it looks like the shelving is metal, but the framing is wood?

The shelving is metal bakers racks (68" long x 28" deep) and the front supports are 2x4's with the back side of the shelves screwed directly to the wall. Will be very easy to add onto in the future.

Re: Re-worked rack for viv's

Thanks everybody. As for the room I have..... guess in that way I'm luck that my wife DOES NOT like my hobby. That justified a room of my own, just for the garter collection
