I did this project before even seeing this! RV stores receive most of their shipments in wooden boxes about this size and shape. Simply cut a hole in the side to let the water drain out, and add legs. In my case, I used milk boxes I got from the local convenience store, and stapled a heavy duty garbage bag to the bottom of the box, and a bucket under the hole. This is actually my indoor seed starting table.

 This is a great idea and perfect for ppl with bad backs as well as a space multiplyer. Am I right in assuming the plastic is to make it easier to water all the containers?
