Planning to build a router table to replace my current one, which is

I'm building a base. I'm avoiding the Rockler stand because I want
drawers and dust collection case around the router. Seeking
suggestions on builds (pictures also, if available) but nothing too
complicated. I don't need a luxury style, just more practical.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Suggestion: make sure that the finished height matches your tablesaw and
workbench height so that the router table can be an outfeed or extension
support if you remove the fence.
I second the height suggestion. I would also put the cabinet on wheels
so you can arrange your workspace to fit the job you are doing.

I have my workbench and table saw on wheels. I can use the workbench
as an out feed for the table saw, as a layout table when working on the
saw, or have the workbench and table saw arranged for minimum movement
when I am cutting many pieces. I can do the same thing with my router
table. However mine is not on a bench and when I am doing intensive
router work have it clamped to the table saw, with the workbench in the
most convenient positions.
