Question what is your favorite Jetmax-type cube?

I am going to get a few while the 50% off coupons are out for M's...
I just can't decide which style to start with! I think I'll get a few 3-drawer to start, but there are so many to choose from.
Anyone have a favorite? the paper slots? the 4-drawers? The big open 2-drawer? I know everyone has different storage needs, I'm just curious.

drawers-i don't like open. they tend to get dusty. paper could fade from sunlight.
best bet take some time. think how you like to store your items. nothing worst than needed to rebuy. i have tons of wasted plastic bins,box trays-no lid they can't stack.

I have a few different kinds in my scraproom but I have to say the open paper slots are my favourite. Then again, I work better and use my stuff more if I can visibly see it rather than if it's tucked away out of sight

I have 13-14 pieces. I prefer the drawers, and have a combo of the 1, 3, and 4 drawer. I think my fav is the 3 drawer. There is an additional coupon for 15% off good only today from12pm to 6pm. It includes sale items.. I also have the the corner piece that has one shelf in middle, 2 of the cubes that are 1/2 the depth (open front) and the 'lazy susan' tpye container. I have bought these over time, always using coupons, and have liked these more then any of my other storage options. I just moved and am in the process of unpacking, I have the Expedit bookcase from Ikea (EXPEDIT Bookcase - birch effect - IKEA) and think in my new room I will lay it on its side and place my Jetmax cubes on top. Currently they are stacked on a table and I actually had to add 2 legs in the middle of the table for support (I love Ikea, lol). I just need to move the shelf into the room and make sure they will fit on top. Yes, I could measure, but then I would have to remember to do that, and of course DH has to move it in there anyway...hmmm, if this works I could get more cubes....

I have several but my favorite is the 3 drawer. Then I got the divider inserts and each drawer now has up to 9 little boxes. Very versatile.

I bought a new style cube the other day. It is a 2 drawer cube and it has dividers that divide the drawer horizontally into I think 5 or 6 sections. They are great for organizing embellishments,bling and stickers.

I have about 35 of them and my fav's are the 2 and 3 drawer cubes. The 2 drawer cubes come with handy dividers, and it's easy enough to make dividers for the other one if you want. I have a lot of the 4 drawer cubes and I find them awkward and are also the least used. The open shelf cubes are handy,but I wish they had one more shelf in them to make them more useful.

Hi - I have about 14 of them. I have 2 stacked under each corner of my large working surface. The ones farther away from where I work, I bought the 4 slot ones which hold magazines/idea books that I can't part with. On the other wall I have them stacked 2 high and really like the 2 drawer and three drawer - the one with the open compartment and the drawer has divider slots which you can put into the 3 drawer and organize embellishments, sewing supplies, etc. Then on top of these 3 towers of 2 stacked cubes I put a narrow work table on top which holds my sewing machine and cricut. It works for me! Also the 4 mini drawer Jetmax is just the right size for organizing 4X6 photos which I haven't done yet but will eventually get it done! LOL

I only have 4 because I had drawer units already. I like the two cube (basket style) with the three paper sections. I have some paper packs that I put in there but I like to keep things dust free as well. I had given away my triple drawer because I had to hold onto the box to pull out the drawer. I didn't like if it got stuck from humidity or I pulled a little to hard and it fell to the floor.
Either way, the soft basket fits my A2 cards perfectly with an index between them.
