Akro Mils 10124 Plastic Hardware 6 5 Inch Reviews Summary

Storage Capacity and Organization

Pros:

• "Lots of space in the drawers."
• "Nice variation of drawer size. Definitely fits more than you would expect (& larger items)."
• "Each drawer has a lip that catches it."
• "Bought this to organize my LARGE supply of various screws and stand offs. This makes it much easier to find the screws I need."
• "26 drawer (6 large, 20 small)... ideal for small group."
• "This is perfect for my boys legos to stay organized! Drawers are just the right size and there’s plenty of them."
• "Very good quality cabinet... Trays are a reasonable size and the included dividers are a good option."
• "I'm very happy with this drawer. Containers are made of a sturdy plastic and there are plenty of them."

Cons:

• "Difficult to see clearly what is in the bins without pulling open the drawers."
• "Disappointed... BEWARE though, it only comes with four dividers."
• "This order originally arrived with the top row (eight drawers) missing."
• "The product page lists the following DRAWER DIMENSIONS... but the actual usable drawer space is only 4-3/16" wide x 5-1/8" deep x 2" tall."
• "I was hoping it would be... The drawers catch to keep them from falling out on their own, but are still easy to remove."
• "The first one I order, was used. It arrived with a knife cut in the plastic along one end."
• "The product would be fine however, the middle two bottom drawers do not have a support underneath them so they fall down to the bottom of the box."
• "Drawers were not rigid, very flexible, not desirable in a part cabinet."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "It’s high quality and very sturdy."
• "It's fully plastic, so very lightweight, which is great for moving it about."
• "These seam decent, I've had much worse quality."
• "The bins arrived intact, but the fit and finish of the bins was quite bad."
• "Nice and built well for plastic."
• "The plastic drawers have rough mold seepage around the edges so they do not open and close easily."
• "I've always liked Akro Mils because I have never had an issue with quality and strength."
• "My son has thousands of Lego pieces and it’s been difficult to find a good sorting solution. He bought this to sort the smaller pieces and it works great!"

Cons:

• "The drawers slide easily... perhaps too easily. The slightest tilt forward will result drawers to slide out."
• "If you plan to use this for heavier items or regular use then don't bother."
• "The one thing that I expected is that the trays (little plastic drawers) had some kind of a feature that keeps the trays from just sliding out."
• "I have to go through EVERY SINGLE DRAWER and file them all down - otherwise, they DON'T SLIDE IN AND OUT!"
• "The drawers are not stable as you pull them in and out, they wobble and move sideways."
• "The edges of each of the 44 containers is rough and sharp edged. None of the containers slides in or out smoothly."
• "The frame, with very little additional parts weight, distorts or bows across the top frame when being hung on a wall."
• "I initially opened it and saw scratches on the side. Once I saw the entire thing it looked used."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "This item is not rugged or special, just reasonably thought-out."
• "These storage drawers we more expensive than others, but the quality is well worth it."
• "The plastic used on my other drawers became very brittle and solvent like brake or carb cleaner would destroy them. These will stand up to the punishment."
• "The quality is not what I would expect at this price point. It's just good enough to not go through the hassle or returning it."
• "Purchase this to replace two smaller cabinets. This one is much larger and sturdier."
• "Great quality. Good design, good execution. Sturdy and steady."
• "For general usage, this product is OK. For heavy usage, product is not very well constructed."
• "Good quality, good price. Not sure id use this for anything heavy but for my application of storing hooks and beads for fly tying it works perfectly."

Cons:

• "Shopping for toolboxes around the same time, it just astounds me how much a plastic grid costs in our takeout container world."
• "Akro-Mils once made excellent quality products, is seems that's not true any longer."
• "I would have to buy 4 packs to fill out all of the drawers. The chances of me paying $44.00 for the unit and another $36.00 for the dividers is...ZERO!!"
• "The only thing that would have been nice is for there to be a insert for a label or something similar."
• "If you plan to use this for heavier items or regular use then don't bother.. Go buy the ones that are 5X this price cause this one won't hold up."
• "Half the drawers don't even open and plastic is extruded EVERYWHERE. The worse product I have ever seen, this includes cheap 99 cents store china crap."
• "It’s wasn’t sheer/transparent you can’t see through the drawers like in the photos."
• "I was excited to purchase this to create a “teacher toolkit”, however it arrived busted up and I had to snap it back into place."
