I recently switched from using traditional shelf storage to the Akro-Mils 30136 Heavy Duty Wall Mount system for my workspace, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. Here’s a detailed review based on my experience: Delivery and Customer Service: My initial order of four sets arrived with some damage due to shipping, which was disappointing. However, the customer service at Akro-Mils was prompt and efficient in handling this issue. They replaced the damaged units quickly and without any hassle, which was a relief and greatly appreciated. Product Quality and Installation: Once the replacement units arrived, installation was straightforward. The wall mounts are built to be sturdy and can hold a significant amount of weight, which is excellent for various tools and parts. They work seamlessly with all compatible Akro-Mils storage bins, which snap into place easily and stay secure. Space Efficiency: The most significant advantage of the Akro-Mils 30136 Wall Mount system is the amount of space it saves. Previously, I used Home Depot storage bins on shelves which took up a lot of room. By switching to these wall-mounted units, I’ve saved about 75% of room, which has made my working area much more organized and accessible. This system allows for vertical storage solutions that maximize the use of wall space, freeing up floor or shelf space for other uses. Cost vs. Value: While the initial cost might seem a bit high, the value of the space saved and the efficiency it brings to organizing tools and components justify the investment. For anyone with limited space or looking to tidy up a cluttered workshop, these wall mounts are well worth the expenditure. Overall Experience: Overall, I am very satisfied with the Akro-Mils 30136 Heavy Duty Wall Mount system. Despite the initial hiccup with the shipping damage, the quality of the product and the customer service were impressive. These wall mounts have transformed my storage setup, making it more organized and accessible than ever before. I plan to post a photo later to show how these look in use, but for anyone considering a reliable, space-saving storage solution, I highly recommend this system. It’s a practical investment that pays off in the efficiency and cleanliness of your workspace.

Very sturdy, useful, and lots of storage space, and looks great. One of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. I was able to take 2 totes full of painting supplies, screws, nails, etc and get it all organized with this system. I went with the 18x61 size and it works so well. I know some have mentioned that theirs has been damaged in shipping, but mine came in perfect shape and well packaged - even got a day earlier than originally thought. Thank you!

I put this panel up in the hall way leading to my office. I mapped out where the studs were using a stud finder and marked those with a pencil. The holes in the panel match up to the studs which makes mounting a breeze. There were no bolts included in the package so I had to use my own. I mounted and leveled it and put the bins on and started filling them up. They work great and seem very sturdy.

It’s made out of heavy duty metal, although one corner was bent when I opened the box. Nothing a pair of lineman’s couldn’t fix. Took me about 30 min to hang both. Each one has 12 bolt holes. I had to use drywall clamps rated for 100lbs each. (I use them to hang TVs) They look great and feel sturdy. I purchased two because some of the reviews said it would only hold 12. I have 24 in that pic with room for a few more. Looks like I’ll have to buy some More containers! Product is great and it’s a good buy for any garage. Will purchase more in the future!

It is pretty sturdy if you drill into the studs of the wall

Maybe they they read older reviews, had a lot of returns and beefed up the packaging. Maybe my Amazon delivery team was just really good. Mine arrived in excellent condition. As shown in the photo, the manufacturer has reinforced the edge of the package with about 3" of folded over and ridged cardboard. I had no bent edges or bends in the middle. I got it mounted up in about 5 minutes by setting it on a sideways 2x6 and fastening the top middle screw, then leveling it and filling in most of the rest of the mounting holes. The middle rows of bright blue bins are new Akro units, the rest I've had for many years, but they fit just fine. I am happy with this purchase. This is not a cheap unit, but I don't deduct stars for price. Based on what I estimated I would have to do to manually create metal mounting points for this many bins, it was just much easier to buy and install this unit. 20250801 ETA: I purchased two of the 36-Inch W x 19-Inch H units for additional storage elsewhere. They were shipped via UPS (not Amazon delivery), and both arrived in separate boxes and in excellent shape. Still happy with this item and my deliveries of the product. Will (probably) add pics of those once I get them mounted and arranged.

Holds lots of bins.

What showed up looked just like the picture. My mind was blown. I liked these so much i hung them in my shop
