Thinking about it now.... they're plenty of them at church, and they 
would probbaly hold quite a lot, as you say.  They are about as old as I 
am too :-)  The one I bought was only $40 at Sam's Club, about 7 years 
ago..... I guess I get what I pay for :-)

Mine has steel rails, but they are thin, and aren't secured well.  I'm 
going to get rid of it soon, I think.
