Hardware Storage

I saw something similar to this & really liked it – thinking about making something similar. The thing I’ve always wondered about is how much weight the plastic containers will hold before they start to flex & fall out. Have you had any issues with that?

Awesome! what Walmart containers exactly? Link me! haha Did you put a back on this or do you use the wall for the backing?

Nice idea, I still have the peanut butter jars nailed to the ceiling.

jerkylips; So far I have had no problems with the containers flexing and falling out. You have to be sure that they fit in the slots, side to side fairly snugly. If you notice in the photos, there is one container that I pulled out partially. It is quite full with drawer hardware and weighs about 2 1/2 lbs. You could use heavier duty containers if it was a concern.
zindel; Sorry no link for these, use any type you choose. Yes I used 1/4” hardboard on the back.

I made one of these, I used MDF in the dadoes instead of supporting the trays by their lids. I just love using Dollar Store plastic containers for storage projects! The color coding is a neat idea too!
