Best Art Storage Cabinets in 2022

Last update: December 25, 2022

IRIS USA, Inc. DPC-24 24 Drawer Parts and Hardware Cabinet, Black Review:


I'm overjoyed with my buy. Worth every penny of the $35. First off, despite being made of some sort of plastic on the outside, it is really strong. I looked everywhere for storage solutions like this after doing a ton of research, but this is by far the best. It is far bigger than I anticipated (but I didnt even bother to look at the dimensions). I am happy with my purchase and would suggest it to anyone who needs a lot of little compartment storage.



Akro-Mils 10144 D 20-Inch by 16-Inch by 6-1/2-Inch Hardware and Craft Cabinet, Black Review:


Initial assessment: 7/2017I don't review EVERY item I buy on Amazon, but I was VERY delighted with this one and thought that some of the reviews were somewhat unfair, despite the fact that it has a very decent overall rating. I'll respond to a few of them and then add a few of my own at the end. The first thing to do is to ignore any review that criticizes it for having clumsy delivery staff; it's a product review, not a shipping critique. Don't believe any reviews that point out how easy it topples, second. It must be anchored, unless you're arranging a feather collection. That makes sense. Although they are mentioned in some reviews as being brittle, the bins are actually fairly flexible while yet being strong. According to several reviews, the drawer stops are subpar and "probably" won't keep the drawer in place if there is a significant amount of weight. Well, the drawer stop on one of my drawers, which contains almost 4 pounds of bolts, functions well.I started out by purchasing only one of them to see how I felt it would fare and whether it would be suitable for my use. I ordered a second one about three days after the first one since I was SO thrilled with it. I do like to draw attention to the unit in my photo on the right. It does have a SLIGHT sag, as you can see if you look closely; that unit has 45 pounds of gear (not including the weight of the product itself). I weighed it, so it's not an overblown figure or a guess. It is safe to conclude that I am beyond the design parameters for this item because the optional hanging bracket is rated for 40 pounds. All of the drawers still open and close easily despite the drooping; but, to prevent long-term fatigue, I will construct a straightforward shelf beneath them.The only issue I have with these is that I keep putting ALL of my small goods in them since they are TOO convenient, which means I now need a third one, lol.EDIT: 1/6/19Wow, I just learned that 100 individuals considered this review to be beneficial. Since it has been well over a year, I thought I would provide an update. Even in the chilly northern winters, neither of mine has broken; they are both still in good shape. These bins continue to make me extremely happy, and I always think of them when I need to organize little items. I did place a shelf under each of them, and this has stopped the sagging problem from occurring since I placed more weight in them than I should have. Therefore, I'm still VERY happy with them. I'm happy my review was useful.

3 Drawer Wood Pastel Storage Box 15-3/4 x 9-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches Review:


For organizing and storing my priceless colored pencils and pens that I use in my artwork, these storage drawers are ideal.These have a removable thin foam cushioning layer on the bottom to protect my artist pencils and pens. These are BEAUTIFULLY MADE and made well. Each drawer has a divider that can be removed to create five sections. The drawers move well.The ONLY CON is that my arthritic hands find it difficult to grasp the tiny wooden "pulls." I came up with the idea to install tiny crystal pulls by drilling two tiny holes in each drawer. Looks clear and simple to understand (see photo).However, I was unable to remove the original wooden pulls, so since they were in the way, I added a crystal pull on either side of the wooden one. A single crystal pull for each drawer would also work.Actually, utilizing two pulls makes pulling and pushing the drawers easier because a single center pull would occasionally cause me to push the drawer back at an awkward angle and require me to change my orientation. It wasn't a big deal, but I found it annoying.I purchased the crystal pulls from Amazon.com. Search for "Vtech 20mm Crystal Glass Cabinet Knobs" if you're curious. Because they are so little, they don't protrude past the drawer to obstruct the next drawer. I paid $9.42 for the 10 pack.



ArtBin Super Satchel Slim, Divided Compartments Review:


I already adore ArtBin, but this box is really helpful for organizing my handmade accessories! Because this case is only two inches deep, it can hold loose decorations without letting them sink to the bottom and become lost over time.There are numerous combinations possible with both stationary horizontal dividers and moving vertical dividers. The smallest compartment you can build is 2"x1.5" (I believe most of mine are set up as 2"x3"). The stationary dividers are spaced 2" apart, therefore the compartments will be 2"x?? with?? being increments of 1.5" (see images I added).At the front (handle side) of the case, there are three stationary compartments that are somewhat larger (about 3.25"x3.75" on the left and right, and approx. 3.25"x5.5" in the center front).These are amazing and really useful!(update added on 09/12/15 to include more photographs to accompany my response to a query on how to fit cross-stitch floss bobbins.)



ArtBin 6933AB Solutions Cake Decorating Storage Box Review:


Everything was as expected, as stated, and as displayed.This tip box is good and is fairly strong; I actually keep it separate in my drawer so I have more space in the case. It includes small dividers you can add to make compartments smaller.This case is exactly as shown in the grid-style listing photo; the right side's space comes with longer dividers to utilize there instead of stationary ones, which I used to accommodate my large russian deco tips. Only the stationary horizontal dividers are present on the left side. To create the size area you require, simply add the short dividers.
