  • Anyone here with decent woodworking skills able to build me something similar to the below to be used as under sofa storage?

    The sofa is quite low, space underneath it is 182 x 92 x 14cm, so imagine it would need to be on recessed wheels.

  • If the 19cm height of the Songesand includes that front panel maybe you can just cut it down to fit? Could also replace wheels with sliders which would give you a bit more breathing room.

  • Roller ball castors would be a practical solution. 5/8” roller balls would lose you about 2cm in height, but they could be mounted to a recessed piece of ply. Allowing for clearance, that would give you maybe 11cm of depth for storage. Is that too little?

  • I can’t find recessed wheels for sale anywhere. An alternative would be side plate mounted castors but they all look ugly.

  • I made almost exactly that out of MDF to go under a sofa, then repurposed (reduced height) to go under the TV unit when we sold the sofa. It did indeed have recessed wheels, just simple non-swivel castors from B&Q. It was very straight forward with a track saw. The front back and sides were all the same height, so it meant cutting a long straight strip then cutting to length (2 short, 2 long). Glued and screwed together. Handle cut out using a jigsaw with tealights used as templates for the curved corners.

    How much is that one?

  • I made basically that out of pallet wood on a plywood base. It stands about 12 cm tall.

    It's my bike bits storage!
