how did you start with somthing like this? it looks really nice, did you have to build it yourself? or did you buy the shelves and make it into a rack?

Only thing your going to hate is the bottom shelf being on the ground. Your temps will be hard to maintain in that slot. I Keep all racks bottom shelf 6" + raised off the ground

Re: First rack! wahoo
yea the bottom rack is a pain in the butt already. Its suppppper snug so ima have to shave a bunch off of the tub.... As far as building the rack i bought 8 foot long sheets up melamine and cut it. i can say one thing that cutting 8 ft long sheets up this alone IS NOT easy. It woulda been a TON easier with some help but i managed and didn't have too many problems. i built it upside down so the bottom shelf was actually the top. It made things a lot easier. i put cds in between the tubs for the perfect gap size even though the bottom one didn't work out as i had planned lol. anyways hope this helps

Quick fix for raising rack up is, screw 2x4s on the bottom and bolt 4 or 5" Caster wheels on it. This will raise it up and help with moving.
