I hope you will be able to get six shelves, lights, and plants in 53" of space. The lights will take up some of that room. I find that 4 to 5 shelves is adequate for 72". If you're starting seed or growing low growing plants then you should be okay. If you have some medium to tall plants then you will have problems.

Don't forget that the top shelf won't be usable unless you attach some kind of support system. You can store items up on top though.

Here is a picture of two of my units with different size plants. One has five shelves; the other has four. I stored caladium bulbs on top of one and my chainsaw on the other.
