Yes, they did everything they claimed and they’re really sturdy, even without the rod that can be inserted in a hole in the center. The two downsides I know of are that shipping is relatively expensive (these blocks are the opposite of flat-pack..) and that the shelves can’t be placed right next to one another on the long edge. I wanted to use 2 6x48” shelves (https://www.everblocksystems.com/accessories/48-lintelshelf https://www.everblocksystems.com/accessories/48-lintelshelf) as 1 12x48” and the current shelves don’t permit that. It appears to be possible but isn’t. Their team told me before I ordered. The team seems very committed. I also recommended it for a large set of modular office walls/phone booths a few years ago. That company used it for years and was very happy. For the right situation, I’d gladly buy it again.
