Delivery and purchase was great. Item is a bit tricky to put together until you work out a system. All holes in racking had to be eased open/ widened with a tool to allow side bars to fit in properly.... See more

Tufferman Shelving
Easy to order, prompt delivery by DPD.
Found the enclosed instructions a bit unclear, but found a Google video which made it much clearer to understand.
Easy to assemble and good shelving for my needs

Great service, speedy delivery...
Great service, website very easy to use.
Able to choose products and pay very quickly.
Price of the products was good and competitive compared to other companies.
Delivery was very prompt and the delivery time slot was pretty much bang on to when they said they would deliver the parcels to my home address.
Will definitely use again once I've built my next shed...

Excellent product
Excellent product. Easy to erect with the help of a rubber hammer and a youtube video. Looks the part. If you have the space I would recommend 600mm x 1200mm x 1800mm.

Sturdy product exceptionally easy to assemble
We are so delighted with the garage shelving which arrived very quickly after we ordered it.
My husband and I are not DIY people and had been discussing the need for some garage shelving for the last couple of years but didn't quite know how to go about it. That is until, quite by chance, we saw the TV advert. After a few simple measurements we placed our order straight away.
We ordered a set of 3 units and amazingly we managed to get them all assembled in an afternoon. We couldn't believe how easy it was to put the pieces together. The finished shelving is really sturdy and our garage looks so much tidier.
As a result, I would highly recommend this product.

Quality racking, easy to assemble
Great value for money, feels sturdy and that it will last, quick delivery, would buy more if needed with no hesitation, here’s a tip “ don’t pick the hottest day of the year to assemble 4 of these beauties “

Dear Shaun,
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you’re impressed with the value, sturdiness, and quality of your shelving, and that your delivery arrived quickly.
We love the tip too, assembling four units on the hottest day of the year certainly sounds like a challenge! We’re glad the end result was worth it, and we really appreciate your confidence in choosing Tufferman again for your future storage needs.

Straight forward to construct
Easy to order, excellent delivery time, pretty straight forward to construct, although I would suggest that it is probably best approached as a two person job, the racking is strong and looks good when fixed to the wall in our garage.

Poor quality and misleading instructions
No issues with delivery or service but the product is not fit for purpose and the instructions are misleading.
The first step, as per the instructions, is to fit the feet. But as soon as you move onto subsequent steps and need to use the mallet to secure the various parts, the plastic feet just break and split. I am now left with no feet to stabilise the unit.
Word of warning: don't fit the feet until the metal carcass is intact and there is no longer any need to use the mallet.

Shelving was easy to find on website good price with a discount and easy to order, quickly despatched and arrived without any damage. only reason its 3 stars is that i have not opened yet, clearing garage first before I open and assemble. Update 15/07/26 now 5 starts 1st set of shelving now assembled, all components in the box instructions easy to follow and shelving put up quickly once I got the hang of it good quality sturdy shelving units.

Shelves slot together as described but…
Shelves slot together as described but are very flimsy and need securing to wall before can be used. Shelves are made from 6mm mdf???? Not moisture proof for sheds or garages and bend if you put any weight on them. Was bought for tools in shed but have had to change after 1 year as shelves unsafe. Supports for under mdf shelf ping out when it bends. Would only recommend for light items.
