thanks for the input guys the wood is 3/4"press board and i used black contact paper with a metal trim. home depot had some shelves that looked similar to this design so i decided to give it a try.the rack dimensions are 46"x15"x48" and holds 28 iris men shoe box tubs.the next rack i build i will use 1/2" press board the 3/4" is a little heavy.lol!! thanks again for looking!

Now THAT'S frickin' AWESOME, Eric!!! I'm glad you're using the Iris tubs... I really like them. Hmmm.... I think I might have to have you build my next racks! Great job!

Awesome rack! You have inspired me to maybe build one just like this when I build mine!! It looks great!!!

About how much did all of this cost you? I like how it looks more attractive than most home built racks (no offense to anyone!). And how are you doing the heating?

Looking good! Be sure to show us when it's completely finished!

Thanks guys! The contact paper i bought at a local cabinet shop and the silver trim is also from a local cabinet shop. with the wood,paper,trim,screws and glue about $320 in materials not including flex watt. I am using iris 12 qt. tubs. 28 or 32 tub capacity depends if i use the top shelf... thanks again

They look very professional! All that work makes the pre-made racks not seem like such a bad deal, huh? LOL Kidding aside, those really are some of the nicest home made racks I've seen.
