    I have two of those carts and I bought them at Sams Club for 24.99.

    I have one of these and use it for embroidery threads and patterns, It is used more for scrapbooks I have been told. It works great for some things, you just have to decide if you have anything that you want that type of drawers for.

    All my storage containers are clear and I still label them. I have gotten to where I can just reach and know which drawer I'm at and just pull that one out. I have 2 different chairs as I change my position all the time, it relieves stress on the back and hips and knees. I hate sitting on bar stools, it's just uncomfortable on the knees. I use office task chairs so I can also adjust the height.

    I bought one a few years ago and ended up giving it away as it was a bit lightweight for holding some items. Try looking in the tool department for heavier units that are sturdier.

    I have three of these that I use for storage at home and also to take to retreats and sometimes workshops. I bought them at The Container Store. You can take units from one and add to another to make even more stacked units. It's on wheels and has a handle for easy transport and movement. They sell for $41.99. It's called The Busy Box "More versatile than your average toy box, this heavy-duty box has wheels for easy mobility. It features three individual stacking boxes for separating and sorting toys (fabric and notions for me). A large handle makes it easy to roll this box from room to room.

    I can never successfully upload any picture to this page, so you'll just have to go see it for yourself. http://www.containerstore.com/shop?p...47&N=&Ntt=busy

    Do you have an Ikea nearby? I do not but am hoping to visit one soon (about 2.5 hours away) and get a few of these:

    I just went to Mills Fleet Farm and bought a wood set of drawers. I had to assemble them, but I had help (DH), He had me use one of his glues to seal around the edge of all drawers. He said it just made the drawers twice as sturdy... and now I had my money's worth...Frame, 5 drawers & and 3 inches deep on wheels... Just got it so I need to decide how I want to use it and fill it up. I also have a set of plastic drawers the sets on the counter that has half a dozen drawers... don't like it as well so I use it for things I don't use every day... Thanks for sharing the good and the bad ...
