Display Case - drawer, organizer
I had reservations about ordering this organizer since there's really nothing in the description giving dimensions. For those of you on the fence, it's about 17 1/2 inches tall x 5 1/2 inches wide x slightly less than 5 inches deep. The drawers themselves are deep enough to comfortably store a MAC pigment pot, which is about 1 1/2 inches tall. My only complaint about the size is that the drawers are **almost** big enough to hold 9 MAC pigment pots in a neat square, but you can only get 6 in because they're just not big enough. I can fit 6 pigment pots in loosely. The drawers could have been better designed to take advantage of lost space on the sides. The tower has slots spaced about every 1/2 inch for drawers, which in turn makes the drawers much smaller than they had to be. If you see one in person this would make more sense; I wish I knew how to clarify that.
Anyhow, this is heavy enough to stay in place without being too heavy, plus it has rubber feet on the bottom to help keep it stable on a counter or desktop. I bought it to store makeup, but this would also be excellent for hobbies, crafts, office supplies, or any small items. It's nice to be able to see what's in the drawer without having to pull it out & dig. Most acrylic organizers I've found seem to be designed to use horizontally, lying flat on a counter/desktop, taking up valuable space. Because this is vertical, it takes only a very small amount of counter space, and you can store 3-4 times as much stuff. The drawers slide in & out easily, coming completely out with no trouble if you need to get at something in the back.
The price seems like a lot for some plastic drawers, but this is the best price on Amazon for this item, and I can't find these anywhere in stores. The seller is relatively close to me, so I got mine in only a couple of days, however your mileage may vary depending on your location. It was well-packed and I don't feel like I was ripped off for shipping. Overall, if you have a lot of small items lying around that you need to access regularly, but you don't have a lot of space, you'll find that this tower is fantastic, and you'll probably end up buying more than one.

I bought this to give me some relief from my overfilled cosmetic drawers. It's very sturdy and looks nice sitting on my vanity. I was able to use it to easily organize my lipsticks, eye shadows and small implements. Longer items, such as mascara, eyeliner, and lip glosses did not fit in the drawers. Larger eyeshadows and blushes also didn't fit, or took up an entire drawer on thier own. If you are using this product for small items, you'll be quite happy with it, but you will need to make another plan for any longer items.
I bought this Organizer from the Container Store several months ago and I have really enjoyed using it. It is sturdy, the drawers slide smoothly, and it has a small footprint for so much storage. I use it to store individual pieces of jewelry and it keeps long necklaces from becoming entangled in other pieces. The drawers are deep enough to hold a lot of different items. I have just ordered several more, but I found a less expensive price from [...] and there are several coupons on the web which also lower the price. I paid about $[...] each which included shipping. This organizer is very useful and attractive and I would certainly recommend it.
I've been looking everywhere for a good makeup storage tower similar to this one. I like that it is clear and doesn't make my bathroom counter appear cluttered. However, I do wish the drawers were a little wider. I'm able to fit most of my most used make-up in the drawers, but I thought it was more spacious for the price. I am pleased with the purchase, but only because I really couldn't find anything better.
I am using this box to organize my make-up on my limited bathroom counterspace. It is very sturdy quality and I love being able to see the stuff inside. This has already improved my getting ready in the morning time and temper. :-) Recommend it for whatever you need to organize!
This organizer is great...but like other reviews, the drawers need to be wider and a bit deeper. I'm an esthetician/makeup artist and I have a lot of makeup. I was hoping encase all my tools, including brushes in this organizer. I really should have read the measurements in more detail. Each drawer only fits about 4 single MAC eyeshadows...that's how big the drawers are. But overall, I like the look and the organization of some of my makeup.
I purchased this item to organize my makeup, it does look nice in my bathroom but the drawers are just too small. I can only fit small items and hardly anything fits in them. If you only want to fit small things in the drawers then it will be a good buy, but if your like me wanting it to organize your makeup then get a bigger one.
I placed this on my bathroom counter to hold cosmetics, creams, toiletries, and so on because I wanted them within easy reach but do not want them sitting out exposed to germs and water sloshing around the sink. It arrived in good condition, except for some black marks on one side that do not come off--not worth sending back though because no one else is going to notice. It does not take up much space horizontally, so works well on a smaller counter. It is tall so it actually holds quite a lot. Because it is clear, it does not look bulky sitting on the counter.
I am satisfied with the item for the money. - Organizers - Makeup - Drawer - Organizer'
