I got them at Target today. They are the Sterilite 1755 tubs. I think you can order them off their website also.

You are correct.

You did a great job. You will more than likely hate the design in about a year as I did mine. Over time the middle shelves will sag and bind on the totes when you try to slide them in. I basically ripped mine apart and made single stack racks with the melamine. Not trying to rain on anyones parade but melamine is great in small sections but without support anything over 2 feet will sag over time just from the weight alone. :(

It looks like theres enough room to add spacers in between the tubs if it starts to sag. Though i could be wrong

I planned on adding spacers in a few days.

That would help. I got greedy with mine and used the full 4 foot width to fit the width of three 28qt tubs wide with no room for spacers between. The other thing that drove me crazy was the weight of the freakin thing. Im not discounting the job you did as it appears it came out great just mine caused me more grief than anything.

It was heavy, I only plan on using it for a year or so, then I will be building one out of PVC. I will scrap this one down and make a 41 QT rack.
