Grid Wall Panels, Foldable Gridwall Panel, Grid Wall Panels with Braked Wheels, for Craft Merchandise Display Item Storage

Update: Used these at a big convention and they were amazing! Stood sturdy the entire time while loaded down with merch, fully on the front side, and half on the backside. There was heavy traffic at the venue, and these didn't wobble a bit. Two were free standing and I had one each at the end of a table, and they worked awesome. I'm super impressed with the quality. I wound up booking a bigger show space than usual at an upcoming venue, so I'm off to order 2 more and replace all my existing gridwalls with these. I wound up taking one non-folding gridwall to the last show and it was an absolute pain compared to these.One note: The wheels on one untwisted, (just two), while in the trailer, because I laid those on their sides on the way home. They did go right back on. I'm going to have my husband put some glue in the threads when he gets home, so that the wheels will stay where they need to. These sat on my dolly strapped in and it took one whole trip to transport them on the ground at the venue, which was awesome. Saved a lot of time and space in the trailer for a long-distance show. Super happy with them still!I cannot give these enough praise. This stand, and the 2 subsequent ones that I've received, (one's still stuck in the mail, lol), are amazing. Consistent, excellent quality. And they're so easy to take up and down, and they take up so little space. They are going to make my setup, teardown, and hauling off all my stuff so much easier and better. They fold down small, which makes transport so easy!Okay, to preface, I do craft shows locally, and conventions farther away from home, 3-6 hours. I'm used to renting a trailer, sometimes even for local shows, to transport my setup. Guess what these folding gridwalls mean I can do?Fit everything into my truck and SUV and ditch the trailer for local shows! These fold down and come with velcro 'belts' to hold the panels in a closed position, and they work, so they can fit right in the back of my SUV without any problems and without any wiggling and trying to figure out how to make it all fit. Definitely use those velcro belts when you have these closed, or the top panel will fall forward. And it's heavy, so that could be an 'ouch' situation if it falls on your foot or knee or some smaller living creature.As far as these gridwalls going in the trailer, the taller, non-folding ones fit fine. The issue with the non-folding gridwalls is moving them from the truck/trailer and into the venue. I love working conventions at colleges, because college kids love buying stuff. I hate working conventions at colleges because they usually involve stairs and small elevators and it takes forever to get set up when we have a half dozen gridwalls that need to be hand carried, because they don't fit on a standard dolly, even our own. So many trips up and down, up and down. It's exhausting. These, folded down, sit on my lowes' dolly, (it's like 200 bucks, long rails with a kickplate at the bottom, stands up or down), and I can use some bungees to hold them in place, so I can take them all up in one go. They are very heavy, which doesn't bother me, because I prefer my gridwalls to not be flimsy. These folding down and fitting on the dolly will save us at least 3 trips up and down at some of our usual college events.Setup is just screwing on the wheels to the triangle bottom frames. Easy. And then you screw the wingnuts down on the screws. Problem there for me is that 3 of the wingnuts or three of the screws keep cross threading pretty quickly. So, I'm going to pick up some more of both and see what we can do to fix that. It's kind of a common issue with this type of stuff, so I'm not really bothered. All the screws have big black hand grips on them that make them pretty comfy to turn, which makes me really happy.The panels set up easy. Just flip up one part, turn the screws upwards, and that's it. Proceed with the next. The screws are super long, so there is a bit sticking out once the wall is assembled. More stability. The metal is thicker on the panels than I expected. Great quality. It's all coated neatly and perfectly.They roll fine. One wheel won't unlock, so I put a sticker on it. It'll be my 'special', lol. For something mass produced, having those few flaws is fine with me.I did not expect the quality, the sturdiness, the 'everything' about these gridwalls. They are a unicorn. Snatch them up if you are doing craft shows or conventions or need a solid display, because they are worth every penny. One or two will fit on the backseat of a car. I did not try the trunk, because I don't own a car, so I just tried my friend's Corolla when they were visiting really quickly, and they had stuff in the trunk. They fit great in my son's Mini Cooper though, so they'll fit in a hatchback-type smaller vehicle with the seats up or down. These will enable just about anyone to start doing local craft shows without needing a huge vehicle to do it with. Even if you make 2 trips, like I do sometimes, it saves on renting a truck and/or trailer.In summary: they're awesome. I love them. I can't wait to use them at my next show. I always do setup a few weeks in advance to test things out, and these have me very confident about quickly unloading, setting up, and tearing down. I love them and I would buy again. The four that I will have will complete my set for now and have been an excellent investment.

I love that this folds up to travel. It would be nice if it came with a tote to carry it too. Very easy and quick to set up. You don't have to raise all 3 panels, you can use it partly folded up.

Easy to set up and works well. The extra features for storage help.

I ordered 2 racks. Both arrived from different warehouses on different days and were in different packaging.The hardware especially the screws and wingnuts are poorly machined and don't fit well. This made the assembly more difficult and pliers were needed to complete. A BIG ISSUE is that the grid sizes are smaller than other grid wall products so the hardware that hangs on the grid is too large. Hardware is not offered with the product nor seems to be available.

Works great! Easy to put together and I love that it folds for transport. I use it for selling car freshies at markets.

These grids are perfect for small cars. I can fit two grids and most all my artwork in my Honda Civic.

Super easy to assemble & potable

aphaobo Folding Grid Wall PanelI was very interested in this grid wall panel. With it's easy folding design it makes it a great choice for the traveling merchant or artist.The set up is very quick and easy. The hardware uses easily hand tightened screws and wing nuts, which allows one to break it down all the way. This allows for even more convenient packaging and transportation.Unfortunately, this grid wall panel is not to retail standards.The rails themselves are thinner, approximately only 1/3 rd the thickness of a normal retail version. Thus they are not strong and the bars bend under relatively light weight. Four pounds of weight was enough to bend the wire framework.The grid wall panels are not the same size as retail. Standard retail fixtures do not fit properly. They can be used, but they are not as secure.The hardware used is not the best quality. Plastic handles on the screws, and cheap metal rivets hold the hinges in place. So exercise care when handling.While not to retail standards, this grid wall panel does still stand out as more exceptional than other poor grade grid wall panels, due to it's innovative fold up design which leads to considerable more versatility and convenience over standard poor grade panels.3.5 starsExplaining my rating system:5 - a superior product - I would highly recommend4 - above average – a great choice3 - average – what one might generally expect2 - below average – I would advise seeking an alternative1- Horrible – a waste of your valuable money - avoid if at all possible
