Who has a craft room with sets of very shallow white drawers? Can you let me know where you bought them please? Eric has decided my room needs another makeover
so I thought I might as well try to get some of these. I've looked in my Ikea catalogue and I can't find the ones I mean. I'm sure that someone
else had them in silver. Thank you.
 Hazel

I think Jacqui has some grey shallow metal, office type drawers which take A4 sheets.
I have some white 12" x 12" polypropylene drawer I got from Staples. Eight drawers in a stack. Each drawer approx 3" deep. Sheila W. |

I feel sure Ultimatedee has some which I think did come from Ikea (think she is away with TT at present). There's someone else too, maybe they'll read
your post.

I bought a set of 6 shallow drawers in Chinese red from IKEA last week.
The cabinet is metal on castors. Was about £20 off the top of my head - OH paid! Any help? They also had white and silver I think. Should be in the new catalogue. Something like this?

Thanks for your replies - the drawers I mean were much more shallow than those on page 233. I'm trying to remember the photos of the craft rooms that I saw
and I think they were Dawn's - there seemed to be about ten or twelve drawers in a floor standing stack and they went under the workbench. We're going
to Ikea tomorrow but I can pop into Staples if they haven't got the exact ones that I want. The ones you have, Sheila, might be OK for me.

Ulitimatedee showed a picture of them when she got her craft room done but she had about 6 or 7 of them all under the work
surface they are a good size and take A4 papers they are about 3 to 4" deep drawers and there are 6 of them.

"Furniture at work" has wonderful ones, 5, 10 and 15 drawers. I have four of the 15 drawer ones (A4)
Jacqui has them as well. They are metal. I think they are £69 for the 15 drawer ones, plus VAT, June |

Hi Hazel, have a look in my craft room piccies. The grey metal ones were from Furniture to go, and were about £60 each set. The shallower ones on top were from
Viking direct, but that was some time ago when they were on offer. (buy two, get a third one free) If you need any more info, send me a message.

mine are in my photobucket, there's pictures of my craft room in there, the link is in my profile if you'd like to have a
looksee. June is right FURNITURE TO GO online, but she has the price wrong, they're more expensive than that. I wouldn't buy any other because these
are guaranteed for life, and although with P&P they are expensive, I would have saved a whole lot of money buying both wooden and plastic
sets , where the latter collapsed and I had to reinforce all the wooden ones. These are brilliant, and I would rcommend them to anyone. I have grey and cream,
if you buy the coloured sets --red etc, they're more expensive.
I also bought another set from Staples, (cheaper because they went in my boot!) HTH, luv Jacqui xx |

Also worth a look at office supply people in the yellow pages, lots do secondhand.I have just got metal storage with drawers 30 in total for £30 as new and
also each drawer has a divider if needed.Takes A4 each side giving in reality 60 drawers.Was surprised at how reasonable they were and the good condition.
Spent a fortune on plastic storage only for it all to collapse.

oooh! Rosemary, what a good buy! With mine like QVC says, a "considered purchase", but in the long run, well worth the money. I
did bid for some the same on ebay, and they went for more than the shop sold them for!! I never thought to look in Yellow Pages, well done you!! luv Jacqui

I have the Ikea ones too......same as Ultimatedee.
They are from the kids section of Ikea and the wooden unit takes either 6 of the shallow drawers or two of the very deep ones or 3 of the medium etc. etc. The shallow drawers hold all my A4 card, printable paper, stamps, inks, embossing powders; the list is endless. Of course you can mix the deep and shallow in one unit and they are very sturdy and above all cheap. Hope this helps, Love, JanMariex |

I bought a brilliant 30 drawer bisley unit a few weeks ago from a local second hand shop. It is quite tall but, as it will fit it such a lot of papers
(especially Kanban ones), I thought I would give it a try. It is sat in my sun room together with a lot of other drawers and cabinets for when I get my new
craft room.
Hope you get sorted soon Hazel. Nina x |

We've been to Ikea today and I bought one set of silver drawers. I wanted white but they won't be in for another two weeks. We also bought a new white
computer workstation. I'm nearly getting squeezed out of the door with the amount of stuff in my room so I'm going to rearrange it and decide whether I
need more sets of drawers. If I do I can either wait for the white or go back for more silver. I only got rid of my last workstation a matter of weeks ago
because Eric made me a new bench. Unfortunately I've ended up with an arm strain because I was reaching too far for the keyboard and mouse so I needed a
custom made one. I keep having a change around because I think something else will work better. Hopefully this will be the last time. Thanks for all your help.
Hazel

I'm like that Hazel, as soon as I have moved the room around and used it like that for a while I think there may be a more efficient way. Good job we have
understanding hubbies, isn't it? lol
