Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 5G73 FastTrack 47-1/2 Inch Upright

Customer Review: Great shelving system!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this shelving system in pieces to use in my cargo trailer. I wanted a system I could customize and that would be lightweight and sturdy at the same time. This has been in my trailer now for over a year and has survived bumpy NY roads and long cross country hauls. It handles the loads I put on the shelves even when I don't do it so gingerly. They even survive the shelving loads, strapped down and bouncing! These are really sturdy! I would recommend using at least one screw to secure the bottoms of the vertical hangers to keep them from shifting if you are using these in a application such as mine. I know these are not designed for my use but you wouldn't know it from the way they handle! I get compliments from other people with cargo haulers looking for something similar. Great product!

Customer Review: Great product at the best price.
Summary: 5 Stars

We decided to organize our garage and began by checking our options on line. We were able to find some of the parts at our local do it yourself type stores. Once we started we wanted to finish, so we checked on line at many different sites. All were far more expensive and shipping was outrageous. Amazon came to the rescue again. Shipping was free with super saver and the product was at a far better price then anywhere else we checked. Thanks Amazon. We have the most organized garage on the block. Great product.

Customer Review: A complete rip off!
Summary: 1 Stars

My first complaint is about the ambiguity of the product description. You don't know if you're ordering one, or one set of three (the number of uprights you would need to put up a shelf). I understand that the product is only referred to as singular in the description, but it's not far fetched to think it would mean one set. You need more than one to even hang something, so why sell it separate? I suspect so they can charge you 11 bucks a rail.

That leads me to my second complaint, the price. At 11 dollars and change you've already spent over 33 bucks and you still haven't bought the shelves, or 16" brackets that hold the shelves, and I would guess that those are sold separately as well, at almost 7 dollars a bracket. I like the other Rubbermaid FastTrak items, but the shelving system is extremely over priced. Save some money and go a different route.

Once I received my ONE rail in the mail I decided not to waste anymore money on the FastTrack shelving system.
