Found these while wandering down an aisle I rarely stroll. Not large at 23"X13"X30", but holds 160lbs. per shelf and just $15 each. So I bought 2 and plan to stack them with fabricated couplings. Already have a spot in the T room for it.
Plus had 8 small protection pieces that will be used as water dishes. 25¢ piece is just for size reference. [emoji4]

Picture of the pair, assembled and stacked, these are quite sturdy.
Will be leveling and loading the shelves with T's tonight at feeding time. Recently bought some scorplings, so another pair of shelf units will be bought just for scorpion enclosures. Lol! Everyone thinks T's are addictive, try staying with one scorpion species. [emoji6]
@Fuzzball79, Yes, I have an Aldi 1/2 mile from me. Small store with an incredible amount of products.

Update:
Couldn't wait til feeding time. Slings being kept in "slingubator" will normally feed no matter the time.
Fed all and placed the more mature species on the new rack assembly. Although not completely filled, got a good start, more rearranging to do.
Three new molts from different species were found.

Sorry Ghost, scorplings are in the acrylic (small) upper right in the photo. Hiding under the cork slab all 7 of 'em. Lol!
My 1st species, C. gracilis, was impulse buy from a friend at a recent reptile show.
Btw, you attempted building any enclosures yet?

nice find ;)
Thanks.
Just got their flyer for next week and will have larger units (54"X36"X14") available. I do prefer the metal type as they allow for better air circulation and adjustable shelves (1" increments). Big pluses over wood/composite shelf systems. IMHO [emoji4]
