  "llm_summary": "Garage Shelving, also sold as Steel Organizer Racking or Storage Shelves, from SpaceSaver at spacesavershop.co.uk. A four shelf freestanding steel wire shelving unit in black with a black coated chrome finish. Price GBP 109, reduced from GBP 149. Dimensions are 91.4 cm long by 35.6 cm wide by 137.2 cm high. Each shelf holds up to 159 kg evenly distributed and the total maximum load for the unit is 635 kg. The wire shelves are height adjustable in 2.5 cm increments by clipping black plastic sleeves around the metal posts, and no tools are required for assembly or adjustment; all necessary components are included. The unit has adjustable levelling foot caps for uneven floors. It is freestanding and does not need to be fixed to a wall, and suits garages, workshops, kitchens, offices, stock rooms and storage areas. The stated load ratings assume the weight is EVENLY DISTRIBUTED across the shelf rather than concentrated in one spot. Steel wire shelving allows air to move through, which suits unheated spaces where condensation forms. Care: wipe with a damp cloth and dry; keep off a wet floor and wipe spills. UK wide delivery, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 25, arriving in 5 to 7 days. A stock item, not made to order, so the 14 day change of mind cancellation right applies in full.",
