What do you set your cage on!?

Hey all, I recently upgraded to a cage from an aquarium. I was wondering what everyone uses for a cage stand. I searched for ones specifically made for Zoo Med, but I was unable to find one. So, what all do you use for stands? I'd like to get one to hide the cords and chameleon care items.
 
I place my 24x24x48 screen cages on top of a plastic utility tub from Lowe's. They have the same dimensions, so I just ziptie them together. Then, I use the drain at the bottom and place a bucket under there to catch any excess water, so drainage is a snap. The sink is on 4 legs, so it give my 48" cage an extra 2 feet or so, and the bottom is simple to clean because it's just plastic. I put a piece of screen over the drain hole, and set my plants on there - I do that to keep any rogue feeders from escaping, but the water can still drain. As for the cords, I then just run them down the back (outside) of the cage to the outlet, and they are pretty hidden. Good luck!

This.. I have basically the same setup. Sometimes simple is best
 
I have a quite tall kitchen table that was sitting in my basement which can hold all my supplies on a single table.
 
I purchase a children's activity table online thats 48 x 24. Its plastic and I can adjust the height.
 
I'm using a re-purposed night stand. We pulled the drawers out of it and added a curtain, so now there is room for my cricket keeper, supplements, etc right there, but out of sight :)
 
Come to think of it..you can also try looking at a sporting goods store or fishing store like Bass Pro for a "game processing table". Its just a simple fold out sturdy plastic table with sink in it with a hose and bucket attached. Pretty much ideal, the store near me sells them for 69.99
