Transform an Old Filing Cabinet Into a Garage Storage Unit

Thanks to modern technology, we can now keep our owner's manuals, legal papers and other important documents online and in the cloud. As a tragic result, our sturdy, old filing cabinets are becoming obsolete. That's why we love this upcycle idea from Trash to Treasure: Turn your old, empty cabinet into a useful garage storage unit: http://blog.brightnest.com/2012/09/12/transf...

    What a clever idea! I like the addition of rollers, for moving around but also for not scratching your basement or garage floor. Easy to follow instructions, too.

    We have one of these, though we still use a couple drawers for filing it's tempting to repurpose it as you have. It's really a Bright Idea!
