Paint the table in your desired color. You may need several coats to achieve optimal coverage.

Allow the paint to dry completely before spraying the entire surface with a clear spray sealant, which will protect the paint from scratching or peeling.

Flip the painted cart onto its top and attach casters to the bottoms of each leg using the screw gun.

Flip the table back upright. After determining where you want to place the desktop vertical filing system, secure the system in place using a hot glue gun. Make appropriate labels for each section, such as "Active," "To Be Filed," and "To Be Sent." Use the open area next to the desktop filer for larger paper items, such as manila envelopes.

Place the paper-storage baskets on the shelf of the table. Use them for holding items such as blank paper, blank envelopes, labels, pens, letter openers and stamps.

Place your desk items into the jars, and fasten them onto the lids.
