I wanted the cooler to sit up at torso level so you don't have to bend down to look/get into it. So I built this cabinet for it to sit on. It looks a little funny on the bottom because I have to use a 2x4 and a 1x2 to prop it up to be level. My basement has angled edging for drainage in case of a flood. Took me a while to get the finishing touches on the cabinet and I didn't want to post pics of it unfinished. Put on the handles & hardware today.
It works really well so far! For around probably $325 for the whole thing cabinet and all I am pretty happy with it!
Anyway here it is:
Heres a good shot of the cooler itself:
