How to add drawer space to a card table?
by
Sally
My desktop computer and printer are situated on two side by side cardtables in corner of room and clutter accumulates on top. I would like to add additional storage space like a drawer under the top of one of the tables.

I suggest measuring the spaces and shopping for some of those inexpensive plastic drawer units that will fit beneath the table. That way you'll have storage from the floor up to just beneath the table top. You'll have to allow for the space where the tabletop hinges take up space beneath the top. However the tops of the drawer unit can serve as a space for a ream of paper or two.
Cardtables typically don’t have enough structure to hang drawer glides from.
Yes, floor units are best.
Hi Sally! There are many stores that carry great storage cubes and drawers that pull out. I would check on Amazon for storage units. Many of your neighborhood stores will have them as well. You might check Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Big Lots, and the departments in Home Depot and Lowe's. I think that would be your best solution to your problem. You might put this in between the card tables or as Janice suggested. Good luck!
I got one on wheels from Amazon a few years ago, and it has served me well in different homes and in different ways from the bathroom to the bedroom and even the kitchen. Here is a link for Amazon storage:
