QuestionCan this product be built into a cabinet?
Asked 9 years ago by Lynn.
- Answer The instructions that come with it specifically say not to build it in. It requires a few inches of space all around it for cooling airflow. It also says not to put it in a garage... it would be nice if these kinds of notations were put in a detailed description on the website to see before you purchase.

Asked 8 years ago by LLNort.
- Answer I tried putting mine in the garage and it didn't work very well as it was to hot, I now keep it in my office down stairs where it stays very cool, still doesn't work as well as I think it should but it does keep drinks cooler than it did in the garage.

Asked 7 years ago by TheMilkman.

QuestionIs there a place on the bottom for wheels to be easily installed/screwed in?
Asked 7 years ago by George.
- Answer You could get one of Harbor Freight's cheap small wood/carpet-covered "furniture movers" (simple platforms on casters) and set this unit on top of it: Instant wheels! Look for item "SKU 58312" (this SMALL one is 12"x18" for $12.99 right now, 6-20-23, as just went there and looked). They come a bit larger, too, but I'm guessing this smaller one would work okay. It will also be useful if you ever need to move other things in the future. Good luck...
