- Great product at the best price.
- We decided to organize our garage and began by checking our options on line. We were able to find some of the parts at our local do it yourself type stores. Once we started we wanted to finish, so we checked on line at many different sites. All were far more expensive and shipping was outrageous. Amazon came to the rescue again. Shipping was free with super saver and the product was at a far better price then anywhere else we checked. Thanks Amazon. We have the most organized garage on the block. Great product.

- FastTrack is expensive, but well worth the investment
- We like these products to much, we now have an entire FastTrack system in our 3-car garage. The best feature is that you can very easily change things around (not the tracks, but all of the hanging pieces). The uprights are an expensive way to hang shelves, but they are strong and they are not permanent, so you can adjust the location of your shelving. You can't beat the convenience - the uprights themselves require no assembly or installation. You simply hang them from a FastTrack track. You will also need to buy a track, brackets, and wire shelving, though, and this can add up very quickly. The only store in our area that has a decent stock of FastTrack pieces is WalMart, but they have nowhere near the number of options as Amazon. Lowes and the Home Depot offer only a handful of the FastTrack hooks and the track. One caveat about the uprights: if your garage is unfinished (as ours is), you will need to hang the uprights on the studs, or they will not be stable. Of course, if you have sheetrocked walls, this will not be an issue. Bottom line - the uprights are a well made product that can help you organize your garage almost overnight. We did!

- A complete rip off!
- My first complaint is about the ambiguity of the product description. You don't know if you're ordering one, or one set of three (the number of uprights you would need to put up a shelf). I understand that the product is only referred to as singular in the description, but it's not far fetched to think it would mean one set. You need more than one to even hang something, so why sell it separate? I suspect so they can charge you 11 bucks a rail.
That leads me to my second complaint, the price. At 11 dollars and change you've already spent over 33 bucks and you still haven't bought the shelves, or 16" brackets that hold the shelves, and I would guess that those are sold separately as well, at almost 7 dollars a bracket. I like the other Rubbermaid FastTrak items, but the shelving system is extremely over priced. Save some money and go a different route.
Once I received my ONE rail in the mail I decided not to waste anymore money on the FastTrack shelving system. - 2007-12-18, 14 of 21 people found this review helpful, Rated:
