Anybody fancy one of these? Think of just how many brownie points it would be worth with SWMBO.

I get some crap about a cruise ship.

It looks like the link hasn't worked, but I suspect it might be this, which caught my eye on Facebook the other day as well:

www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 7000 products, including 4500 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints and much, much more!

When you search on the WorkBox - it suggests the price is $250, which seems rather cheap. But a bit more digging you find out the price is $1500 to $2000, which seems rather expensive.

I think I could get rather more storage from Ikea for $2000. OK, this has the funky fold up on itself option - but lets be honest once you have covered the table with stuff, piled boxes under the table, etc, you will never clear that stuff to allow you to close the doors!

To be fair, a cruise ship is a pretty good description of the ultimate in storage.

Not sure how you'd manage that.  I have no problem.

Then you probably don't have enough boxes. You must buy more boxes and lots of little metal men to fill them.  ;)

I have four four foot high stacks, and a permanent avalanche warning!

Currently two six-box stacks of 9L boxes, side-by-side on top of the tumble dryer and two 11L XL containing a board game each plus all their expansions lurking in the living room while I decide if they can be added on top.

This is what I use.  http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/onlineshop/rub/tTower10x4lDrawT.php

I put an internal divider in each drawer so that there are two levels in each drawer.  You can move the units around on the castors.  No problem at all. 

My 10mm collection that started life in the 1980s, currently approximately 33,600 figures.  I don't use them all at once, of course.

I use these myself.
