Dumb mistake in lego room setup #2

 Here was my second failure in an attempt to make a cool lego room, using dollies to move my drawer cabinets around on the work bench.

Ahh, the elusive $7.99 advertised dolly that's never in stock.  More elusive than the rarest of minifigs!



My inspiration for this idea came when I saw this picture below years ago...would give anything for this setup!!!


From Carney Castle.com (excellent website and builder!).  Also on Pinterest!

I looked up similar pics and found


So I had the brilliant idea to try this with the cabinets that I had i.e. the following inspiration, I would make my drawer cabinets and sterilite able to be moved around...

Like the childhood game below.
Although as the puzzle above shows, there has to be an empty space on the counter with the cabinets, not the vast one between my ears!
Rush hour, same type of game getting the red car (i.e. exact lego drawer) out

Well to do this, I was going to buy cheap dollies from a local store...unfortunately I could never get the dollies, they were always on sale but never in stock!!!

So I set up a front row of storage bins and a back row..such a genius...we'll see


Above and below are back wall bins withour being covered by the sterilite drawers
Here above. I put small bins in the back

Finally as in the 2 pictures below and the one above, I blocked all chance of getting to drawer cabinets with big plastic bins...what was I thinking?


So the back row hides behind the front row.  The problem is that I have no place to work on the bench and not enough room to move the front row out of the way....I wasn't as smart as I thought I was!

So ill keep looking at the options to make this work!!!

Also, I should put the lighter plastic cabinets in front...hindsight is 20/20
