Default Check my math and logic (shelves)

I hijacked these plans:
http://www.motherearthnews.com/Hands...e-Shelves.aspx
And I took the suggestion to make the shelves 32" wide. I am going to
make them 7 ft high. 8 ft high would make them pretty hard to move
around.

I can't even get my nephew to take out the trash. My plan is to get
him to do this to use in the basement. Wish me luck.
