Ha genius! I like the idea, much easier than putting everything on nonmovable tables

GREAT idea though. my wife hates it when I steal an end table to drip acclimate a new addition and I put the lamp on the floor lol.

Needs a small tank on top just to improve the look?! Or would that be a MTS problem?

I know the feeling.
Regarding the cart, can you screw in J shaped hooks (used for hanging things like garden tools and bikes) onto the underside of the middle shelf? You could hang the python from there.

I had thought of that fresh2o,and I have the hooks . I found out doing my WC's today that I needed a towel rack and I just finished fashioning one and putting it on the long side. Thanks for the tip.

New reality show: "Pimp my cart"
Towel rack is a great idea. If not, I would have suggested an inexpensive under cabinet style paper towel holder/dispenser mounted under the top shelf.

Leeatl - Perfect!!!
I think I will look for a microwave cart and deck it out! I can wheel it back to my utility closet and there is a work space built in... AMAZING!!!!!
Yes, a superb idea - simple yet so useful. How many more things can you think of, a towel rack, a Python holder...??? I am gonna need 2 towel racks because I am extra messy.
Anyone use that Rustoleum for water repellent for wood yet? I have been thinking of it for my cabinet I have tanks on and think it would be a good thing for your cart.

I saw someone just in front of me walking out of the ReStore with a perfect cart like a small library cart. So envious I missed it!!!

You are welcome!
A wood printer stand on wheels would work. Check the Goodwill store too.
