OT: I want a storage thingy with lots of clear smallish drawers to store crayons, sellotape etc

[jgkgolf]

As it says really I want something to store all those bits and bobs which clutter up the drawers in our kitchen. Ideally it would have 10 or 20 clear drawers so I could see what's in each one without having to search. The compartments would have to be reasonably large to hold 30-40 crayons, a few rolls of tape etc. Ideally would like to be able to remove the drawer to take crayons to table etc. It doesn't have to be fancy just functional as I'll probably screw it to the wall in the understairs cupboard. Any suggestions ?

The "Really Useful Box" company does some wall-mountable racks of their (useful) boxes.

That is exactly what I wanted but even prettier and more stylish than I could ever have dreamed of. Thank you very much...(gently wipes a tear from eye).

Sounds like you might have a daughter?

If you can get to Staples that is marginally cheaper before P&P, much cheaper if that is included - and possibly more convenient as well:

I've got 6year old version of the species. If the OP daughter has more than 30 crayons and requires more than 1 roll of sticky tape. he is wasting his time. Better off hiring a maid to do nothing else but pack away crayons, 'activity' items, sticky tapes, plasticene crap, beads, fluff balls, etc etc. You might have to pay overtime to peel off the scraps of sticky tape from the coffee table.
