Ok. So I read some of the other reviews before buying. It is the size I need and looks sturdy, and I am so happy I purchased this. Some other reviewers griped about the sizes of cans this rack holds. I can assure you that this holds standard cans and a wide variety of other sizes as well. To help you out, I included photos. For your reference, the refried beans are the standard sized cans in the photos.The photo with a lot of cans shows the wide range of sizes the rack accommodates. The jumbo sized cans only fit on the top rack, but the point is - they fit! The little tomato paste can fits too - with wiggle room. And the tiny can of chilies can fit two across, but it is not the best use of the space.I also included a photo of the cans that do not fit. Tuna and cat food, most “hearty” soups, and any cans taller than the beans by more than a rim will not fit. You can see the “hearty” store brand soup sits askew in the rack. Other, shorter soups did fit, see that photo.It also fits well between the support bars of our wire pantry shelves, and with room to spare.It does not load from behind. It front loads or you can side load standard or smaller cans, so you have to pull out the older cans to rotate your stock, especially in the middle racks.I like this thing a lot. It’s exactly what we needed and I am glad I bought two. It is completely cleaning up that lower pantry area. All win.Hope this review was helpful to you!UPDATE : I got the updated version which includes more height space between the rows. It's very much improved! All of my cans of many different sizes easily slide in and out. Very happy!I purchased this to replace a 3-tier rack I previously had. All other racks seem to only offer 2, 3 or 6 levels. This 5-level rack would be perfect for the space I needed to organize. It assembled quickly and feels solid. However, the clearance between the tiers are a tad bit too small. My previous 3-tier rack was perfect in this regard, but I just needed more levels. Most cans need to be wiggled in unless you only buy Campell's cans. Part of this reason is due to the construction of the rows, there is a lower piece of the metal that sticks out a tiny bit...I'm going to bend them all to get a little more room. But with that being said, this was the best I could find for the size. Hopefully my modification will make it a 5-star.There we're Parts on it though we're bent and it wasn't due to packaging it was actually put in its box at the factory this way you will not buy from this company ever again this is the second thing that I bought that was poorly and cheaply madeMy only complaint is that the “trays” that the cans sit on are not secured to the frame in any way. It is really easy for them to get knocked off when adding or removing cans. Kind of a pain. But it serves my purposes. Thinking about zip tying them in place. Probably going to be too lazy to do it and just deal with the silly things popping off.The way the product is built, you are unable to add cans from the back (so it rotates oldest to newest) as you would expect. The backside is not wide enough between shelves to fit a can. Only the front side can fit a can. Therefore it makes it difficult to rotate properly (oldest to newest so you are using up your older cans first). Aside from that, it fits 5 standard size cans in each row. You can add the cans from the side of the holder if necessary. It is sturdy and works well.Only thing is I forgot to measure and they are too big but holds just what I wanted it to hold! A Very nice product, and sturdy!I checked the dimensions before buying, but once I received it and put it together it didn't fit in my cabinet. If I turned it sideways it would fit but that won't work correctly. So I was able to bend it a little to get it to fit into the cabinet and hammered it back so it was more sturdy. It is a little wobbly not but serves it's purpose. Needless to say, when I move I will have to leave it because it won't be coming out in one piece.The shelving needs clips to hold in place. If you your shelves are too tight and overlap don’t get bigger screws the rods are just screwed in wrong side. The indentation should curve around bar. If it’s opposite the shelving will be to wide. Directions should say this. There are only pictures. Lacks clips like other racks that keep shelves attached and together.The product materials are cheap, the instructions are terrible and it came with 2 missing screws and a missing pole. I was excited to finally organize the extra cans but ended up frustrated and deceived by the product. I contacted Amazon for a suitable resolution. Honestly do not waste your money on the product. I tried to put it together regardless and found out that it doesn't seem as though the poles are long enough to even hold the shelves. Terrible design.This was as advertised. It was so easy to put together. I like the removable shelf idea. Each level has three separate units so you can lift out to rotate stock. Perfect for the pantry. Make sure to measure as cans lg are higher on top then the shelf. Great value for the money. Quick delivery.I would have thought the shelves would have been more sturdy: they’re only disposed on the rack, they’re not fixed in any way. It feel a little shaky. But it supports the weight well though.I assembled according to directions and the whole unit was crooked! back legs don't touch the table, "shelves" are on a slant, nothing lines up properly....and it was a simple screw and hole assembly.... VERY dissapointed for 39.99$Bien pour le prix malgré une petite étroitesse qui a fallu arriver ranger avec des espaceurs sur un côté
