Great but needs work
I love these drawers for organizing art pencils. The only issue I have with them is, as other reviewers mentioned, the drawers pull each other out so they all come out when youre just trying to open one. I found the remedy to this was to make a jig out of popsicle sticks to shim up around the drawer pull to give a flat surface before running it through a table saw to shave off that little bit of excess on the top of the drawer faces. It worked great and I found that most sets I purchased only needed this done on the very bottom drawer. I have 8 sets of these and they all work great now. I also still have all of my fingers.
I like they way these look in my workspace and they make everything really easy to find. The dividers were easy to pull out for a customized drawer - once out theyre also very easy to put back in if you change your mind. The Last two photos show the drawers shimmed up with popsicle sticks ready to be run through the saw and the first four photos show the drawers fitting all kinds of various things. With the dividers removed, i find I can even put the whole derwent pencil tin in there - yet the drawers are shallow enough that theres no wasted space. Im very happy with these guys!
