The OP has a Lexus logo for an Avatar so maybe the $$ isn't an issue. :sombrero:

Yeah - I am just made out of money. Have it laying around to degree that is a little annoying. [/Fantasy Off]

Funny considering some folks pay $1600 for two drawers.

I do not have the means to build something myself. Buying the tools, materials, and time would be greater than a purchase like this.

Now the website is working, the dimensions reveal it is too small internally to be much good anyway.

It's hard to know until you try a bunch of stuff. I bought a closet organizer once that would never be durable over time but it gave me a good idea on what would work and what wouldn't with an old Trooper I drove.
