Storing the totes by the edges rather than bottom reduces their weight rating substantially (less than half). The better method is to use a true shelf system, which means you really need decent plywood. That probably brings the cost to build a "rack" to well over $100 if you're buying all the wood. That's why I just buy the Edsal metal racks - no cutting, setup is quick and so is reconfiguration.
Ignore the business link, my clubs sell these for $200. You can fit 3 tubs wide/shelf and have space left over. This configuration also lets you store non-tote type stuff on each shelf (or smaller totes). I have probably 6 or 7 of these, most recently I upgraded storage in my garage with 2 of these racks side by side. The uprights are symmetric so when putting 2 racks side by side you only need 1 upright, so I took the "spare" upright, cut it into 3 equal pieces (~2ft/ea) and extended my storage vertically. So I have the floor, one shelf around knee height, then a workbench (which I topped with 3/4" MDF and sealed it), then 2 more shelves above that. I can store ~ 24 (standard) totes, but the ~half size greenmade totes fit two to the same footprint as a large tote so some of those spaces I have 2x small totes rather than one large one.
The above was to replace old kitchen cabinets that the prior owners installed (literally old cabinets from a remodel) which became a haven for mice (and the storage was inefficient).
Also if you don't have the vertical space (headroom) to take advantage of all 4 shelves, as I mentioned you can put these side by side and use the "extra" shelf pieces to put them between two units (like the second image from this link [edsal.com]even though this isn't the same product)
A bin is typically $8, but to store it on this rack is $15 additional each ($300 / 20 = 15).
