Thank you for this easy detailed instruction video cause if all I had was these instructions included in the box I'd be up the creek. So here it is 6 years later in 2023 & you've saved me Tons of frustration! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! You're a Rock Star! 🤩👍
Saved my sanity. The instructions on how to get the top and bottom halves to mate were, to be kind, obscure. Watching you put this together gave me the information I needed to get this put together properly. Edsal should be paying you!
This is the only helpful video I’ve come across. Thank you. I couldn’t figure out what side the braces point. You’re the only one who explained that the flat side needs to point up.
dude, you're a lifesaver. I got the edsal brand 60in from Home Depot and the installation instructions I found online were terrible. couldn't figure out how to put the top and bottom beams together without it falling. your pull up and then hammer method worked flawlessly. I appreciate you. take care.
Thanks! I bought 4 sets of these at an estate sale. I had to disassemble them and there were no printed instructions. I tried reverse engineering how I took them down, but I hit a wall when it came to attaching the second tier of uprights. I had tapped the third set of crossbars into place, so there was no room to stack the uprights flush. Your instructions on this part saved me. Thanks again. Cheers!
I need to take the time to personally thank you for this video. I cannot believe the awful instructions that came with the shelves. As soon as my girlfriend and I started arguing, I thought about searching RUclips. You saved our day. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS
Thanks Buddy - I bought a couple of these. I opened the box and got everything out. Took a look at the instructions and thought "here's a go" anyway I decided to give it a crack. Needless to say I couldn't make out anything but once I looked at your video a couple of times, I was able to get my shelves together. I just have the top left hand short side which won't slide correctly into position - everything else is perfect - oh well - I'll just stick something light up there ! Thanks again 🙂
Thank you! I bought one of these and lost the instructions. This video was perfect, I had it put together in about a half an hour, no confusion, no mistakes, no wasted time trying to figure it out. Big help!
Your instructions were spot on. So simply explained and especially the part where we connect the top and bottom you made it look so simple and if followed right they were not difficult. Great video and thanks so much for making our job easier 👏👏
Thank you for this. I just bought the biggest they have of this shelf and my dad is worried I won't have the tools to put it together. I plan to send him this video to prove to him it is easy to put together. Again, thank you. You will have put his mind at ease.
I’ve been struggling for days trying to figure out how to assemble this shelf that was given to me. I bought couplers online as I thought it was necessary only to find out they’re the wrong size. No other videos I found showed this. Thank you!
My wife threw everything and walked away saying I am fed up and you do this alone ... then i came across this video ... thanks you are a super star and a marriage saver 🤣🤣
I needed to thank you soooo much for this video....I was putting up this same exact shelving last night and Omg I could not figure out the second part to save my life lol. I was beside myself I stopped 6 attempts to take a moment because I was ready to scream lol..I am a woman...lol Then it hit me....Holy crap you tube... And there was your video doing the same exact shelving..If I could send you flowers omg I would..lol You helped me bigtime ...Thank you a million times over....Your the best...!!!!!!
We purchased six of the MuscleRacks from Walmart (four 48x24, two 48x18). My wife and daughter did all the assembly. The biggest problem they encountered was caused by bent metal ends of shelf supports where the rivet heads are attached. The bend in the metal was hard to notice but a slight bend will give you fits as the pair of rivet heads won't socket correctly into the pair the keyholes they're intended to lock into. My advice is to closely examine the pieces before you begin the assembly. Straightening the ends of the supports is easy and it will make the job much less frustrating. Our purchase of six units included a total of 240 rivet-ends on the 120 shelf support pieces. Four or five ends had slight bends that needed straightening.
Thank you sooooo much! I had the beams facing outward and I couldn't figure out the correct way to place them from these handwritten instructions with bad pictures.. I am so grateful you took time to make this video :-)
Thank you. Getting the top and bottom together was... well, a lot of swear words were involved with that process and my husband and I may have yelled a bit. Finally I came onto youtube to see if there was help and your video was a lot of help actually. I never dreamed something this simple looking could be so incredibly difficult. I've built a lot of furniture over the years and I think getting the top and bottom together was probably one of the hardest things I've done.
This is the best of the shelf assembly videos I've seen so far. The key is setting the bottom edge of the top post on the top edge of the bottom edge as you tap the braces into the keyholes. The metal is thin (thinner than the old shelves that came with our house), so the top post may slip off as you pound down. Keep trying and it should work if the end isn't bent too badly. You might find that one rivet bottoms out before the other, but that is probably OK as long as it is within the narrow part of the keyhole.
Thanks for the vid..my wife bought one of these years ago and I looked at it and took it apart and cussed the whole time putting it back together which took awhile and today after watching ur vid I bought another one and put it together in 10 mins..very easy.
@@uberDoward Thank you! It is in my home office now. You are a master doing it by yourself. My Mom and brother helped me hold pieces in place. Your video was a lifesaver. I am really happy with the finished product. Did you anchor your shelves to the wall?
Awesome. Thank you for showing us this shelf. I have an idea to convert one of these into multiple 4'x18"x2' reptile vivariums with space for storage and heat lamps.
Hallelujah!!! A man made a video showing how to assemble these shelves. I had to write Edsal Customer Service twice, before they shared this video. How difficult would it be for Edsal to show this video's 'address' or link on the 1 page of instructions, to assist the person putting the shelf together?? I mean REALLY!!!
Thanks for doing this. I bought the same unit. It says something about floor fastener or wall fastener. I really can't put it into the wall, but I was curious about how to fasten it onto the floor. I am really terrible at being a handyman, but I am very appreciate of you doing this and putting it on a video so I can do it.
Had a muscle rack already, bought a second one. The new one fit together like the first, but the posts on the new one weren’t deep enough to fit like the first. I slashed my hand and then took a couple of days off from it! Thank you for the vid and the assistance!
Mine came with couplings for attaching the vertical pieces together. A lot easier (and sturdier) than what you show. The Edsal model number was UR-245PBB (at Home Depot)
Just took mine out of the box, took a look at the directions and then right to RUclips! Thanks for making this video! Although I paid $84 for one on a Walmart black friday deal ugh. Thought I'd gotten a good bargain until now.
Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it un-assisted. I am 64 and very happy to have accomplished it on my own. Paper instructions are never as good.
Thank you so much! I struggled with this shelf for over an hour trying to figure out how to get the next level on there! Cursing, crying, and and in the fetal position on the ground
this company should be ASHAMED of how shitty their assembly instructions are written. Thank you for doing what a multimillion dollar company was unable to adequately explain. How these corporations get away with such bs is disgusting. You should get a commission from them for every view on here.
uberDoward I still can’t get the second posts to attach, so decided to do two shelve ship side by side, and the side pieces still won’t stay attached and I’m wailing on it with a mallet. This product is absolute SHIT. I’d like to take my mallet to MuscleRack and find the POs who greenlighted this product and show them how hard I can swing.
Thank you so much. Hammer helped to get them sturdy enough to add the second level. We finally got the couplers to work however as we didn't want a shelf right at the mid-level. Very helpful video.
Thanks, I can’t install this with lousy instruction sheet I got in box. Walmart is giving 4 E couplers for extensions. I don’t think we need that and these e couplers make shelf unstable . I like your extension idea better
Thank you for your video. The directions where non-existent and I had no idea how to do it. Your video was awesome and I had it put together in no time!
GREAT VIDEO! I could not figure out how to join the top with the bottom. They are easy to assemble and great shelves, I am using them for food storage.
I ended up just squeezing the tops into the bottom rack. It may be a little unstable but it holds pretty well, especially when I'm using the shelves for medium-light weight storage.
I’ve seen all the videos for this shelf and this is the best video. I just ordered this from Walmart cause I have a few mid size and not to heavy yard tools I want to put on this. I know the shelf is cheap cause it’s a Walmart product but as long as it can hold a Weed wacker Two leaf blowers Tools Gas can and others light things then for $50 I call it a win/win .. the only problem I see is the cheap board Just don’t store heavy weight on 3rd or 4th shelf and all should be fine and definitely no liquid spills on these boards. Great video man
Thanks, I have only put together the type that comes with couplers to attach the top to the bottom. This saved me from having to wait for Edsal to send couplers.
FINALLY!!! If it had not been for your video, I might not have ever been able to assemble it. Even with your help, it wasn't easy. Actually, it was your video and CLAMPS that enabled me to succeed. I couldn't have done it without both. Why clamps? Well. despite many, many trips to my computer screen to see how you attached the top to the bottom, I COULD NOT DO IT. I NEEDED CLAMPS. Fortunately, I have have a large supply of them. That's what made the difference. Even so, if I had not seen you many times attach the top to the bottom, I might have given up. I might have thought that it was impossible. Fortunately, I had you to prove that it is not impossible. Thanks for salvaging the shelving unit from the trash can. Hey, wait a minute. After I finished, I started reading the comments, and I noticed--for the first time--the mention of "couplers." I then saw that I had assembled the shelves without using seven parts. I also noticed that you made no mention of them. What's going on? Well, I'll have to check that out...manana. The shelve are standing, and you didn't say anything at all about "couplers," so I'll investigate that matter tomorrow. I don't have enough energy left to do it today.
These are a PITA to put together but once they are assembled, they are pretty solid. I found the particle board was too weak for my needs so I had Lowes cut up some 4x8 melamine. Much stronger and makes a better product overall.
I just purchased this shelf yesterday and I’m trying to put it together. I watched the video, but I couldn’t make out I’d the side, front and back pieces when positioning them, the flat piece that sticks out is facing up and that’s what holds the shelves in place?
Thank you this was very helpful. I got mine also at Walmart. I'm in Florida and in late April of 2022 it cost me $110.00 for one! Wish I grabbed it at that 50 dollar price. Live and learn I guess. 😆
My experience assembling solo taught me that putting the top half on works better if I snug all 4 corners up on the lower half and then just loosen the corner I am working on. Secure it and then move on to a different corner. Adding the next higher beam and brace as I go. Seems to prevent knocking opposite corner off while hammering. My assessment is it may be easier with 2 people but could destroy the relationship so better to go at it solo! (but nbd because the box says it assembles easily in minutes!😏)
Thanks for the video. I was struggling trying to figure out how to connect the second set on top. Loadbearing did not make sense to me doing it the way you did it
OMG....I was so frustrated! The paper directions that came with the shelves were so inadequate. I spent hours trying to put the top and bottom together! Thanks for making this step by step video! You made it simple and it was put together in no time!
Thank you so much. I just finished putting together my shelf. My husband is going to be so surprised when he comes home and sees what I did all by myself. He may even think I have a boyfriend :-D
Thanks . I wanted to use theses shelves for books, but I wasn't sure how they'd look in terms of size and space. Your video and your mentioning the size gave the perspective I needed to order these shelves. Thanks for your help :-)
any tips how to take them apart? My husband put them together but then realized some of the posts are upside down. How do we separate them from the couplers?
Hey friend, great explanation, but, Do you know if I can make it smaller? I just bought it but it's almost reaching my ceilling, but I don't know if I can make it smaller. I'd really appreciate your help, buddy!
Who would have thought that 6 years later you’d be saving me from my frustration with this video. Thank you!!!
Happy to help!
Exactly. Same here 😂😂 💯
It's been 7 years since you uploaded. but still it's helpful. Thanks. Love from PORTUGAL.

