Initially I purchased two wire shelving units for my shop. One unit is the Trinity 60” x 24” x 72” and the other is the Seville 60” x 24” x 72” (this unit). Before I purchased additional units, I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison.
After assembling them both and standing them together (both units on wheels), the most noticeable difference is that the Seville is slightly heavier built – about 15 pounds – due to the heavier wire diameter used.
They are the same height, same time to assemble and same approximate quality. I chose to purchase additional Seville units due to the heavier build. I can feel the difference by rolling the empty units across the floor.
This cart is a dream! I would love to buy another one, but don't have the room. It was easy to put together by myself, and is so beautiful! Very sturdy, and moves around easily. The top is a nice thick steel top, not flimsy in the least. The basket slides out either side, which is also handy.
I purchased it to put our SPT countertop dishwasher on. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MX8XO6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works beautifully for this purpose. It's heavy duty, and love that you can either use the wheels or without if you choose. I prefer it to have the locking wheels on, since I roll it over to the sink area when connecting the dishwasher. I wouldn't change a thing about it, it's perfect!
If they ever make this one in half the size, I'll order it immediately. I want it to put our Royal Berkey water filter on. I'd just buy this one again for that purpose if we had the room, but unfortunately, we don't. If anyone knows of a smaller stainless steel cart (preferably with wheels) please let me know in the comments. :)

I've had this for several months now, and I am quite happy with it. I wanted to share some information on putting this item together that might be helpful to others. First, the two half-round black plastic pieces that have to be put together around each corner for each shelf and the handle do not fit together perfectly nor do they need to as it turns out--something I wish I had known beforehand. Surprisingly enough, these plastic pieces will be covered (but not completely) by the shelf/handle providing a nice sturdy base for the shelf or handle. That was certainly not apparent when I started putting this together. Also, make sure you are putting these two pieces together and on the pole right. Each half has "top" marked on one end, but the word is embossed in the plastic which doesn't stand out greatly.
Next, there is no clear indication where exactly these plastic pieces go on the pole. I found that if I put the pieces together up a little higher than needed, pressed them into one another and slid them down the pole, they made a clearly heard and felt snapping sound so that you know they are in place.
Last, slide the shelf on gently and make sure the black plastic sleeves are all going inside the shelf holes. Just barely get them started so that all sides will go down smoothly once you are sure all the plastic sleeves are in place.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I couldn't tell which way the bottom shelves went on--side pieces up as a mini tray or down. If I had come to the site I would have seen "up" like a mini tray was the answer by looking at the photo. The drawing included does not clearly show it, however. There is also writing on the corners which is right side up this way--dead give away, so, okay, I am an idiot.
Overall I'm impressed with the quality of the materials. The cart is quite sturdy in an industrial chic kind of way. If you are looking for a delicate-looking piece, this is not the one for you. I saw that there are some grayish plastic inserts that can be purchased separately if you want to prevent things from falling through the holes in the shelves. That would really take away from the look for me. If I find I need something, I will have glass or plexiglass cut for it. At this point, I am using it as my coffee bar and have nothing that will fall through.
I saw some reviews mentioning product damage on arrival. Mine was in perfect shape. It was well packed with one box inside another for extra protection. All pieces were included and in perfect condition. I was able to easily put this together by myself despite the less than ideal directions.
If I didn't feel a need to prevent others from some initial confusion as they push those plastic pieces together only to find that that other side separates, I'd give this five stars.
I bought 2 of these plus the locking caster wheels. The first one took too long to assemble following the instructions to install the shelf first. The the plastic locks kept popping off before I could get another flopping leg seated.
The second assembly went much quicker.
I turned the top upside down on the floor.
Then, I installed all four legs, tapping them down with a soft blow mallet. Then I slipped the shelf over the legs and installed the optional casters. I placed a box slightly taller than my desired shelf height in the floor and flipped over the table allowing the shelf to rest on the box. I then installed all the plastic locks by gently lifting each shelf corner. Moved the table off the box and allowed all four shelf corners to seat. Tap each corner of the shelf with a soft mallet and done! Much much simpler
I bought this cart to use with my Kitchen Aid mixer. My plan was to store the mixer on the cart and roll it out when I wanted to use the mixer. It is getting harder every year to lift the mixer, and I wanted a cart that was sturdy enough for me to mix the heaviest dough without vibration. This cart is perfect for what I wanted. When Seville describes it as heavy duty, they mean it. It is so easy and intuitive to put together, you can do it in about 10 minutes without the directions. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a heavy duty cart.

