I have looked far and long for the best INSIDE shelves for the buck and for usefulness. I need a 100 feet of shelving minimum !! Probably twice that. All the same. Had to get this right. I found what I was looking for at Sam's Club for $60 each unit. 72 pounds/box. Unit is 86" high, 48" wide and 18" deep. The shelve material not wood but a light colored grey plastic that is appealing and easy to clean. Not easy to assemble lol but once done all is done. Unbelievable 600 pounds per shelf, 3600 pounds per shelf unit !!!(THINK ROCKS !!) Doubt we will put that much on them but those are serious bragging rights. I'll post when this wall has 5 units and the basement glass shop with 4 units free standing in center area of room is completed. Started with 9 units, cleaned out the local Sam's. And my wife has had them under test for 3 years now.

James that's going to look SO sharp to have all the same shelving units...and they'll look even better once they've got some rock dust on them! ps...I LOVE Nilla Wafers! LOL

Perfect for the survivalist. 100' of strong shelving for food and rock stuff. I've always wanted a hidden passageway to my lab like Batman or Young Frankenstein. "Put the candle back".

We have one set in our kitchen for the extras we use, like microwave, toaster oven, etc etc... Nice units.. Me and wife assembled 2 units yesterday Michael. The first unit was a fiasco only because it was a typical argumentative spousal team lol. We did a 30 minute divorce to get the 2nd unit up. All went smooth. We got back together after. I had to cut 2 inches off the top post so it would fit under the trim on the wall. Now the shelf sits real close to the wall so stuff won't fall behind the shelves. Screwed it to wall. Check it out:
