Will you really find it convenient to roll a storage unit, with all your bottles and jars rattling around in it, in and out of your bathroom twice a day? Do you have enough floor space in your bedroom (or wherever) that it won't be in the way? Be sure to read the actual measurements of the item being sold, grab a ruler, and look at how tall that actually is in real life. A lot of storage drawers are barely thigh-high, but loads of vendors have AI "example" photos that are very much NOT to scale compared to the human figures in them. Even shopping in-store, sometimes I see neat storage pieces and other small furniture at Ross and TJ Maxx, but then when I take them off the display pedestal thing and set them down on the floor to get a feel for what it'd be like to actually use it, I realize they're shorter than what I'd like. Also, measure the height of the drawers and consider what you'll do with things that are too tall to fit. Store them somewhere else? Tip bottles over onto their sides? You could have tall things in a basket/bin on top, but you'll need to deal with it possibly toppling over/falling off when you roll it around. If the unit has bars/grid stuff that you could put a hook on, one solution might be to put tall bottles in bags and hang them from hooks off the side, although that could lead to your cart being overbalanced and tippy if they're heavy and all on the same side. Speaking of short, are you willing to bend over/ crouch down on the bathroom floor to access the stuff in the lower drawers? You could just leave the bottom drawers empty if you don't have that much stuff, but in that case, do you really need a set of rolling drawers? (Granted, your answer may still be "yes"--for instance, if you use the bottom drawers to store your stockpile of extra razors and soap and stuff, or personal-care gadgets that you don't use very often.) Also consider that you may need to come up with an organization system for inside the drawers if you have tons of little packets and containers, so you're not rummaging through a mishmosh of items looking for what you need. (Granted, it's not HARD to do that--appropriately-sized plastic or cardstock boxes/packages cut down short work fine if you don't want to buy more pieces--maybe use a bit of tape to tape them to the bottom or side of the drawer to keep them from sliding around.) As you can tell from my response, I'm not super in love with your idea of rolling drawers, but yeah, it may be a good solution for you. I'd suggest trying to shop in-store/in-person, so you can really feel how sturdy/stable a piece feels, how big it really is, how smoothly the drawers slide, etc. As an alternative to rolling drawers, I'm thinking, keep your daily-use items out on the bathroom counter. For non-daily-use oversized things, wherever seems like a good place they can fit (on the counter but in a bin pushed to the back/side? On a bathroom shelf? In a basket/bin under the sink?) And for tiny little non-daily use things, I'm thinking something like a flat, hanging accessories organizer, with pockets you can see into. Something along the lines of this (Target) or this (Amazon)--I'm sure you can also find similar items in-person at big-box and discount stores.
