hmm. conundrum indeed. I vote no though, price way too high, regardless.

I would really hesitate to use it for scrapbooking, where the materials really need to be crisp, fresh and related to the current project. For scrapbooking, I think a section with shallow open shelving for various papers would be better. Paper gets damaged easily when it is taken out of a drawer while a selection is being made.

I agree with other poster that it could become a craft materials graveyard, and would need to be decluttered often. When I first saw the illustration above, without anything beside it to indicate size, I thought it was one of those little carpentry nail type organizers. It still looks a lot like that to me. I think I’d feel like a Barbie doll standing in front of it.

As a seamstress I cannot tell you how many tiny tools to turn loops, set grommets, scissors, buttons, fabric…etc that I have. And storing them can be a big ugly hassle. I think this would be right up my alley (the cost, not so much).

2. “any truly creative spirit would go nuts”? really, there is only one kind of creativity? are you sure? personally, i need to see all my stuff to have it it inspire me and the clear boxes mean i can see it without having it lay out getting dusty and dirty or lost.

3. very expensive, yes. but so are all crappy furniture and storage boxes these days.

Hmmm, let me reiterate. I sew. I handmade nearly all the gifts I gave this Christmas and regularly undertake jobs like re-covering chairs, decorating my house and baking. I consider both sewing and baking to be crafts which I practice. I could, in the language of crafters, be a crafter. But I don’t scrapbook and I think this is merely creating a space to hide an obsession and not addressing the underlying habit which causes the accumulation of unused bits of stuff. So, by that rationale, I’m not a crafter? Rubbish.

You don’t need all the crap available at any moment. You need what you need for the project (e.g. ingredients for baking, materials for sewing) plus a few expensive tools (a mixer for baking, a sewing machine for sewing). If you’re undertaking a big project, you should be planning it, drawing up a shopping list and getting all the things you know you will want. I could buy all kinds of random bits and bobs for baking, and every time I visit the kitchen store I spend a happy few minutes browsing the oddments. But I don’t buy them “because I might need them one day”. If you really do have so much “craft” clutter that this wardrobe looks like a good idea, you should look at why you have so much craft clutter to start with!

Unfortunately, I think I would have enough craft supplies to fill two if I actually separated items correctly in the tubs. I would not use the small table but it would be great storage so that my large crafting table could be clear of all but that day’s project.

If you look at that and say “Where have you been all my life?” then you are a crafter and know exactly how much you need/want this item or something similar, ugly doors or not.
