No where as nice as a decked drawer system but its a fraction of the cost. It has a ton of totes of various sizes tucked away under the platform. I like that its almost level with the split gate and keeps things hidden from prying eyes. Center section pops up for tables and such to slide into. I used 80/20 extruded aluminum for the frame with a 1/2 plywood top. Its 2 individual sections so I can take it out at camp and use as a cooler riser. I'm thinking I have about $300 into it inc/paint. Son picked the base color and grand daughter splatter painted the tops.
