It is older heavy duty rack, not bent [do NOT buy bent rack, it will hurt you] the paint is crappy, so it's not pretty, but it's solid. I got the whole batch for $350. Later went back and bought more cross beams [to make more shelves.. another $250. So, all in $600. You need a helper to set up the racking.. don't try 12 ft uprights by yourself..
