I'm 80 yeas old and had enlisted the aid of a neighbor in assembling this shelving. Then I did a Google search and found your video. Right after watching it, I went out and put the thing together in about forty minutes by myself, although my unit is larger than the one you showed. The only problem I had was standing up again after kneeling or squatting down, not to mention dealing with DC's abominable heat and humidity this time of year, especially with the sun beaming down on the shed. Thank you kindly; you did a splendid job of demonstrating "how to do it yourself". The only thing I did differently from your video was to assemble the shelving in two sections so I wouldn't have to reach up as high to use all the shelves. Thanks again for your simple, straight-forward explanation.
+Thurman Woodfork Oh, I didn't need the couplers because I divided the shelving into two shorter (in height) units. That also means I was short four caps, but I can live with that.
Awesome Thurman. I am only in my 50's and squatting is out of the question and kneeling can only stand up with a hand push or pull off something- and I am in good shape generally. Just need to do more stretching again... Hope you are still doing well!
Only took 6 atrocious videos filmed in portrait with awful editing and audio before I found this one that is clear, easy to understand, easy to see, and doesn't contain literally 9 minutes of random waffle. Many thanks.
This was incredibly helpful. My shelves have sat for a year unassembled because I got frustrated with instructions that we're unclear. After watching your video I now now that I am missing the couplers! Thank you again!
Thank you so much!! I have this exact shelf that was disassembled by others at my last house & now I have to assemble it. I had no idea where to start. This was exactly what I needed. I appreciate your method of instruction!
Reading the directions of my metal shelf wasn't clear for me but I TH-cam directions & found your video. I know you made this awhile back but it works, thanks for the clear & better directions.
The instructions that came with mine were incredibly unclear. After watching your video, though, I was immediately able to put the thing together with no issues. Thank you!
This was a very helpful video. I was having a hard time finding a video that showed the step by step process for the smaller shelving by edsal, and couldn't figure out how to manage with the included directions. After watching this, I put it together in about 30 to 40 minutes.
You are a life saver! I was ready to pull my hair out, but I found your video. My problem was how to install the couplers. Thank you so much for this video! 😍
A HUGE help. Thanks so much, I was able to bang out 5 of these buggers after watching this, without too much trouble. My shelves came with no instructions so thank you.
+ iScraper1 Thank you for providing clear and concise instructions for the construction of these shelves. The shelves did not come with instructions and without this I would not have been able to put these together.
A big THANK YOU! First video that was precise! Until your video, I did not know what to do with the coupler. No matter which video I chose they left that part out so thank you :-)
Thank you. The couplers had us a bit stumped because they wouldn't go on. Your video gave me the confidence that we were doing it right, and that they just needed a bit more force. I ended up using a flat head screwdriver to ever so slightly pry the end of the coupler apart just so I could get it started, then I crimped them back tightly once they were in place. Thanks again. 😊
Look like very easy assembling, thank you. we have been made one machine for making rack shelf without screw bulk rack, but is light style for home using only.
I'm a single girl and am putting my 5 tier shelf together. I'll get the blasted thing together eventually! Thank you for the video. The instructions I got had some pictures but the instructions were in Korean. Not one of the languages I speak. Your video has been very helpful! Thank you.
Does anyone know if and where I can get just the post couplers? I got my shelves from Craigslist used, disassembled and don't have them. I can't find any couplers yet
Both you and my instruction sheet say to add the post coupler "with the slot pointing down" but I have no clue what either of you mean. The couplers in my kit are not symmetric about the ground plane, so it seems like it matters a lot which way they go. The only thing I can identify as a "slot" is a thin punch near the middle on both halves of the 90° coupler. The punch forms a tab attached at only one end. It's not obvious to me which way would be "facing down."
is it necessary to skip the bottom slot? I'm asking because on the unit I purchase, skipping that slot prevents me from getting the spacing between shelves I want since the middle shelf is non-negotiable/holds the top to the bottom.
+Stephanie Kolaczkowski The assembly instructions say to skip the bottom slot. I'm not sure if the double brace would be a problem hitting the floor in the bottom slot. You could try it and see.
I cannot get the board to fit into the assembled shelf. It used to fit prior to moving. Could the shelf have expanded in the weather or something? It’s off by a couple of millimeters but if I force it the shelf rips where the pressure point is. I’m so frustrated with this. It should be totally straight forward where the shelf should just fit the rectangle opening but it won’t go down flush. Any suggestions from anyone?
Help! I wasn't paying attention and royally messed up in the following ways: a) the couplers are facing the wrong direction (hooked on from the outside, not the inside) and b) three of the posts on the upper half are facing the wrong direction :-( How do I remove the posts once they've already been fully inserted into the couplers???
Nice that these couplers worked. The couplers with the Muscle shelving which look identical to these were worthless. I couldn't get the couplers to insert in the uprights. In fact I had 3 kits and the couplers in none of these kits worked! Nonetheless, this is nice video.
I had so much trouble keeping the shelves in the slots after linking them . I had to use duct tape to hold them in. I had so many little cuts on my hand afterwards.
What if the couplings don't want to go on? I destroyed my rubber mallet trying to pound, yes, pound the coupling on to even 1 post. I'm going to be writing to edsal and I'm going to blast them for a garbage product.
I just bought the husky shelving. The couplers go on the outside of the braces supposedly. I beat them with a hammer and they WILL NOT SEAT halfway. I'm 60 and adept at figuring things out but this system, as stated before me, leaves a lot to be desired. Oh yeah, Husky on the box and another name on the assistance phone number. Of course they are closed today, July 3rd. God bless America and ty to all vets serving now and past.
I didn't get any couplers with mine. I would need at least 4 hands to put it together without them...Also, "tapping" the shelf braces into the slots is impossible. I'm having to beat them into submission with a piece of wood and a hammer.There is no other way to make them go down into the slot. Maybe I'm just not buff enough to "tap" that hard...Guess I have to build my shelves work bench style. It's not how I want it to be, but it's better than nothing. I've always been good at this kind of thing, but putting together this shelving system truly sucks.
I'm a chick too, Patty. I had to wrangle mine but it's coming together. I'm using a plastic mallet, that might help. I got mine at the dollar store. I think the plastic mallet helps.
There is no way you can put these shelves together by yourself. Also the beams don’t line up correctly and the bolts don’t move into the wholes. I spent four hours trying to do this by myself. Impossible!
I lost my job of 24 years essentially because I never learned how to assemble these exact shelves. I am not a handyman at all and nobody taught me how to assemble these.

