DIY Rolling Storage Drawers for Under the Bed

Under the bed is a perfect place for some extra storage. Rolling drawers allow easy access to the storage. However, you don’t even have to purchase storage drawers. Not only are they cheaper to make than normal under-the-bed storage drawers, you can also customize them to your own liking. You don’t even have to make the drawers from scratch – just buy old drawers at a thrift store or garage sale.
