The Akro-Mils 10144 provides a dependable foundation for managing small household items, from craft beads to building bricks. The frame is constructed from high-impact polystyrene, which offers the necessary rigidity for wall mounting. Specifications show the unit stands 16 inches high and 20 inches wide, creating a substantial storage footprint. While the frame is designed for strength, practical use indicates that using washers during wall installation helps distribute pressure and prevents the plastic from cracking at the attachment points.
The 44 drawers are made from clarified polypropylene, a material chosen for its ability to flex under pressure rather than shattering. This flexibility is a helpful safety feature in busy homes where a drawer might be dropped. However, the clear plastic can attract dust due to static, so occasional wiping may be needed to maintain visibility. While the unit features 44 separate drawers, it does not include internal dividers; those looking to create even smaller compartments within each drawer will need to source those separately.
The drawers feature a rear-stop tab, which helps prevent them from falling out completely when opened quickly by children or busy parents.
- Material Resilience: The drawer plastic is designed to retain its shape and resist yellowing over time.
- Vertical Stacking: Molded feet on the bottom are designed to sit securely in recesses on the top of additional units.
- Visibility: The clarified material allows for easy identification of contents without needing to open every compartment.
If you find that 44 drawers are more than your current project requires, the IRIS USA 24-drawer cabinet offers a more compact alternative for smaller collections.
