content: I've had a pair of those 33 drawer boxes for a while now. Pretty handy, but you really need to put some stickers on the drawers to really make them useful (it's on the to-do list).

content: That 17 drawer unit look a bit ugly to me although I recon it would accommodate quite a few couch feet.These look like they have plastic frames which depending on the plastic used can be prone to cracking.CPC have some 44 drawer storage units with a metal frame for a reasonable price £18.http://cpc.farnell.com/raaco/126762/cabinet-organiser-44-compartment/dp/SG3282467?ost=SG3282467

content: Quote from: TCWilliamson on February 22, 2016, 06:28:54 pmA disadvantage with typical metal frame cabinets is that they have a lip - and components do jam against the lip and prevent the drawer being pulled outPlastic cabinets are typically better in that respect, but they have different disadvantages.As for durability, I have plastic cabinets with small drawers from the 1980s.

content: Quote from: MrSlack on February 22, 2016, 06:54:52 pmThat all comes down to respecting your equipment. (I keep all mine mounted on a wall)as for noise... not sure why it's an issue?component sticking can be a pain, just try to have enough draws that you don't cram.

content: I've bought these drawers a few years ago to hold the nuts and bolts in my garage. Two small drawer sets and four with the larger drawers. The larger drawers are light grey in my set and the seperators are black. IIRC I've paid €10 each.

content: These have been in Aldi again for the past week or so. Still priced at £8.99.Just bought two of each type. Good storage units, and very well priced too.More dividers in the drawers would have been useful, but I reckon I can make some out of cutting either plastic milk containers or takeaway containers.Happy days.Trys

content: Have two of these cabinets and think they do have a small design fault. When you open a drawer you (or me in this case) tend to lift it up slightly, that causes the drawer to get stuck on the upper edge. Is this just me or does anyone recognize this?Not a big deal, considering the price.

content: I see what you mean about the little ridge causing it to stick momentarily!A way to solve it would be to run small slithers of wood just to bring out all the drawers a fraction, or those adhesive foam or felt pads that you can pick up in Poundland.Trys
