Roof clearance can be an issue as well as tote sizes
With this product, you were going to want to determine the totes you want to use first I wanted to use 27 gallon totes however for my set up I ended up using 17 gallon totes. I was able to put three sideways and two horizontal to give me my best result. Also with roof clearance. If you get the totes that have the little ridges on the top you’re going to need to add spacers and get different hardware so it doesn’t impact the roof. I ended up getting 3 1/2 inch hex bolts two washers, top and bottom and then I oversized a nut as the spacer and that gave me the optimal result with the hardware included I was not able to have enough clearance with the roof

Works great but holds less totes than advertised.
Product works great. 3 stars is for deceptive advertising. The picture you see here is (2) sets and hold a total of (6) 27 gallon totes. The pictures make it look like (1) set will hold 5. It does NOT! I also had to get nylon spacers and washers to create a larger gap between the support member and the rail as the lid to the totes hit the support member. Once installed and in place, it works great and looks good.

This is a waste of time.
The rack system is designed for two 27-gallon tanks. However, the seller incorrectly described it as having four 27-gallon tanks and two 49-gallon tanks, which is not accurate. This is a waste of time.

Perfect fit and easily adjustable
This system is as advertised. Very easy to set up and adjust. I purchase two kits which gives me the additional middle row. The two outside rows are 27 gallon HDX totes. The three metal totes are 17 gallon HDX totes. Just be sure to account for a1 1/2" gap between ceiling and tote lid when you're factoring the hanging depth.

Strong and Sturdy
I love that thy are adjustable. Just get the bases installed in the studs/joists in your ceiling and then the other bars easily adjust depending on the size of your totes. I wish the base bars were a little longer so we could use all 27gal totes and not have to have varying sizes. The supplied screw bolts are heavy duty and do the job. Also comes with a very nice installation book that is easy to follow.

Hubby is happy, he wants more
My husband is super thrilled about this. He installed it the same day that it was delivered (and he’s a major procrastinator).
He told me to get him more. Lol.
Super functional. Easy enough to install. Sturdy.
Personally, I’m addicted to storage and organization products. I try to maximize every inch of space that I can, and this does just that.
Gives me ideas for getting more storage space in the attic. I might be joking, but only if it isn’t possible.
