This rack was essential in my home. We share a house with my in laws and storage is a big issue for me. We do not have a basement or a attic so everything needs to find a place within our living quarters. I may have a tiny bit of an online shopping / hoarding problem and these shelves just helped me store a bunch of my stuff. I was skeptical that such a small box could hold a 5 tier wire shelf but it sure did. I have a similar shelf in my camper and it was super easy to assemble just like this one is. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. It was easy for me to line all the shelves up even because on the poles there are a bunch of rings for the clips to sit into. Every so often there is a double ring I would just count how many spaces from the double ring I wanted and place the clip there. It worked perfectly. I would suggest u just lightly place the shelves on the clips till you are sure everything is placed how u like it. I found after placing all the shelves that I wanted the piece with the hooks on it more toward the middle.
