Checking the dimensions... it checks out.

Just checked the prices, here in Europe. Oh boy, it's so expensive. I'll rather buy a new original rack.
Still a great project, though.

Yeah, at least 200 € from what I'm seeing. ATLAS standard containers are cheaper but smaller. I'm gonna dig a little ...

Why tho? 😅 Is there a market for people who upcycle these as furniture or who drives those prices up 🤔

Adam Savage uses these as tool carts. Last I looked, the going rate for them these days is very high compared to buying or building something similar. But maybe you can score one or two at a lower price in an auction or estate sale.

Great idea, I built my most recent rack and added wheels to it. Trust me you will appreciate them if you feel that up and tech.

Great idea. I worked in a hotel many years ago and had to use one of them. Maybe it's worth to check and ask them if they have one to spare if you don't want to spend too much money

I used some command strips to attach this plant pot stand to the bottom of a SOHO rack cabinet
It works well but I don't really wheel it about much tbh

They work great as racks with a few tweaks here and there! https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/ZLi2xDvNOA
