holding the weight of everything." High praise, indeed!

Its customizability is also a major selling point. "The shelves are adjustable so you can set them to your preferred height. I'm currently using mine to store clothing, organize pantry items, and another shelf unit to keep laundry and cleaning supplies," someone wrote.

Cons 👎

Overall, this piece is rated very highly, but a few customers have pointed out that the shelves might warp if you overload them (each shelf holds a maximum of 250 pounds).

A few others said the cart would be perfect if it had wheels.

If you prefer the unit in chrome instead of black, it's just an extra $2. You'll be impressed with how easily the wire shelves snap and slide into place.
