Great for organizing your garage. It is usually $99.99.
It fits five 27 gallons storage bins available at Costco (usually around $10 each but sometimes it has $2 off at warehouse.
If you add caster wheels to it, it becomes even better and you can have more than one row of it in your garage.
I used "Shepherd Hardware 9496 3-Inch Soft Rubber Threaded Stem Caster with Side Brake, 3/8-Inch Stem Diameter, 150-lb Load Capacity"
Shepherd 9496 caster wheel is available at Amazon, Walmart and Home Depot.

i mean, i get it, but like, the effort of taking one down off the slidy rack seems just about as much of an effort as taking a few bins off --- i get its less, but is it really, though? also 50 lbs per shelf, so 250 lbs per shelving unit? I dunno about yall, but... i load these things UP. to the point they sometimes break. I'm not saying they're useless, I'm just saying there's a specific set of circumstances and people who would get use out of this, so check the measurements, weight rating, and think about how you'd utilize something like this before jumping into some spaving. just my 2 cents im probably wrong i am about lots of stuff.

These seem super niche because for not much more you can get shelves and those are usefull for more than just bins. They also support the bin from the bottom not using the lip, which I feel like over time could wear/break. Don't get me wrong I was interested in these cuz I have a lot of bins but after thinking about it a lot it didn't seem worth it.

Waste of money - too flimsy. My totes have a lot of weight and would buckle this thing fast. Plus it is too tedious and difficult to get at the bottom totes.

I used this from Sam's [samsclub.com] to stack my containers. It comes with wheels and is only $49.99.

UHaul dolly $19.95, stack up to 6 totes and as heavy as you need to make it mobile. Works well.

No extra casters to buy or the actual metal rack structure to purchase too. Yes, you are going to have to unstack the bins if need to get to bottom bin, but it's workable.

It seems you all missed the whole point for this rack is to make the bins slidable instead of moving each bin from the top. It is particularly good if you need to access the bins on the bottom.

DIYers - You can build pretty much the same rack (see photo) using 5 of 2x4x8ft. Cost $4 x 5 = $20.

I got this, but ended up returning it. It's flimsy as hell. Ended up building a nice solid one out of 2x4's for under $30. Much better
