Quarantine Projects!

That's the link for them. Using skates in one form or another as machine feet is certainly possible. These things are super solid.
 
$40 is cheap but I'm hoping hman can enlighten us as to sturdiness. My main concern was drawer slides and it's looks like bent metal with some plastic sliders? That isn't a complete deal breaker but for moderate stuff it would be fine but it might need some reinforcing to hold heavy stuff. Check out the assembly instructions on the IKEA site.
The drawers are relatively thin sheet metal. Fold lines are indicated by lines of narrow slots. The drawers have down-curled guides on both sides. The cabinets have matching up-curled guides. I lubed all the slides with STP. After folding the drawers, I closed the slots and reinforced the other folded assembly points with hot-melt glue.
I Wouldn't want to store anything really heavy in the drawers, but everything has worked well since I built the carousel.
