My art room is FULL! I've been trying to find a way to get my paints in the same area near my desk. I've seen the Ikea Raskog cart
RÅSKOG
Utility cart
$29.99
Unit price on several artist sites and decided that I could squeeze one more thing into my room if it would hold all of my paints and inks and art mediums. I purchased the cart and spent the hour putting it together (maybe not that long, but enough time to know that I wish I could buy it already assembled).
I had it filled completely in no time and still had a significant amount of paints and mediums left over. I began to look for containers that would stack and give me more space but I couldn't come up with the right combination that would be useful. I looked through Ikea catalog and found a small file cabinet whose dimensions would fit inside the cart.

Drawer unit

I purchased the file cabinet, put it together and WHAT!!!!! It wouldn't fit in the cart. After tinkering with it a bit, I realized that I could make it fit on the outside, plus I would still be able to store things on the top. Yay, yay, yay!!! Here it is put together.
Here is a closeup of the bolts
Here is the cart partially filled with paints and mediums. I think it's a winner!
