Storage box design

Post by wgander »

Please offer some suggestions for the design of a storage box.
There is unused space under my workbench: 33" wide, 36" deep, 24 1/2" tall. I'm considering stacking two boxes, maybe dividing them in half (16" wide instead of 33"), and maybe dividing one into two (6" and 18" tall).
I don't think drawers would work because of the 36" depth. The entire assembly will be on casters for access so the box can be used as a workspace.
First question: is 1/2" plywood strong enough, or should I use 3/4"?
Second question: any other design ideas?
