Re: hightop - what did you do with yours?

sorry its crude but I did think about installing a rear half cupboard slightly on the incline and using a couple of the underbed roller plastic storage boxes in it then as you pull down the rear cupboard door it would form a platform for the boxes to roll forward on. http://i584.photobucket.com/albu...
