Review on 🧴 ArtBin 6959AB Bottle Storage Super Satchel - Portable Case for 0.5oz Bottles by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointing because it can be great.

If anyone from ArtBin is reading this review: Please repeat it because it's so close to being awesome and a must have for any miniaturist using Reaper, Vallejo or paints of the same size. If you look at the picture you will understand why this is a great idea. For 64 color bottles. The trays slide out to form a paint stand and since it's half the size it doesn't take up much space on your desk. Painting stand + heavy-duty media and storage space. So far everything is awesome. But. the box is the problem. It's much larger (1 inch in both dimensions). There is almost 1 inch of space between the trays in the box, so they move a little horizontally. At the top of the box there is an extra gap between the bottles and the lid. basically these trays just flap and rattle while driving. Although it seems (judging by the pictures) that the protruding lines at the bottom of the box somehow "cut" into the tray, they are not. These are loose shells in a box, not a system. It's loud, it looks cheap and vulnerable. Maybe it's a bit picky, but I wish this product was better. Just make the tray a little bigger to fit more snugly and it's perfect. "Hooks" are too big to tighten and come off very easily. The material is too thin to be durable. The whole box is useless if it can't be kept closed. Please ArtBin. Take another look at this product and change it. He's so close to being awesome.
