For the bottom table (the one that would be the base), I actually used the 8″ legs, which are $14 for a set of 4, because I liked the look of it being higher. I needed six sets, one for each table top. These legs are usually used for bathroom cabinets.
Then I attached Ikea Capita legs to them. And the white tabletops are only $5.99 each. They are about 24″ x 40″, which is a great size for papers up to 24″ x 36″. The table tops I bought were the Linnmon. I figured out I could buy table tops – the most lightweight and cheapest ones Ikea makes – and make a flat file shelving system out of it. Not able to find an inexpensive or used solution on Craigslist or eBay, I decided to make my own flat file storage with the help of some Ikea parts. They make large stackable trays for paper, and I thought I could do that, until I found out each tray was around $100. I then looked at cabinets for construction and poster paper that are used for schools, and they were also expensive. I looked into buying flat file cabinets like the ones that architects use for blueprints, and they are super expensive. When you hoard paper like I do, and you’ve got large pieces of art paper, you want a place to put them. I’ve wanted flat file storage for so long.
