My homemade rack!
That's good! Do know if they make black melamine edging I'd prefer to get black melamine but if they don't have the black edging ill just go with white cause if hate to stare at the wood edging it would bug me too much ha.
With kindest regards,
Adin.

You might could order black, but at Home Depot they only had white.

Nice job.
why the back plate? seems it will add unneeded weight.

Specifically I don't know why OP added a back plate but I added one to my homemade racks for added stability, heat retention, and as a backstop for the tubs.

I have larger racks of melamine, so things like weight pop out to me as it can become a concern the larger they are. If it is for heat and stopping, Iwould suggest a lighter material. For a small rack like this I am sure will make no difference, but when you get into larger melalmine racks, one panel can be significant.
On the subject of heat, if I may make a suggestion/observation: keep an eye on the temps in that bottom slot. I have had problems before with the bottom levels until I started raising on casters and insulating below the bottom level. This wasn't a problem when I built my first racks which sat close to the floor, but when Imoved them to a new locations, the floor was colder and called for a change in design on my racks. Hopefully you will not find this happening, but if you do it is a easy fix.

Same reasons. I musing backbeat for this rack, so I'm taping the flexwatt onto the back plate, and it stays a little cool in my apartment (76ish) so I'm using it to hold heat in as well. During the cooler months I'm going to add a door as well (not made out of melamine). I've heard some people having the room in the low 70s high 60s but with all sides enclosed it stays a nice 79-81 ambient temp in the tubs.
