The analysis

At 35.6 cm wide, this unit takes up 2,139.56 cm² of floor, a footprint narrow enough for a gap beside a fridge or at the end of a run of kitchen units. The 60.1 cm depth is what decides how far anything placed on a shelf can sit, up to that distance from the front edge.

The five shelves are height adjustable across the 152.4 cm total height, so the gap between any two of them can be set to match what is stored, from tall boxes to flat trays, rather than fixing five equal tiers from the start.

The maker states a 90.7 kg load capacity and includes levelling feet for uneven floors. It does not publish how that load is distributed across the five shelves, nor the length of the guarantee or how long assembly takes. There are no wheels: once placed, moving the unit means lifting it.

In favour

  • Height-adjustable shelves fit what is being stored, not a fixed layout
  • Levelling feet correct for uneven floors in a kitchen or garage
  • Alloy steel structure with a declared 90.7 kg load capacity

Against

  • No wheels: repositioning the unit means lifting it, not rolling it
  • The maker does not publish how the 90.7 kg load is distributed per shelf, nor the guarantee length

Best for: Anyone who needs five adjustable shelves to fit a narrow 35.6 cm gap and does not plan to move the unit once it is placed.
