I'm starting plants from seed. I need more space. Lol. Was thinking of getting adjustable shelves and some more grow lights. Started looking online. I wouldn't be opposed to a kit that had four shelves with lights. I don't want to buy something that doesn't work. I'm also not opposed to buying shelves and adding lights. Looking for recommendations for either way. Cheap is good but I'll pay money for something that is quality as well.

I have never used them, but I have seen several posts on here showing metal shelving purchased at Costco or Sam's and shop lights added to them.
That seems to be a popular configuration for growing from seeds.

That's what I was planning on doing and if it's a popular choice then it's likely a good one.

I like these shelves from Amazon.

I also purchase these casters for them, to make them easy to move around.

The 2-foot by 4-foot shelves are a good fit for 4-foot fluorescent fixtures and 1020 sized trays for plants.
