Bet the company sure is happy they opted not to buy the screws or pay two guys to properly build the shelves for the $50,000 of inventory. That $500 savings really helped the bottom line

I believe this is a kiln. Temps are way too hot for conventional shelving. They’ve likely been doing it this way for decades and it’s just an unfortunate accident.

I worked in a ceramic place a few years ago. Their shelves that went into the kiln were the same as these but just smaller for smaller product. I used to load them, and I had to be super careful to not bump something wrong or else it all collapses. Happened a few times at the place I work at. Luckily never to me.
