There are no dividers in the room.
There are no dividers on hand.
That is not the case. This is a nice cabinet, but it does not include dividers and does not have divider slots. That being said, I will purchase this cabinet again if I need more.
They have a translucent quality to them. It's a little overcast. Mine are in front of a window, and the backlighting helps me see what's in the drawers during the day. In a darkened room, it may be more difficult to tell.

Drawers that are supported. I bought this model from Iris because I needed 15 1/2" in height and couldn't accept 1/2" more in other models. br>br>The wobbly drawers were the first thing that struck me. Each drawer is only supported by a 3 1/8" long plastic ledge, despite the fact that they are 6 1/2" long. It's obvious that this isn't designed to withstand a lot of pressure. I wouldn't use screws, nails, or any other type of hardware in it. It should still work for me because I intend to store mostly electronic components in it. br>br>The second thing I noticed is that the backs of the drawers are all rounded off. As a result, longer items that fit down the center of the drawers may not fit along the sides. br>br>For a visual representation, see the image below. br>br>I was only looking at parts cabinets made in the United States. If you want to compete with the Chinese, IRIS, you'll need to do better than this.
This unit is made of plastic and has 64 easy-to-use compartments. Sliding drawers (too simple; they frequently fall out, and there are no drawer stops). It doesn't have a back and has a small hole in each corner for hanging. There aren't any partitions in this room. It received three stars because it is on par with, if not better than, anything I found at Lowes, Home Depot, or ACE Hardware. I purchased it for my 20-year-old daughter. 60 years old There was no more room in the drawer unit. The old unit had a very sturdy metal frame with a metal back and good hanging slots, as well as stops on the plastic drawers and 120 dividers and sticky labels. So, while this unit is as good as anything in the stores, it's a sad joke compared to what I could buy 20 years ago, and it only gets 2 or 3 stars.
There is no such thing as a back. br>br> This does not appear to be obvious from reading the description or looking at the photos. This cabinet is shown against a wall in the photos. If the cabinet isn't against anything, however, the drawers can slide out the back, and when they're pushed back in, they'll most likely be a different depth. No back should have been mentioned in the description, in my opinion. When I opened the box and took the item out, I discovered this. The drawers were eventually stowed away in a box. br>br>I solved the problem of no back by taping some white foam board to the back of the chair. This made a nice back, but because the foam board is white, it "lights" up the drawers when the doors are open by reflecting light. The foam board was purchased at a Dollar Store, and the tape was already on hand. I'll make an attempt to upload photos. Feel people receive this item with the intention of mounting it to a wall, only to find out that the mounting holes are not slotted. Round holes are clearly visible in the image, but they are easy to overlook. Mounting this to a wall would be difficult because the hole placement would have to be precise in order for the cabinet to be level. It is durable. br>br> Put as many bolts and nuts as you can into it. It's difficult to lift after it's been filled. As a result, when fully loaded, it performs admirably. br>br>First, I wrote the contents of the drawer on a label and stuck it to the drawer. The drawers, however, can be labeled with a sharpie because they are polypropylene. If you later decide to change the contents, the writing will be easily removed. The drawers are translucent. br>br> As a result, peering through the front of the drawer to see what's inside is nearly impossible. br>br>I would have given this item four stars if it had come with a back, but I was disappointed. This appears to be something that should have been stated in the description.
This was ideal and exactly what I was looking for in order to create a teacher toolbox.
I buy a lot of buttons in bulk (in the hundreds), so I was relieved to discover that these drawers can hold more than 200 of my smaller buttons. I haven't mounted it on the wall yet due to a lack of wall space, but I intend to do so eventually.
UPDATED: 9/25/2020br>After trying to contact the company for over a month, they send me a single line that says "we apologize, but you should contact the company where you made the purchase. " The compartments work well for what we were looking for, storage containers for various legos in order to sort them out for future builds. br>br>In the meantime, you CAN'T do anything through Amazon because they force you to contact the manufacturer per their request. I've removed the stars I had given the product in light of this horrible customer service. br>br>The compartments work well for what we were looking for, storage containers for various legos in order to sort them out for future builds The rail system works okay, but it won't hold a lot of weight, and there's nothing to keep them from sliding out the back, as has been mentioned in other posts. I give the product a solid 4 out of 5 stars. br>br>I give the manufacturer a zero for customer service because I've contacted them multiple times to find out how we can get a replacement for one of the trays that was missing when it arrived and have received ZERO response since I bought it nearly a month ago. I was extremely dissatisfied with their customer service, especially since they force you to deal with them rather than Amazon.
Everything about it is ideal, including the ease with which the drawers can be opened, pulled out, and re-closed. There is no lip to catch the drawer (as there is on my other one).
I have two other similar cabinets mounted to the wall, each of which is a different brand. This cabinet's mounting capabilities appeal to me. To mount to the wall, the other two require the removal of drawers. I really like how the mounting holes are on the outside of this cabinet. The drawers are transparent, as opposed to other brands that are opaque (just my personal preference). The drawers are very easy to open and close. The only caveat is that if you need dividers, this might not be the best option. For you, this is a deal breaker. This cabinet has no drawers that can be divided.
