Built a box with wheels to plop the router table on. Two drawers for storage. Routed a cove in 1×2 poplar for drawer pulls. It’s all assemvled with dado and screws. The drawers are pocket screw construction of 1/2 plywood and 1/4 hardboard bottoms. The fronts are poplar. The table top is now 36 in high. Not sure if i like that height. Anyone have a preference for router table height?

Great looking set up.
I’ve got mine around 36” as well. I used a 3’0” 7’0” solid core birch veneer door on a 2×4 and 2×6 base. It has a piece of 3/8” poly-carbonate recessed flush with the surface, and a shop built fence. I built it when I was working out of my garage and everything had to perform more than one function.
I could drop the router bit down, remove the fence and use the whole bench for assembly. Now I have my miter saw mounted on the opposite side with stock support wings that extend 4 feet on each side of the saw.

Good looking cabinet and a nice compliment to your router table. Before converting the table saw into a router table combo my designated router table was 38’’. I’m not a tall person but it felt comfortable whenever I did router work.

You did a nice job on building this storage cart base for your router table.
