I have been using black enameled wire shelving. I'm used to the stainless
variety (I managed restaurants for 15 years -- can't beat wire shelving), but
stainless is obnoxioiusly expensive. The local Menard's and Lowe's offers units
by Wirecraft that come in white, chrome or black. 4 18x48 shelves with 74"
posts runs around $80, and is easy to configure and assemble and will hold a
hell of a lot (375lbs per shelf) without sagging. You can also get casters and
I sure agree with this!!! I have one 24" x 48" in stainless with three
shelves that I have been using for quite a few years. This one came from an
auction at Lobo drives when they closed down, and is loaded mainly with
luggables (Kaypro, Osborne, Corona, Compaq, etc.) and there is no sign of
sag.
However I also have a number of Gorilla shelves, and I like them a lot
although the wood is only about 3/8" - 1/2" thick. This creates the problem
of sag, but with care in arranging stuff on the shelves, they work pretty
good and are very fast to put up.
