This is an old metal bus boy's cart. Where they clear the tables & put the dishes inside. I use this for my potting mix & it is perfect. Really cheap at a thrift store. Will hold several bags of mix & you can use the bottom shelf for pots, etc. It is 33" tall, not counting the handles. The top bin is 30 X 15" & 19" deep so it will hold a lot of mix. The bottom part is 5" deep. I'm sure you can find these at places that sell used restaurant supplies.

This is a plastic bin that you use to store your long rolls of Christmas paper & slide under the bed. It made the perfect lid to keep the rain out. Always spraying things white in my yard so I lay them on top of this when its not being used for a lid on my handy potting cart. Also came from a thrift store.

trickiwoo, I found one of those years ago at a thrift store,although it was probably used as a filing cabinet as it had a top that slides back. DH appropriated it and it now resides in his building with all of his other "stuff".

Try the places that sell used restaurant supplies. Think they should have them.