Your explanation including the proper method of installing the "couplers" was invaluable! Thanks!
No way I would have figured this out without you. Love the internet.
Only took 6 atrocious videos filmed in portrait with awful editing and audio before I found this one that is clear, easy to understand, easy to see, and doesn't contain literally 9 minutes of random waffle. Many thanks.
Thanks Simon, I appreciate the feedback on how the video was made.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We would never have figured out the couplers if it hadn't been for your video. Saved us lots of frustration!
Thank you so much!!
I have this exact shelf that was disassembled by others at my last house & now I have to assemble it. I had no idea where to start. This was exactly what I needed. I appreciate your method of instruction!

Excellent video for this product I just purchased. I used common sense about the couplers but nothing like a good visual aid. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Very in formative and simple caught on quick... thanks for the info
very easy step-by-step instruction. Even I could follow you and do it 👍thank you .
Glad it helped!
Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share your knowledge with us. Greetings from Croatia.
Hello Croatia, thanks for watching!

A HUGE help. Thanks so much, I was able to bang out 5 of these buggers after watching this, without too much trouble. My shelves came with no instructions so thank you.
Great video and most helpful. The movers took my five shelving units apart, and I didn't want to pay them over $100 to put them back together.
Good, I'm glad the video saved you some money.

Excellent video! Exactly what I was looking for!!
Great - really clear -I didn't have a clue where to start
Great video, thanks. Any idea where I can get replacement couplers? I can't find them on the net. Thanks.
I would guess they're going to be hard to find. Maybe email the company.
I didnt know how to fix it until i saw this video, thanks alot
thank you, very clear instructions
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, This video was helpful.❤
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful! Just finished mine...
Great!
Thanks for the help!
Happy to help!
Thanks so much, It was really helpful 👍🏻
Thanks to video I was able to put together mine.
Does anyone know if and where I can get just the post couplers? I got my shelves from Craigslist used, disassembled and don't have them. I can't find any couplers yet
I need them also! Please post where you or anyone finds them, thanks
I need them as well.
Zoltan I broke down and just bought stainless bolts washers and nuts. Two per connecting rod and it’s perfect
Thank you for your helpful video.
Very helpful...a lot easier to follow than the enclosed directions with mine.
How do i remove the couplers once assembled? very hard to remove
Do you have any info about how to do it? I need to disassemble it and I couldn't find the way!
Both you and my instruction sheet say to add the post coupler "with the slot pointing down" but I have no clue what either of you mean.

