Need ideas and pics of storage carts with staging areas

Options
Here's the scoop; I currently have an XL Egg that sits in a nest with mates. Santa brought me an AR Woo2 combo for Xmas and things are starting to pile up some. Besides having my BGE plate setter to store now, I also have extra grids and the Woo2 when not in use. I don't want a table for my Egg at this point because we know we are not going to reside at our current home for too terribly much longer and I figure I'd like to do it right and only once when we move into our next(and hopefully last) home. Anyway, I am wanting some type of cart on wheels with enough storage space underneath for my AR, Woo2, BGE plate setter, and extra grids when not in use. Plus, I'd like the top to be heat resistant so that I can use it as a staging area while doing my cooks. If I could find something on wheels I could roll it up next to my Egg during my cooks. Anyone have any suggestions? Otherwise, this might be something I have to build myself in order to get exactly what I need or want.

    I've been thinking about doin the same thing. A nice rolling cart would be the ticket. So many accessories. I was thinking of buying a vanity from lowes. Reinforce the bottom with treated 3/4 plywood. Add some casters and a piece of granite for the top. Should be around 100$ maybe a little more but shoud only take an hour to put together. Ill be watching this thread

    This is not an idea but I have a table with some cheap casters on it.   Do yourself a favor and put some good casters on for ease of rolling around.  Mine stays outside and moisture may keep my cheaper casters a lil' rusty.  Just a thought.

    My preference would be to have something that is somewhat weather proof. In case, I would want to leave it sitting out at times. Although, rolling it in and out of my garage and up to the house prolly wouldn't be too big of a hassle other than I have a gravel drive that I'd have to be rolling it through/across.

    Sam's Club has a fairly nice SS prep table with a wire shelf beneath.  I'm pretty sure the instruction sheet will have a place to get another shelf if needed and it wouldn't take too much design work to enclose it and put a door or two on the front.  A pal of mine bought a couple of the plastic bins and places them on the shelf to store his Eggcessories.

    I'm thinking I might just have to build one. Might be a really fun project that I could get really creative with! I'm envisioning some type of old stone or tile top with some very old or aged barn wood wrapped around on the sides. I plan to get good heavy casters under it to make it roll around easier. Just going to have to be careful that the end result doesn't get too big and heavy that I can't easily move it around!

    I fixed up a Jack Daniels barrel with shelves and doors. ..Top had slate tile embedded in a round top that lifted off for additional access. Wheels would be easy. No pics as I sold it. With I'd Kept it.

    I am thinking about one of these with a natural stone top(since I have plenty remnants). image
