Ok so I've bought 2 plastic shelving racks and they're both shit. Either 25kg is considerably less than I think or they don't take the weight they should.

Anyway it needs replaced as the plastic is collapsing towards the cupboard door and there will be a huge mess soon lol.

Max 160cm x 70cm x 45cm but as large as possible within that. Must be metal to take the weight as plastic is clearly shit.

Needs to be cheap also though!

Any ideas??

B&Q do a set that take 50+kg of UDL on each shelf. mine stand 6ft tall by probably 2-3 wide and 18" deep. They were about £25 IIRC
It's knock together so no tools needed
Machine mart and various others do exactly the same stuff for similar prices

They're all too tall but the right depth or the right height but not deep enough. Sad

This one is the closest so far (still not really deep enough) but like twice as much as I want to pay. Confused http://www.screwfix.com/p/rb-boss-powder...tier/9905g

Why do you have it shoved in a cupboard? Surely get rid of the ikea special and you could have better shelves?
