Plastic Storage Drawers & Cubes
Welcome to
our plastic
storage drawers page! These types of drawers come
in different types and sizes. They can either fit into a
larger frame, be standalone, or stackable. The type that
you purchase solely depends on your specific needs. The
selection available is a bit mind boggling and can cause
information overload if you are not prepared. Think of
where you want to put them and the type of things that
will go inside. This will allow for you to measure out
how large the storage are is, and also help decide on
the number of drawers or cubes.
As you can get
dividers and additional storage
furniture it
is best to do a bit of pre-planning before deciding on
the exact one that you want to get. If you do your
homework and research, it is very possible to build an
amazing storage
system for a decent price and not have
to replace or exchange any of the
parts.
These
storage
systems are
very versatile and can fit many different needs. They work just
as great in a arts & crafts room as they do in a kids room,
or in the garage being used for tools and other accessories.
The stackable
drawers can
be used as a nightstand to hold your clothes as well as some of
the things that you might need during the night right next to
the bed. I have also used a smaller one to segragate papers and
files in my home office. The uses for these is only limited by
your
imagination.
Plastic Storage
Cabinet
This type of a
cabinet is great if you are interested in storing a wide
assortment of supplies and parts. The clear case see-through
drawers are best as they provide the ability to quickly
identify what is laying within them. The cabinet frame works to
support the entire cabinet, add strength, and allow for
smoother drawer action. Try to find one with ribbed drawer
pulls, otherwise if your hands are greasy or you do not grab it
correctly it might be hard to get the drawers open. This is
especially true, if they are filled with heavy things, or
something is laying wrong and preventing the drawer from
opening.
I also
recommend to find one with built-in stop tabs so that the
drawers don't fall out as well as one that mounts so that the
entire frame is sturdy. The last thing that you want is for the
entire thing to fall on you or even someone else and cause an
unnecessary injury. Drawer
dividers are
also available to increase storage
space.
Plastic Storage
Parts
A parts organizer can have numerous
compartment
drawers and
is also made out of plastic. The most common colors that this
product comes in is either clear or black. The organizers
feature pull-out drawers so that you can easily find small
hardware and other accessories. I tend to use it for in my shop
for nails, screws and things like that but the storage would be
just as convenient for my wife or
kids.
The best thing to do is mount it on the wall
so that it is sturdy and at upper body level for easier access
and so that you can fit a bench or large storage
bin underneath,
but it is also possible to simply stack it. The drawers
on some of these might tip out pretty easily so be
careful of that. The main problem I had with it was when
it was not hanged and simply stood by itself as it would
wobble back and forth or almost fall to the
front.
Plastic Storage
Bins
These are
the bins or compartments
that you store your
belongings in. If you purchase one with
spring-loaded
windows,
this feature will keep the bins open while you are using
them so that they do not close by themselves. You can
find them with a various number of compartments and the
size would depend on the specific needs. They come at
different price points and a bit of research can go a
long way in finding the perfect product that will help
and not detract from your organizing.
I hope that his has helped you
get an idea of what is available before you settle on one of
the ideal plastic
storage drawers for
you.