It's not obvious to me which way would be "facing down."
Do you know what can I do to remove the couplers once assembled? I need to make to smaller shelves and I couldn't find the way to remove them!
I think you can just pound them up and off with a hammer.
How much weight capacity for this product? Tks
Thanks to you I'm not beating my shelving to pieces with a rubber mallet, it didn't come with any instructions. 😂
Yeah wtf, no instructions. Making Ikea look good
is it necessary to skip the bottom slot? I'm asking because on the unit I purchase, skipping that slot prevents me from getting the spacing between shelves I want since the middle shelf is non-negotiable/holds the top to the bottom.
+Stephanie Kolaczkowski
The assembly instructions say to skip the bottom slot. I'm not sure if the double brace would be a problem hitting the floor in the bottom slot. You could try it and see.
Mine didn't come with the couplers so I used one the shelves to make it work I'll try and hit up a menards or home depot to see if they sell them
Yes! Good explanation.
What tool is alternative than a rubber mallet?
Hammer and a block of wood.
thank you for this sharing 🥰
Thanks for watching!
Id like to know the max weight each level (shelf) can hold please.
4 post couplers didn't come with mine so how would you combine them?
You need the couplers, I would return the shelving.
Can this also be set up as two smaller racks?
Yes, just don't use the couplers provided.
Thanks for the video !!!! I received mine with no instructions at all !!!!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How much it cost?
Thank you! 👍🏻
Thanks Dane for watching.
Short and sweet

Maybe flip the board over, rotate 180 degrees, or try it on another shelf.

Glad it helped!

MONISA MONTOYA
Did you have the small part of the keyholes in the uprights pointing down? The shelf brackets should tap right in and stay in position.
Very helpful
Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU!!!
Welcome!
wow thank you so much! =)
thanks for the assist ... better than reading ;-)
My uncle lost my instructions and he says its missing some parts. Does anyone have a list of the parts that was included?
Thank you!!!
Welcome!
Thank you!
Does anyone know if glass could be applied to the shelving?
NO!!!!!!! Wtttfff
I accidently put the second shelf on backwards and now I can't get the pieces dissassembled, ideas?
Rubber mallet.
How much the metal shelves?
If I remember right the shelving cost around $80.
Nice video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
What if the couplings don't want to go on? I destroyed my rubber mallet trying to pound, yes, pound the coupling on to even 1 post. I'm going to be writing to edsal and I'm going to blast them for a garbage product.
+Studa Baker
I had to bend the upright edges a bit to get them started in the slots of the couplings, but maybe you have bad couplings.
I ended up boxing everything up and taking it back to Home Depot. I will never buy another Edsal product again.
+Studa Baker
Sorry to hear about all the trouble you had with your shelves.

Hmmm. I wonder if you got some bad couplers, mine installed easily.
good vid A+
At this late date, is it possible to order a set of couplers?

Great 👍🏻
Thanks. I lost the directions. Looked at the pieces thinking I could do without but then my mind went blank and nothing made sense.
POST COUPLERS??? Where did you get those - they didn't come with my piece O'Scheiße!
I have no mallet 😭😭😭 afraid to use hammer
A block of wood works too.
Tq
I bought one from Lidl and it was almost impossible for me to assemble. I had to get help from my boss :L
Is this the one you can get in B&Q?
The piece of shit shelving unit I bought didn’t include the couplers.
Trying to figure out how to attach the third and fourth shelf. Ugh.
I would return it, you need the couplers.
@@Iscaper I bought it like three years ago and never assembled jt. I found them on eBay for $30.

Shit I don't have couplers with my shelves. My landlord gave them to me and took them apart and brought everything.
I made it myself thanks to woodprix website.
hm.
Dont like it
That's not metal shelving bone head
