I got once a much smaller version of the chest and loved it. If you have a small project, you will always have the perfect color to match and at the least, you will know which color to order if you are buying on-line and need more than you have. I hate when I buy on-line that you can not see the real color. By having those you have the perfect reference chart, and you can start working while it arrives. Those spools look small but can hold quite a bit.
