Summary: Vefry simple, does the job
Comment: I bought these to more neatly stack my firewood. They are very simple in design and I could have jut built a box frame to do the same job. However, these made it a little easier. I like the idea of the being stackable. It didn't suit my needs this time, but a nice option. I'd certainly buy them again

Summary: The Secret to this item is . . .
Comment: You really need 2 sets of these (4 total individual brackets) to make something useful. But with those 4 brackets, you can do more than the instructions (and some of the reviewers) tell you about and avoid some of the problems mentioned.
First and foremost, get 4 8-foot 2x4"s. These will be the vertical struts for a 2-layer storage unit. Then get 4 sections of 2x4 cut to fit your needs - cut to the width you want for your unit. I used 5' lengths, bought 2 10 ft 2x4s and had them cut in half.
When you assemble the units, don't pay too much attention to screwing in the horizontal (in my case, 5 ft) lengths from below. I suggest placing small pieces of 2x4 in the vertical slots, butt up the 5' horizontal 2x4s, drill a hole in the ends of the 2x4s and attach to the plastic strut with a 2.5" weatherproof decking screws. This eliminates a lot of fussing with the supplied screws that are supposed to go in underneath. If you wish to add those, which I consider optional, you can flip the structure over and do those for the bottom shelf once the unit has been assembled with the decking screws (not supplied).
Then, with bottom shelf positioned on the ground, take 2 of the 8 ft. 2x4s and shove them through the 2nd set of plastic racks, 2 at a time, so the plastic racks now serve as temporary spacers for mounting the 2 sets of vertical 2x4s. Now measure the height you want for the 2nd shelf, mark the vertical struts, slide the plastic spacers/supports up or down to the desired height and screw them into the 8 ft 2x4s. Then place the 2nd set of 5 ft horizontal shelf pieces on the plastic lips of the spacers, butt them up against the vertical wood, and again drill holes and attach with decking screws. For the 2nd shelf, forget about screwing underneath. It is superfluous.
Now you have, with 2 cuts, a double-decker shelf. If you wish to make it a bit more sturdy, place a 2x4 cut to size down the middle of each shelf, attaching it to the plastic from above with the drilling and decking screw method.
Again, this product was not really made to be used as a single decker. The double shelving gives great support. For the final support, use a bracket arm or two to attach this structure to an abutting fence, garage wall, etc. Then start stacking. Very sturdy shelving - for firewood or anything else that will fit on a 16" wide shelf. And easy to disassemble if and when you need to.

Summary: Great product, but you need two sets
Comment: I originally purchased this item from The Sportsmans Guide (You can get 2 sets there for about $18.00!) and the second set, which allows you to make a shelf halfway up, makes it very stable; much better thn just the one set at the bottom.
I have made 2 racks, each with shelves (so used 4 sets altogether), both 8 feet long. Be sure to use 4 horizontal 2x4's instead of the 3 shown in the instructions, and it helps to also place two additional pieces of 2x4's on top of each other together, to form a a 3 inch thick piece, that you can place underneath and in the middle of the bottom, so you have more support for the long 2x4's. I have done this and it's worked like a charm, and am very happy.
