Haha, what? What would constitute making your shop a warehouse?

Jim, They hold up pretty well actually, some of the heavier cases have a ting bit if sag in them but completely usable and haven't caused any issues yet. This case is pretty heavy filled with M6 hardware and it's been stored in the basement racking for over a year.

Bit of an update, I liked my basement storage racks so much that I opted to incorporate another set into my new garage bench. Here is how it turned out!

Thanks for the kind words, it's been working out really well so far.

Thanks Retroman, It's a constant battle to stay organized but overall much more of an enjoyable working experience.

I've got about half of them used at this point. Once I do the garage I'll build a second rack and move some things around.

Meursault, Thank you, I was going to glue it together but found the screws were sufficient. Also if I ever need to take it out of the basement it will be a lot easier this way. Captain14, I picked out the top for the bench first, the lead time to have it cut to size and finished was a few...

The rack was built as part of my work bench, the outside frame is built for 4'x4' and the top is a piece of Quartz I picked up from the remnant yard at the local countertop dealer. The bottom has 8 adjustable leveling casters so the bench can be moved if needed.

Long time lurker of the forums here I recently moved into a new house and started building out my basement shop. Been working on a few projects down there and will likely put up a thread about the entire project but for now I wanted to share my approach to a storage rack for the harbor freight...

I am an ace employee (store/franchise level) and yes apparently with ace each store retains the ability to set pricing regardless of sales. However there is a work around for most items.... Ace hardware.com offers free shipping to your store of choice. So for most items you can order online...
