Title: The ultimate in storage!

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

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:

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.

Their boxes stack, who needs a tower? :)

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.  ;)

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.

Got mine from Poundland though. The slim are 20mm deep and the thick are 40mm deep. Get 25 bases 60mm x 40mm in each,lined with ferro sheet ( £1.40 eBay) . The bases themselves have magnetic tape
stuck to the bottom (£1 per Metre,eBay)
