Home-made Melamine Racks/Professional Racks

[MrLang]

Hello!

I am trying to keep everything as compact as possible since I will be moving into an apartment in less than half a year and am still in college (so apartments are what I'll be in for the next three years).

Buy one. The cost isn't going to be much greater and you're going to have a BAD TIME trying to move melamine. The screws rip out if it shifts, it's heavy as all hell, and if you take an edge to the knee or shin or knuckle your day is going downhill. Re-assembly of melamine is shotty at best from what I've read, so forget about breaking it down to something compact (like fitting in your car to move, being discreet about owning a bunch of snakes, etc.) I just bought this, and while I haven't gotten it in the mail yet I'm already extremely pleased with the decision. I can't wait to smash and rid myself of 100 lbs of shotty fake wood.

I got one of these from Animal Plastics and have read nothing but good things. I got the 6 shelf, which cost 225 shipped to my doorstep pre-drilled and ready to rock. When I eventually have hatchlings or juveniles, I can move my adults to a larger rack and re-use this one with 15 qt bins for babies.

The 6 shelf also happens to be a 'Quick Ship' item, if you're impatient like I am.
