Greyflood: I'm a toy collector, mostly action figures but also Legos and similar building kit toys. Most collector figures these days come with numerous accessories and accoutrements and finding storage space for them that is also organized can be tough.

This storage system is the perfect size for my needs. Having 4 separate containers let me organize my accessories into categories and types easily. The totes are sturdy and feel very solid when you snap them closed. There is very little room between the lid and the box when it is closed, so even placing it vertically in the container shelf doesn't knock the contents around much at all.

The totes come with plenty of dividers which allow you to customize the size of each section of the tote to your needs. I had far more such dividers than I needed but it's good to have spares.

My only complaint is that the outer orange storage box/shelf has very pointy corners. I accidentally kicked and ran my shin into it several times and it hurt like hell. So make sure it's out of foot traffic where you store it, or wrap the corners in cloth or something.

Basara549: The only reason I don't give this 5 stars is that the flavor of 3700-series boxes that ship with the box is the one with 42 divider slots - but only 20 dividers per 3700. Note that I prefer these boxes, but I hate having to ask/order Plano for enough to make proper use of them (currently trying to contact customer support to see if I can get another 100 or so dividers (enough to finish off my needs for the 10+ of that type I own)).

However, the rack can hold any of the standard depth 3700/3750 variants (including the thin 3701, but not the deep members of the 3700 family), and would be useful for use in a home/garage area for swapping out Stowaways from portable boxes (you're not going to take the same fishing tackle for all trips, or hoppy items to all trips). My personal use is for using it to swap cases with my gaming miniatures between the home rack and the 787 & 1374 portable rack systems (aka tackle boxes) I take to my game site and conventions. I just wish I could order two of these sans boxes for 3700s I already have loose!

Added benefits for this product: You get 4 3700-series boxes for cheaper than the current price of the 3700 4-packs (but this is true...

S. Fannin: I have 3 Plano toolboxes and about 18 or so Plano Stowaway boxes. I'm very pleased with them. I got one of these Stowaway wall cabinets as a sample before buying more and while it's pretty much the best solution for its price out there, it's not up to Plano's usual standards. It's complicated since I plan to buy a few more anyway, again because there aren't many of these out there for around $35, it's more like $200-350 for a big metal ones, which are nice but not quite right for the home hobbyist. Some of the listings for these mention some kind of pegboard. There wasn't one but it didn't make sense anyway to put a cabinet on a pegboard that was only the size of the cabinet.

Pro's:
1) Price--I couldn't find a solution like it for anything close. That's very important because I'm going to tell you some Cons but I'm buying more anyway.
2) Inside containers--they're Plano's regular sturdy Stowaway line. I've bought these for decades. Never had one break or for that matter misbehave in any way.
3) Wall-mounting and stackable. I'm hoping, actually, that next to each other they will help support each other.

Con's:
1) Not enough dividers. I called them and they...

Michael D. DadiegoMichael D. Dadiego: Let's just say I am not OCD, but pretty close. There is a place for everything, and everything has a place. I have everything from my tools, my frig, cupboard and yes....my sock drawer. I have MANY cases for just about everything...from tools to guns. I have a case just for all my MANY glues and one for all my tapes. It goes on...but trust me...I know my organization and I know storage. With that, if you are looking for quality, adjustable , versatile, portable, customizable small part storage...then you will love this unit. I currently have dozens of Plano storage units...from guns, jumper cables, first aid kits and more. Plano is a great choice (if the piece meets your needs). Regardless of some reviews I read indicating that the compartments were too small for some parts...well (no disrespect, but...)HELLO...it is what it is. Choose a bigger unit if you need more space. This particular design/configuration (regardless of what I use it for), is for organization of small parts. I ALWAYS organize by theme. I'll give you a couple of examples of `what' I used this particular unit for. One tray is my greatest hits collection of rubber, cork, felt and plastic feet/grips. From this,...
