When we did art shows we had a waist height cabinet/stand that held the cash register with shelves underneath for misc items and bags. Had an attractive carved railing around the front. We got it at a thrift for $5, it worked great but was heavy. We were often with a guy who had built an excellent cart & stand. Not sure I can remember it all but he had a flat cart with wheels, on top was a cabinet he made that lay on it's back and opened to store things inside - when he got there he unloaded it and it set up as a checkstand. He could bring everything in in one trip, including his work, unload, set it up and used the cart in some way. Everything had a place and set up very nice, when it was over, he broke it down, put it all back on the cart and made one trip back to his van. I drew it out one day but sure I don't have it anymore. I used to use the plastic drawers under the table to hold extra materials but they wouldn't be strong enough to use as a desk. You may find interesting items at thrift stores, the unfinished wood store, goodwill etc. I saw several items that could work at the Habitat for Humanity Restore on Friday. For my shop my husband used a folding table. Used 2x6's to make risers the legs sat in. Then used wood panelling to make a three sided backing that set around the table. Worked so good we did the same thing when we needed extra tables for shows. Made them the perfect height and instead of the wood panelling I made skirting to go around with slits at the back to slide things in and out. Very inexpensive and looked professional.

I have a plastic supplies holder that I use as my desk but it's
getting a bit seedy so am thinking of replacing it = am looking for
something close to waist height, that also will transport items or
store them, that won't cost an arm and a leg but hold up well = any
suggestions on stores to look for such as well as suggestions on
items to get? Thanks.
