Hopefully my lack of hitting answers to the above topic was not due to not being creative with search words.

I am trying to locate some type of storage cabinet for my various photo papers. Previously I used a steel constructed wall unit and would prefer to locate a type of wooden cabinet.

My second searched for item is a multi level stand that would allow me to stack my Canon Pro9500, Canon i9900, laser and Epson scanner. The first mentioned printer takes a fair amount of RE and the scanner needs clearance to lift the top. Therefore, I hope to find a stand which is stable enough to use pullout type shelves.

Has anyone found solutions for the above two needs?
Thanks,
Steve

I have used a two drawer file cabinet for this purpose. Though the scanner
isn't a part of that. You could probably use a two drawer lateral filing cabinet
and have a bit more room.

Both come in a wood finish.

Thank you for your reply. I have a 2-drawer (over/under) in oak. Though the top surface area is too small for either of my color printers, the lateral would hold one of them. For years I've used an 8-foot folding table but would prefer to find something vertical with pull-out shelves. That would allow me to access whichever peripheral (printer/scanner) I wanted. I may have to work with a cabinet maker and have something custom built.
Thanks again,
Steve

Before you try the custom route, what about trying a shelf that's wide enough
for your printer/scanner? You could set this atop your cabinet (blocking it up
with something to give it a bit of a reveal). Maybe something like 4 furniture
feet fastened to the shelf.

You can find shelving at most home centers. It comes in a variety of different
finishes too.

Just a thought for you.