I’ve been upgrading all our cabinets with pull out drawers. This particular cabinet was for our coffee and tea bar. My top shelves are removable so this made for even easier installation. I installed the two top sliding organizers side by side onto the shelf while I had it on the counter. I marked the location of the screws first and drilled pilot holes a bit smaller than the diameter of the screws. This helped in attaching the sliding mechanism and not damaging the shelf. Once I placed the shelf back into the cabinet, they both slid softly and easily in and out. It is so easy to keep all out different teas and coffees organized and be able to find everything that is even towards the back!
More heavy duty than I expected. Bought it as a stand for my Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven. It holds it and a 20LB propane tank perfectly. Also got a Weber 6553 Premium Cover for Weber Q-300 Grill to cover it. Fits great.
I purchased the Small cart, and put it together, by myself, and it was hard; you definitely need a rubber mallet. I didn't have one, so used heavy pliers, wrapped in towel. I got it put together and my fav part of this cart is that the wheels will "unscrew" as needed to level the cart. My floor wasn't even, but with being able to unscrew one wheel it is not rocking, and is stable. It rolls very easily. My picture shows the exact height, with wheels. There were extra clips and no explanation as to why, I can only guess it is in case another breaks. There are legs that screw in, like the wheels, in case you don't want to have the wheels, they have the level capability as well. I had to cut open the box, I could not figure out how to open it. It is a very heavy box. Once I had it unpacked, the pieces themselves were not too heavy to handle.
These slide out drawers were great to make it easy get to items in a low kitchen cabinet. They made more storage available without having to take things out of the front to get to the back. The shelf is quite sturdy and should last a long time even with heavy items.
I would advise installers to ignore the installation template. I found it impossible, reaching at odd angles to drill pilot holes that ended up aligning with the shelf. I suggest simply putting the shelf where you want it and marking one hole. Drill the pilot and screw in the shelf with that one screw, then drill the other holes using the shelf itself as the template. That way the holes are exactly where they need to be.
Worth every cent. I've spent a lot of time searching for good "utility" shelving and this really does the trick. I tried building shelves like this from wood and they didn't come close and cost almost as much. Also used a lot of wood/particle board bookshelves, but those really weren't cut out for the kind of stuff I needed to put on a shelf. AFAIK, this is the biggest version they sell with wheels, and is perfect for a garage. I bought another smaller version to put in my basement. Wish I could have fit one of the bigger versions but the ceiling wasn't really high enough.
I've attached the casters/wheels which make the whole unit fairly mobile if it's on a smooth floor (concrete in my case). On rough floor, if heavily loaded, I'd be very nervous to push this shelve back-and-forth (side-to-side would be fine). I can imagine a wheel could catch on a crack and tip over.
My shelves were packed very smartly, such that none of the parts could bang around. Felt bad for the FedEx guy who dragged this to my front porch (it's super heavy and big). All parts seem fairly well made, and had some weight to them. We'll see how the metal holds up over time, but it seems to actually be steel. I didn't have much trouble building this by myself, but I'm big and tall, and it would have been much easier with a second person. If you do end of doing this by yourself the key is to install the first shelf with the whole unit on it's side. Once you have the first shelf installed, the unit can be turned vertical and will stand freely. Then you install the clips at the right height, and slide the next shelve on from the top (which is where two people would really help). Others suggested taping the clips in place, which might be be helpful, but didn't seem necessary to me. By myself this took about 30 min for me to build.
I have no reason to doubt the load rating on these shelves. I tried standing on the 2nd shelf as I assembled it. I'm about 240lb, and while the shelf deflected a little, it bounced right back. There is a truss/triangle reinforcement down the length of each shelf which makes a big difference. That being said, the wire design of it means that heavy point loads will probably bend the individual wires. If you keep dumbells/weights, car parts, heavy tools, etc, you definitely want to put some thick plywood underneath. I don't think I'd call this an "industrial" shelf. You don't want to store a V-8 engine on it, and you won't be forklifting pallets on to it. But certainly is commercial grade (perhaps for a restaurant or retail shop/storage). Just remember, if it doesn't travel in a regular cardboard box that you can carry yourself it probably doesn't belong on this shelf.
