Whatever you do, NEVER tip it forward!
The organizer looked decent when I unboxed it. But when I lifted it, I discovered the first problem when I tipped it forward ever so slightly. About a dozen of the drawers slid out of the organizer and fell on the floor.
The top of each shelf section does have a small lip that overlaps with the shelf by about 2mm, or 1/16th of an inch. That might be enough if the drawers were properly designed, but they are not. Each drawer expands upward slightly - including in the back - and the bottom of each drawer is rounded. As a result, when you pull a drawer to it's full length (or when gravity does so for you), the back of the drawer begins to slide down and out of the case. So, with a minimal amount of force or upwards tilt, the entire drawer will come out of the cabinet. This isn't helped at all by the flimsy plastic of the drawers.
Additionally, the drawers are not quite wide enough for each section; they are more than 1mm too thin, which allows for a lot of sideways movement, and the drawers will open at a very considerable angle. Finally, the drawers have ridges on the UNDERSIDE of the front pull tab - ridges are supposed to make them a bit easier to pull out. But when they are on the underside, rather than the top, you can't actually fit a finger into that underside space unless you have very small fingers - and even that is negated by the curvature of the tab, as the curvature allows you to pull straight out. Those ridges are supposed to be on the top, NOT the bottom. When such ridges are in the proper place, you can pull a drawer out using only a finger (usually the thumb) on the top of the tab. This may sound like an unimportant detail, but when implemented properly it is very useful when your hands are full. So, the maker thought enough to include those ridges, but they put them in an utterly useless spot. They spent money to include this feature, yet made it utterly useless.
I may seem pedantic, but these are things that any competent designer would either never encounter, or would fix in an early prototype stage. The larger cabinet (all the black plastic) isn't bad, aside from being a bit thinner and lighter than I'd prefer, but the drawers are completely the wrong shape.
Also, the drawers have notches on the inside to hold dividers - and as far as I can tell those dividers are not included.
It is very obvious that these drawers were never intended for this case. Or, they were designed by an utter idiot.
