Take a good product and make it work better for you
After reading past reviews of the pros and cons of these "made in xxxxxxx" [not the USA], I decided to give this one a try. I was leery of possible breakage from shipping, but that turned out to be a non-event, because everything was very well packed for shipping. Putting the article together was not difficult at all. Long frame screws are hex head and they give you the allen wrench to do the job with. Knob screws are slotted but all you need to do is apply pressure with a finger and turn the knob to tighten it. Many people complained about the screws loosening after a while. Here is a simple solution: When you order this item also order either Henkel Corp 209728 Loctite Blue Threadlocker or Permatex 24200 Medium Strength Threadlocker Blue, 6 ml. Now here is how to do it: 1. Start assembling the item, but leave the top cover off and the wheels off. After all screws are in, tighten them snugly but not overly tight. 2. Now that all screws are holding the device together, remove one screw at a time. On the long screws, put a few drops of the threadlocker onto the bottom half of the threads. Just lightly coat the threads; be careful or it will drip all over because it is runny. 3. Now screw the screw back in place, but this time make it secure. start with the top-center screws, top side, bottom side, rotate the assembly and bottom center and rotate once more, then bottom & top of other side. Voila! The threadlocker will secure the screw threads to prevent slippage. Which means the screws will not easily come loose. 4. Put the wheels on and put the top cover in place now. 5. You can even use the threadlocker on the screws that hold the knobs in place. Again, insuring that they won't easily come loose. I didn't find any rough edges on the drawer slides, so I don't think I will experience a scraping/shaving of the shelves. It really looks good, and I am sure I am going to find it very useful. For anyone who uses it for heavier items, there is a way to make it sturdier. Get a big roll of 50 pound or 100 pound picture wire and a pair of ordinary pliers. On the back side of the assembly, tie a length of wire from top right to bottom left and another piece of wire from top left to bottom right. pull tight and twist the wire to make it extra snug. You have just made a brace for your shelving with inexpensive materials. Hope this helps some of you to take a good product and make it work better for you.
