I was really surprised to find that after lifting cushions and removing 6 screws i had a new undiscovered storage locker of pretty reasonable size!
This is the new left hand locker- all I had to do was remove the 6 screws holding lid down and fit 2 SS hinges- i also had to trim off about 10mm off leading edge solid would clear timber panel under bed

this is the new locker on the RHS - the lid wont lift all the way up as it fouls the under bed timber, but it is still a useful storage bin. Trying to post more pics, but cant see how!!
I wanted to add that I had to cut a 1.1/2 strip off the left hand or forward edge and 1/2 off the right hand or rearward edge, in both cases tapering back to the rear most edge. If I can work out how, I will add the pics!

I am actually storing all of my leads etc in this now

this locker to left is the most useful as the lid hinges back and rests on side wall and is quite large
