Cheap garage shelving units at Makro

I was looking for cheap shelving units for my garage and found some great 5 shelf units in Makro (Bristol) at £20+VAT. Dimensions are 1800mm (height), 900mm (width) and 450mm Depth. The best price I could find for these units elsewhere was £45 on eBay. They're also selling packs of 3 collapsable boxes for £3.99+VAT which are ideal for putting on your new shelves!

They are boltless so are very easy to put together, all you need is a rubber mallet or (what I used) a hammer and block of wood (to stop the hammer marking the metal. It took me 25 mins to do the first 1 and 15 mins for the rest and as the metal is coated it won't rust.
Don't blame me, it was like that when I got here!

    These shelves (the heavy gray metal ones, right?) are often in Makro mail at £9.99+vat (like when I bought 4 of them 3 weeks or so ago) so I'd recommend keeping an eye out for the reduction rather than buying them at £20.

    Arrrgggghhhh don't tell me that! I thought they were excellent quality for 20 quid, but for a tenner they're a steal! I'll keep my eye out for the next offer and kit out the rest of the garage!

    Thanks for the tip!
