Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I use the clear boxes for everything I can. I just spent a couple of days reorganizing all my scraps in color order in the clear boxes....reds/pinks/oragnes/yellows in one box, blues/greens/purples in another and etc. Certainly makes the searches a lot easier and quicker.
Those who are piecemakers will sew seeds.
Hugs,

I have one of these! I bought mine at Sam's several years ago for $20 just because I thought they were cute. Bought two of them, actually! It's okaaaay ... that's the best I can say. I use mine for stuff that doesn't have to be seen or used daily. The drawers get off track very easily and are rather aggravating. I'm glad I only paid $20 each for mine. I don't think it's worth the $35 price, and for sure would never pay the ridiculous "regular" price. Hope this info helps.
I agree wit Kerry K. I bought one of these (at Costco $18) for stained glass supplies...and have the same problem. The drawers constantly come off the track. Very disappointed. I've seen them at thrift stores probably for the same reason.
I really like the Iris brand scrapbook boxes for my scraps and projects. I watch for sales at Michael's and Hobby Lobby. The clear boxes make it easy to manage the contents.

I have one. We (my DD and I) just set it up. My DD wants to use the drawers for project storage. the drawers come out easily to take where we need for the project.
I thought that it could hold and organize my scraps well. It rolls where I need it. I paid a little less than that. But I thought that the flexibility of the cart was worth it.
To make lots of quilts, is to have lots of scraps, and I do, and I do.

I would choose something with clear drawers. Joanne's has a nice three drawer unit. It's a good deal with a coupon. I have two of them for scrappy organization.
I have one I use for scrapbooking stuff. My drawers never have come off track, but do pull out easily to see what is in them. I'm considering getting 2 for my classroom actually. I really like mine.
My daughter has them for her classroom. She has been using them for 6 years - each student has their own drawer and others are used for items turned in, extra lined paper, etc. It has held up so far.
i own one and that is more that enough. lol i have my rubber stamps in them but it does not do a very good job at all.
if i dont use them often the the dust collects on the stamp and i have to wash tehm before i use them. the drawers do come off of the track all of the time. i have a 6 draw plastic one all white with wheels that i got from walmart. i like that one much better. the drawers close tight and keep the dust out. i keep all of my emb. thread in the top three drawers and cutter, ruler small ones and clips in the bottom three drawers. i have three of them and i really like them. they have lasted me many years already and no a sign of wear yet. i like the fact that the drawers close tight the best. blessings ogama
I have a double wide one that has these shallow drawers on one side and deeper drawers on the other. I use mine as a project organizer. I like it enough that I've thought of getting another one. The drawers do come off the glides easily, but I like how easy it is to take the whole drawer out to sort through. I keep all the fabrics for a project in the drawers.
I read somewhere that if you take one side of the black rubber things out when putting it together that it makes the drawers fit more snuggly and don't fall out anymore. I am hoping that is correct. I foun them at SAMs that are all brown(more my style) for $30 so DH is going to pick it up for me today! So much better than waiting til next week lol
