i just came back from j's and looked at a storage unit there. you might have seen it. it's a column of drawers, some about 3" deep and some about 1.5" deep. it's framed in black and made of plastic. when i asked the price, the young man separated it into three sections, three very thin drawers and four thick drawers each and told me each section was - are you ready? - $80.00.
since i was looking at the whole column as a good storage unit, it would cost $240.00 for plastic. one of the handles was already broken off and it was tilting. all this for $240.00. that's why people shop ikea. at least you're getting something that approximates wood for that price.
