A few extras

A few extras that might interest potential buyers: -- Drawers are made of strong, slightly flexible polypropylene plastic, unlike older models whose drawers were made of hard, brittle plastic that tends to crack. The drawers pull out easily and have a stop to prevent them from being pulled all the way out unintentionally, but are easy to remove when needed. There are several snap-on dividers on the back of the case. However, this 64-drawer cabinet only had eight small dividers that fit that drawer size and four other large ones that were useless. -- You can buy dividers separately (Akro-Mils 40716 Small Dividers, pack of 16), but they're prohibitively expensive: $9 on Amazon for 16, so basically the same as a cabinet for adding dividers. They seem to be found elsewhere for $4.49/$16. The slots in the drawers of the dividers are quite deep and have some spring force, so cutting your own dividers out of cardboard or thin acrylic would be plausible, if a bit awkward. if you want to adjust the conical shape of the drawer. -- There is no shelf between the rows of drawers in the cabinet. This opens the drawers as you slide them in, so there's nothing to prevent the contents from falling out when tilted or when transported roughly.-- The cabinet also comes in blue/grey (search 10764 blue)-- As others have said, the cabinet is pretty tall and thin so it can tip over if not attached to anything. Overall it works for what I want it for, but I wish it had delimiters and it would be more useful to me. If only it could be transported without the contents spilling out.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Almost never
