Default Tying Station

I have been tying flys for almost a year now. I use to sit at my computer desk and tie them. It was good but I wasnt spending "quality" time with my wife, as she put it. So now I sit in the living room and tie as we watch TV,Gotta love that "quality" time. I think she was just lonley. I have been siting in the floor with a little workbench I made. I am looking at building a bigger better workbench/desk to get me off the floor. Having problems with the dog liking my animal hides a bit to much. I have some ideas what I want and have even drawn a picture of a prototype. Its a desk on wheels. Big enough to store my gear and small enough to roll out of the way when compainy comes.Before I build it tho I want some feedback.Here is what I want to incorperate into it.
1- Spool Holders
2- Hook orginazation and storage
3- easyly empted trash bin
4- wheels
5- good lighting
here are some sketch's of what im thinking
