Dirt Church Bamboo Worktop Drawer Bracket Kit Review: A Smart Add-On for Stack System Users

Introduction

Rolling stack systems are already one of the best ways to keep a shop or studio flexible: drawers go where you need them, and the whole thing rolls out of the way when it does not. The Dirt Church bamboo worktop drawer bracket kit builds on that idea with a simple but clever accessory: a bamboo worktop drawer you mount to the side of your existing stack system, giving you extra tool storage and more surface area to spread out on.

It comes from a small company based in Idaho, it is made in the USA, and it has quickly become a favorite add-on in a busy shop and studio space. Here is how it performs, what to know before buying, and where the small compromises are.

Who This Kit Is For

This kit makes the most sense if you already own a compatible rolling stack system. It is designed for ToughBuilt’s StackTech-style system, and the maker also offers versions for the Milwaukee PACKOUT system and the Flex system, so you can match the kit to whatever platform you run. If your cart lives on four-wheel casters rather than the two-wheel setup, the combination is especially convenient: the whole unit rolls anywhere, sits at a comfortable workbench height, and the wood top handles all sorts of tasks.

If you work out of a small shop, studio, or garage where a fixed workbench wastes floor space, a side-mounted drawer like this changes how you use the cart day to day. You gain somewhere to put tools, parts, and projects in progress, and you gain it without giving up mobility.

What Comes in the Kit

The kit includes the bamboo worktop drawer itself, two mounting brackets, and an adapter plate. The bamboo is laser etched with the maker’s logo along with some measurements and conversion amounts, a nice touch that keeps useful reference markings right on the work surface.

The adapter plate is 3D printed, which is a genuinely smart choice for a small operation. Injection molds for a part like this would cost tens of thousands of dollars, far beyond what a low-volume maker can justify. The printed plate has a bolt at the top, likely for stability or strength, and a set screw on the bottom that locks everything in place once you have it positioned where you want it.

Installation and Setup

Some assembly is required, but it is straightforward. The recommended approach is to drive three wood screws into the bracket assembly, clamp it in place, fit both brackets, position everything where you want it on the cart, and then tighten the set screw to lock it down. That is the whole process. Nothing here requires special tools or a long afternoon, and once it is on, it stays put.

Everyday Use and Why We Added a Second One

In use, the drawer earns its place quickly. The cart still rolls around easily with the drawer attached, and the side-mounted position puts tools within reach while keeping the top surface free for actual work. The maker also offers tray versions of the same idea, so you can run a tray on one side or both, and mix and match however suits your workflow.

The system proved useful enough that a second unit went on the left side of the setup. Two drawers means more room to spread out tools and more space to work on things, and at this point it has become a daily-use part of the shop. The same company also makes a small pedestal unit with fold-out wings that gets regular use as well.

Things to Consider Before Buying

The kit is not perfect. The bamboo finish is not as refined as a factory finish, and the surface can throw the occasional splinter, so a light sanding followed by a clear coat is a reasonable plan to seal it. If you know your way around bamboo finishing, there may be a better sealing option worth exploring.

Price is another consideration: at $55 per kit, it is not cheap. That said, for a made-in-USA product from a small two-person operation, using 3D printed parts and even reusing Inside Out Express shipping boxes, the value feels fair for what you get. Availability is limited to the maker’s own channels, so check their site for current options for your specific stack system.

Buying Advice

If you are invested in a compatible stack system, ToughBuilt StackTech, Milwaukee PACKOUT, or Flex, and you keep wishing your rolling cart had one more drawer or a bit more work surface, this kit is an easy recommendation. It is simple, it is well thought out, and it solves a real problem without getting in the way. Just plan on a quick sanding and sealing pass when it arrives, and budget $55 per kit if you want a matched pair like the setup described here.

Conclusion

The Dirt Church bamboo worktop drawer bracket kit is a small accessory that meaningfully changes how a rolling stack system works day to day. Smart design choices like the 3D printed adapter plate, thoughtful details like the etched measurements, and genuine everyday utility make it a standout shop add-on. The unfinished bamboo surface is the one weak point, but it is an easy fix. If your cart could use another drawer and a better top, this is a kit worth checking out.
