My fabric

http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/gms/2222737991.html

Saw these on Craig's List - they are metal - Approx 6' X 3' X
18" deep - they are from a hospital - have not seen them. Was told they weigh approx 200 lbs - the man wants $50 each - the cubbies are approx 6" wide

Do you time these would work?

Decided to ask you what you thought before I showed them to DH - who at the moment is playing golf.

I would be leery of metal, any moisture and here comes the rust...
but they are cool!

Personally I would prefer something that was not a heavy metal, 200lbs each! Also you may want to check bookcases at ikea on-line at least to get pricing, I'm not sure if that's a deal or not, if you want metal and have someone to move them for you then it would work. I can't get past the 200 lbs each thing! I will be watching to see what others think. Good luck deciding.

The compartments look a little narrower than what I'd like for storage and I'd be very wary of metal also. Good luck finding the right storage.

I'd be leery at 200lbs each once put they would stay put. And of course the rust problem with our humidity. good luck.

Best thing I've found is the Sterlite 4 drawer cabinets sold at Walmart or Target here. All plastic nice deep drawers, can stack them. Two or four put together with a covered piece of fiber board makes a great storage and ironing or cutting table. Run $50 to 55 each. Check it out. BJ

I think you are right about metal - especially in Florida - Humidity and metal don't mix.

I really haven't seen them, I saw the ad on Craigslist and called to get some info. Thought I would ask my friendly experts what you thought before I showed them to DH.

That's a good idea. I have several sheets of plywood and some other type of wood, can't remember what it is called, which would make a great top
