That rack looks great! I was thinking of just sliding sterilite containers between melamine shelves with a 1/16 gap for clearance. Its just a simple idea that I think will work. I am making shelf units much like yours which will hold small critter keepers for hatchlings. I'm using melamine boards and machining aluminum slides for the keepers. I'll post pics as soon as I'm done. Thanks for the pictures!

i would highly suggest kritter keepers over the sterilite tubs. the tubs in my experience don't fit very well because they aren't very square. rounded edges, and they are not straight which makes it difficult to size the sliding area and the height. all of the weight tends to stay in the middle of the tub, which makes it awkward pulling the tubs out. 1 or 2 of mine seem to have issues hanging up and falling down on the top of the next one if not carefully removed or if pulled out too far. be sure to make the tops so there is plenty of ventilation.
