I bought one. It's exactly what you expect. Light metal, easy to assemble and small. Perfect for what i wanted it for.
Took about 10 minutes to put together with stopping to sneak Christmas cookies, drink, answer text messages and throw the tennis ball for the dog. It is a bit more stable than i expected, but still needs to get a few screws into the wall. there are no pre drilled holes to fasten it to the wall.
I put all but one shelf on upside down. A plus to this is that it forms a tray to keep stuff from rolling off. the downside is that this leaves the corner screws exposed. So watch your skin and easily damaged items in the corners if you do the same.
I grabbed about the heaviest loose thing i could find and threw it on there. It's an NP231 transfer case for my jeep. Googling confirms my guesstimate weight of 75 pounds. the sharp corners of the case left some small dimples on the shelf, but nothing overly concerning. I wouldn't leave it there for any long periods, but there was no apparent bowing and it was still just as stable.
I may stop by tomorrow to pick up another and add just the shelves to this one. There is a lot of space between shelves that will be wasted.
For $15 i'm happy. it's small, light and has a good amount of storage for the foot print. Is it ideal for a large shop? probably not. But in my 2 car garage/shed/shop it will do just fine.
nah.. as much as I love Ikea, get some real shelving. Go look at some pallet racks!
Ha! my little 2 car garage would be one big shelf and i would be back to working outside!
