I understand it may be cheaper, but we just built another rat rack recently, and there is quite a difference in the quality between the wooden racks at this stage in the game.
The older rack, when we first built it, the tubs were hard to pull in and out (being nice and tight fitting), over time the rails have sagged, the rack sways a bit now back and forth, and honestly, it stinks like rats. Metal racks wouldn't have those problems.
I thought about asking Chris to build me a metal rat rack and I would love to have one; it's much much much cheaper to build your own metal rack for any creature if you have the skills and tools needed to do it. But also finding a freedom breeder at that price is a steal!
Re: freedom breeder used?
I'd say go for it. If you're at the point where you need to have a good amount of production rat wise something like that would be ideal! I just got my first wooden rat rack and while I think it's probably one of the best thing I've ever bought (well traded a few surplus snakes for) I'm really considering trying to build my own metal rack. I've got a few welding classes under my belt and my father has a MIG welder at his place so it might just be worth it. I just wouldn't really know what metal to use or where to get it really :D.

I say if you don't take it, tell me where he lives and I'll take it!
