HARDWARE IS IN THE ORANGE LEGS
THE HARDWARE IS PACKAGED INSIDE ONE OF THE HORIZONTAL LEGS!!! Great racks! Bought new ones when I moved, I also thought they forgot the hardware... They're just packaged different than years ago.

Excellent Value
The media could not be loaded. I needed to support a great deal of weight, as I buy lumber at 500+ bf. Three of these kits cost just $150, and they appear to have no trouble supporting my stock of hardwoods.As you can see in my photos, the fully-loaded racks are laser-straight. No sag. I'll be monitoring them to see how they hold up to the load over time, but I'm not concerned at this point.One of the packs I received had been previously opened and returned, and was missing the hardware. Bora has a customer service number and email, but I missed their return call because...I work in a woodshop. Fortunately, they also have a WhatsApp number, and they were extremely fast and efficient helping replace the missing hardware that way.Although disappointing to have the extra time burden of dealing with missing hardware, I have to think that's pretty rare. I'm still giving 5 stars because ANY company that offers fast customer service in English deserves our thanks, respect, and future business.UPDATE:Well, 4 months and a few thousand board-feet later, my lumber racks are still laser-straight and holding strong. I just ordered 2 more.I noticed some confusion in other reviews. First, the little set screws have absolutely nothing to do with weight capacity. The screws are literally just there to set the position of the bars. I can remove those little set screws from a fully-loaded bar and as long as there's weight on the bar it won't go anywhere. Second, the review that claimed the bars weren't level...I noticed that the low bars were all on the same upright. Which means, dude, you just mounted that one a bit low. Not a big deal, but didn't blame Bora for that. I am overly meticulous and used a laser level to make sure all my uprights were perfect. Not really necessary considering the fact that most of us are storing 4/4 hardwood or banana-shaped dimensional lumber on these things. If our rough stock was that straight, we wouldn't need to spend $5k+ on a jointer, eh?Enjoy, y'all.

Some Manufacturing Defects But They Get the Job Done
I bought two sets of these in mid March 2021. They solve the problem they were designed to solve. In my case, they create temporary storage for long dimensional lumber materials, and for woodcrafting I enjoy between DIY renovation projects. You can see from the photos that it holds 12' 2x6" and various other items including one of my ladders, a roof rack, longer tools (my 6" level, drywall T-square) etc.Without weight calculations, I estimate this assembly can hold 6 16' 2x6" boards per each horizontal level. Each horizontal level defined in this assembly by four leveled orange horizontal metal bars (two kits).Actual measurements of the components inside the package are provided in the photos for your reference. I find these measurements useful when planning the installation and making my Sketchup. The plastic spacer disks that your mounting screws (not included) will pass through create a 1/2" space between the gray vertical support and the wall (photo included).The plastic spacers and slide-on horizontal (orange) components seemed weak coming out of the packaging, but they get the job done fine. I was able to hang from each of these orange supports (I am 6'2" and 200 lbs) without any hint they might fail. Translated, that means I deliberately exceeded the stated weight limit of each horizontal member in this case by about 90 lbs. No problems.I mounted the ones you see in the picture 35 1/4"" from the left perpendicular wall, 33 1/4" from the ceiling, and 32" on center between each vertical support. I used Spax 4581820700765 1/4 x 3" T-Star Drive Washer Head HCR (Exterior) Powerlag Screws (not included).Essentially, I mounted each assembly to a vertical wall stud, skipped a stud, then mounted the second assembly and so on - making sure each one was level and plumb. You can see the Sketchup I did to show how they are attached to the walls (ignore the shelving units I have not built yet above them). These walls are 11' tall.While I am generally happy with what these do and how they are doing the job, I have a negative:One orange horizontal member in each kit seems to be defective. Since I had one defective orange component in each box, I thought maybe I had missed something in the instructions and the defects were intentional. But each of the defects in each are slightly different. In both cases, the lip portion of the underside of the member are shorter than the rest (see photos). In one defective component, the top of the square through-cut is also cut more distal to the vertical (gray) member than the others. The net effect of these two defects (one per kit) is that one of the top-most orange horizontal components angles up at an unnatural angle (see photo second vertical assembly from the left). in the second defect, the top-most orange horizontal component slides down over the support screw (see photo third vertical assembly from the left).I chose in this case to mount the two defective orange horizontal components at the very top of the assemblies with the hope that I can find a way to contact the manufacturer and get replacements. Since these orange horizontal members simply slide over the top of the gray vertical support bar and rest on the support screws, I should be able to replace these two defective members without having to disassemble anything more.Contacting the manufacturer with the specifics of my case doesn't seem to be an easy thing to do. I don't see a need to return the entire units since they are both mounted and functional. Just getting replacement parts is an adventure I'm still working through.Depending on how the manufacturer responds, I'd likely buy these again if I need more space for wood. The concept is sound. The execution is a little sloppy.4/6/21 Update: After talking with Amazon customer service, they have agreed to send me a single replacement package. I will take two parts from the new package (presumably not defective) and return the rest. This solution seems a little expensive for them and slightly inconvenient, but it probably works better from their perspective than breaking open a box and sending me replacement parts I need.In the end, Amazon is honoring their end of the deal to get me two fully functional units, so I'm going to add a star (from 3 to 4), and simply accept the gift that life isn't always fair, perfect or clean. The best we can do is trust that, despite imperfections, we will each do our best in the end. Well done.

Item was as described, though some minor damage in shipping. Very functional and works great for my lumber and Step ladder storage.

Been in use for years, sturdy, no issues
We now have 3 (two of them recent purchases) of these racks set up in our garage holding all manner of lumber. They install quickly and can hold a considerable amount of weight per shelf. I installed them directly into studs using 3 1/2" screws and they have been rock solid. 2x4's, molding, shiplap, decking, 2x6's and even 4x4's, it's all been stored on these things.The only thing you need to be careful of (in my experience) is your spacing of the racks. If you are going to try holding longer boards/items, I would recommend placing a 3rd rack in the middle for added center support. Also, you may want to pick up some 1x12" board to make shelves for any smaller items.Solid item though, good enough that I came back and bought more of them