I just bought 1 from Home Depot for $158.00. Thank you for your video. You saved me so much time and frustration.
The price has really gone up on these over the years hasn't it! Still a good storage option. I found mine at Home Depot "on sale" for $99.
This is the only helpful video I’ve come across. Thank you. I couldn’t figure out what side the braces point. You’re the only one who explained that the flat side needs to point up.

How's that again? Did it take you two hours or 45 minutes?

Lifesaver. The instructions in the box made NO sense whatsoever. Thank you 🙌🏾
Thanks for saving our marriage!
hahahahhahahahhahahahah... this made my morning smile
How you assembly horizontally
Oh my gosh! You made me bust out laughing!

I like flush, so stuff can't roll under it!

good tip to match up the sides for that little extra room. thanks.
You my friend are amazing! I was struggling with the second upright pieces.

Is there a way to “lock” the shelves so they don’t come apart when you lift them upwards trying to move them around?
WOW, your directions were perfect! We had it put together easily in about 20 minutes. Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions.
No problem! Happy to help :)
You made this look easy! Lol. I’m going to buy some racks for my pantry. Thanks for putting up this video.
You gave us a way to prevent a real big fight...thank you!
Excellent demo. Am about to assemble some right now. Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I just finished putting together my shelf. My husband is going to be so surprised when he comes home and sees what I did all by myself. He may even think I have a boyfriend :-D
ROFLMAO!! Happy to help!
Hi can you tell me if I can move a shelf up once it’s put together? Thanks
Thanks . I wanted to use theses shelves for books, but I wasn't sure how they'd look in terms of size and space. Your video and your mentioning the size gave the perspective I needed to order these shelves. Thanks for your help :-)
Always happy to help :)
any tips how to take them apart? My husband put them together but then realized some of the posts are upside down. How do we separate them from the couplers?
Nice work!!! How do you take them apart??? Can’t get connecting joints apart… Help
You can pull the top straight up after removing the shelves
Can these type shelves be mounted in garage on brick or other walls?
Hey friend, great explanation, but, Do you know if I can make it smaller?
I just bought it but it's almost reaching my ceilling, but I don't know if I can make it smaller.
I'd really appreciate your help, buddy!
