What does everyone use for storing their supplies? I currently have 2 small kitchen cabinets in my office and 1 cabinet (locked) in the back of the main office. I have alot of my supplies stored under my cots. I have been given permission from my admin to make a list of what I would like, but I am stuck on deciding what to use for my supply storage.

My office is rather large for my population, so I have a counter and sink in my office with cabinets and drawers that are full, as well as on top of the cabinets. Because of all of the PPE for COVID, I bought one of those metal shelving units from amazon (I think it was around $60) to store PPE and testing supplies, but that has also been taken over with screening and health ED materials. I have a small rolling metal cabinet that was used for our now-defunct fluoride program materials, and I'm slowly making my way through that stuff to clear that cabinet out. I got a cheap, plastic set of drawers for extra clothes & undies. There is a low cabinet with a couple of larger drawers and an open cabinet space that is full of more screening materials, sensory tools, and toothbrushes (COLGATE CAN STOP SENDING THEM ANYTIME!!) Other than that, various plastic under-bed storage for other clothes and shoes, older electronics. I also have locking filing cabinets for health records....
