Commonly referred to as a "Teacher Toolbox," this 24-drawer organizer is designed to handle the frequent access required in a classroom or home office. The frame is built from injection-molded polystyrene, providing a high strength-to-weight ratio that makes it easy to move when empty. The 24 drawers are made from polypropylene, a material known for its fatigue resistance, ensuring the drawer tabs can handle being opened and closed many times a day without snapping.
The drawers are translucent, allowing you to see the shapes of the items inside while maintaining a uniform look. Because these drawers are designed for lightweight hobby and classroom supplies, very heavy metal hardware like large bolts may cause the plastic to flex slightly. If the unit is used for heavier items, placing them in the bottom rows helps maintain the structural balance of the frame. It is also important to note that these drawers move freely; pulling them out with too much force may cause them to leave the track, as they do not have a built-in stop mechanism.
The polypropylene material is resistant to most craft solvents, making it a safe choice for storing art supplies or small cleaning tools.
- Space Efficiency: Provides two dozen separate compartments in a relatively small desktop footprint.
- Nesting Grooves: The recessed top allows for stable stacking if you decide to add more units later.
- Smooth Edges: The mold quality results in clean edges on the drawers, reducing the risk of snags.
If your storage needs expand beyond these 24 compartments, the Akro-Mils 44-drawer cabinet provides nearly double the organization capacity.
