I was wondering if you might have some advice regarding storage options. I collect board games, and, for some of those games there are ‘cards' that need to be stored separately. Currently, I store these cards in a plastic rolling 3-drawer cart (actually, about 8 rolling carts, stacked two high), so that, I have 24 drawers in total. The problem, of course, is that the weight of these cards is so substantial, that opening the drawer is nearly impossible. Initially, I NEEDED to get a rolling container (because, I was positioning these cards in front of doors that needed access), but I've since moved, and no longer need them to be rolling. Here is a link to the type of cart I have (http://www.officemax.com/max/solutions/product/prodBlock.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&...) although, not quite that good quality – I was wondering if you could possibly recommend something that would be roughly the same size as two of these stacked (or, even taller – it can be as tall as 5 feet), and roughly the same width (although, again, that would be assuming I needed four units. The total ‘wall space' for those four units is currently about 100”, and I couldn't extend much more than that. I'd be looking for something that is more durable, where the weight of the cards would not be so much of an impact on the opening of the drawers, while still being a semi-affordable option (meaning, less than $100 for the whole system, if possible).
