Iuse a plastic box recommended by a young man in the fishing department at Wal Mart. He told me that his grandmother, who is a quilter, uses that box. It has several compartments but does not lift like the tackle box. They are slim enough to fit into my sewing machine cabinet drawers. I bought three to stack and they are in constant use--and for under $5 each. The tackle box looks great. froggyintexas
