Amazon Basics 5-Shelf Tower Shelving Unit, $35
Why do we like this deal?
Amazon Prime Day is coming on June 23, but a rush of early Prime Day deals have arrived ahead of schedule, including this indoor Chefman griddle and a very solid Makita battery. Finding a good discount is like finding treasure, but some products don’t need a dedicated deal to provide great value, and this $35 storage solution proves just that.
The Amazon Basics 5-Shelf Tower Adjustable Storage Shelving Unit is part of Amazon’s best-selling standing shelf units, with this particular configuration selling over 1,000 units last month alone. At $35, it’s marked down at an absurdly good price point – for example, this somewhat similar-sized shelf at Walmart is over $60.

What shoppers need to know
- Dimensions: 16 x 16 x 54 inches
- Capacity: 150 pounds per shelf (total 750)
- Material: Steel with black powder coating for rust and corrosion protection
- Notable Feature: adjustable feet
- Best use case: Limiting excess storage to the places you need it most.
This storage tower takes up a small 16 by 16 area on your floor. This is a feature, not a drawback, as it enables the tower to fit (and provide storage) in tight spaces where you’ll need it most. It’s great for utility rooms, closets, bathrooms and busy workplaces alike. If you have an unused corner, this will provide plenty of storage area without taking up too much floor space.
Overall, the big deal here is how much value Amazon packs into a $35 storage unit. Other than a black powder coating that fights rust and corrosion, this thing is all steel. It also holds up to 750 pounds of gear and has adjustable legs. It’s a hard value proposition to beat, and you can see why so many people are buying and recommending this tower.

The Amazon Basics 5-Shelf Tower Shelving Unit is a $35 storage solution we think you’ll love.
