SmartDoll Storage? Sysmax Up System Multibox 9 Drawers

Tueaday June 25, 2024 - I went to TJ Maxx and picked up two plastic storage drawers. They are created by Sysmax, and they are called Up System Multibox. One has 9 drawers, one has 12. Unfortunately the 12 drawer unit had several cracks and chips I did not notice in the store, so I will need to return it, or possibly exchange it if TJ Maxx has more. I am guessing since they are called "Up System" they are stackable. I do like the purple accent color on the 9 drawer box. So I decided to see if I could fit all of my SmartDoll hands and stands in it. And for the most part, yes, all of the parts fit. But if my SmartDolls continue to grow, eventually this may become too small.
Pros:
✅️ Drawers have dividers to seperate different skin tones and easily accommodate all hands.
✅️ Drawers also have labels and are clear so easy to know what is contained.
✅️ I can confirm stands and hands fit!
Cons:
❌️The plastic the drawers are made of can chip or crack easily.
❌️There is not a divider piece provided for every divider slot.
❌️SmartDoll gauntlets can only fit 2 in a drawer.
I did not test busts, and I am not sure if they would fit upright as the height of the drawers is only 2.7 inches. I will update if I test that later.

I hope so! They are nice. I'll have to compare to the set I ordered from Michaels

Take the bad drawers out of that bigger unit and swap them out with good drawers from the smaller unit. Then return the smaller one. I love the fact the drawers are clear.

That is an excellent idea! Wish I would have thought of it before I returned the big one. I kept the smaller one though because I like the purple, although I did swap the few drawers that were cracked on the smaller one.

I purchased a couple storage units similar to those that were wooden with metal drawers from Home Goods years ago with no plans for their use. I love them and I have yet to find more in the same finish and sizes to continue that apothecary look. You couldn’t have convinced me then that I’d be using them now to store doll accessories. 😂 Anyway, I find the hardest part of organizing to be committing to a system for this very reason. If those drawers broke months or years from now, would that Sysmax company still be in business for you to order a replacement? These are the things going through my mind as I spend an hour in the aisle and in your way. 😂 You definitely dodged a bullet here. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, agreed, these will not last forever. Love that you find a great use for a sturdy set!
