I plan on putting heat tape on the rack and throw some high temps at it, much higher temps than I would ever run with animals. I have about 50 pounds sitting on it and in it right now with no problems at all. its not the money that made me wanna try this it is my dislike for melamine. This rack is fairly light weight and can be moved around with ease. I dont think 94 degrees will hurt this rack, now maybe a open flame would burn it down quickly but then again so would your carpet drapes and whole house.
