Storage systems

I have a product recommendation that I want to share. As my collection started to grow and I outgrew my plastic desktop shelves, I looked into drawer units. Everyone raved about the IKEA storage mainly the Helmer’s but I eyed the Alex too. I went with the Helmer’s. They were OK but the metal was so flimsy. They arrived with pieces bent or damaged in shipment and did not go together well and were just generally rickety. Then I found the Olixis 7 drawer unit and really wish I had found this first! The drawers are wider and they have safety stoppers, but you can easily pull the drawer all the way out by lifting it off the track. The drawers hold so much more than the Helmer! They are sold through Amazon and also Temu and pricing ranges between $55-$70. Some brilliant laquerista posted a tutorial for how to make your own drawer inserts and it is very easy to follow so that saved me a few dollars as well. Sorry for the long post but I hope this post helps those who are trying to figure out an affordable storage solution that works for them. I will link the tutorial for inserts and the Amazon listing in the comments.
