3 Drawer Acrylic Storage from The Container Store - REVIEW

I purchased these 3 drawer units last year to accommodate my makeup with a higher profile.
I elected to buy the model with the cut out area for finger pulling over the model with the knob on the drawer. I heard from a few of my makeup buddies that the "knobbed" model cracked and the knob broke off after a brief time.
I also wanted a more uniform look for my storage.
The finger cut out resembles that of my acrylic muji drawers.

I purchased the units for $14.99 US each from The Container Store. I paid $8.50 for shipping.

I find them to be relatively flimsy in comparison to the sturdy muji drawers.
However, it was essential that I get them to store my taller items, such as eos lip balms and loose setting powders.
They do stack, however they are not secure. I would recommend slipping a bit of that gummy stuff you find on the back of gift cards between the units to prevent accidents.

I would purchase these items again despite the cheaper quality as compared to my muji drawers. I like the look of uniformity.


Do you own anything like this?
Do you have items with higher profiles that will not fit in your muji drawers?

Updated Mujis (Makeup Storage) Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek at my current set up.

I am hoping that 4 - 5 drawers
and 2 - 2 drawers will be enough
to contain my collection.  One of the
two drawers has a hinged lid.
I opted to have that as I did not want
to have my foundations laying flat.
I am working to use what I have
and not acquire much else.
I do have separate storage for most of
my larger eyeshadow palettes.



I purchased the units over several months from http://www.muji.us/store/storage/acrylic-cases.html .
I am thrilled with the quality of the craftsmanship.
The sleek simple design compliments any decor.
Stay tuned for a breakdown of the drawers soon.
Have you purchased any of these types of systems? What is your setup like?

Muji Acrylic Drawers

After months of having been out of stock, I was finally able to get my hands on a few of these drawers.


I am still in the process of converting my collection over to this system.

The five drawer stack is available for $27.50

The two drawer stack is available for $25.25





I am still going to buy a two drawer with lid, as my Make Up For Ever HD Foundation will not fit in the drawer. The drawer just wouldn't close.

The packaging was excellent.
The quality of the acrylic is very fine. It is sturdy and of good construction.  All of the units arrived in perfect condition. The shipping time was within one week of my having placed the order. I am looking forward to purchasing additional units. If you are interested in purchasing the units, here is the the link
