STORAGE CABINETS

[Yoda]

I just had a look on the ikea uk website. 
No sektion brand listed.  Bit of a shame as it would be a good solution for my fossil storage too

Maybe they have a different brand in the UK? Try a search for "kitchen cabinets". Good luck.

If you're like me you are always searching for that perfect storage solution for fossils. Antique "flat files" are expensive and generally have drawers that are too thin. Modern files such as those used for architectural drawings are too expensive and have a flap that keeps the pages flat. I've settled upon using kitchen cabinets. The drawers are 3" deep and extend fully, which is important if you have any hopes of seeing what's in the back 1/3 of the drawer. 

 

The brand is SEKTION and is sold by IKEA.

They come in many different colors and sizes. Putting them together is tedious but repetitive. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

Be sure to select the full extension drawers and the ones that are made to go behind cabinet doors. You don't utilize the doors but this insures that the drawers will have enough space between to allow you to pull them out without having to install pulls.

 

Below are mine. 

 

As classy as my sticky note labels looked, I felt that they could be improved upon. These are meant as label holders on the edge of store shelves.

Nice! I might actually want something from IKEA. Now, if I only had one within 2000 miles

Most of the IKEAs are still closed so it makes no difference now.
