Thank you! I just bought one and it arrived a few days ago. Because the Dreambox 3 just came out a few weeks ago, there isn't much information on the specifics or any videos at all about assembly except yours. Im so grateful you took the time to make this video. Although you aren't a fan and wouldn't buy one yourself, I'm not a "DIY guy" like you are. I like the design of the box and the simplicity of having everything already measured, cut, planned, and with the right hardware. I have a TON of art supplies, and if I can't see them, like in the wood taboret I have, I forget they're there. It also doesn't help that not everything I have even fits in it, despite its very large size, so my supplies are spread around in different places. That just makes it worse as far as keeping track of what I have and therefore what I can use. Looking at my oil paints, pencils, pastels, watercolors, mediums, papers, canvases, and brushes puts me in a much more creative mindset. I like the clear totes for that reason - that I can see what I have, but I agree they could be made of a significantly higher quality given the price. They're not SUPER flimsy, but the they are definitely overpriced. I bought the standard tote package because I have a lot that's already in storage containers. It made sense to use them and not fork over an extra $400 for the full tote package for 17 large totes, 11 mediums, and 5 small. My one real gripe so far is that the standard package has NO TOTES at all! Theyre super useful for storing brushes because they shouldn't be stored with the bristles up. It causes water or solvent to run down into the ferrule of the brush, which weakens it over time. Just FIVE small totes are $60 and they dont aupply the tracks which are an extra $15 for ten (2 per tote, if anyone is reading this) its a whopping $75 + tax for just 5 of the smallest totes. The totes are criminally overpriced.
Personally I feel everything from the company is overpriced. I do think the box is cool from at the design perspective, the ability to close the doors and hide everything away is nice. My issue is simply for the price of the box and totes I would expect better quality. I completely understand that as someone who does not do DIY, you just want to be able to buy and quickly assemble a pre made product. I have no issue with that as there are things I will not do simply because it would take to much time or I don't feel like I could produce a better result. The dream box is a product where I may not be able to produce a better product by doing it myself but for the price of it I feel it should be better quality. At minimum I think the totes need to be better for the price or at least lower the price of the totes. Like you said five small totes for $75 is criminal. Especially considering how flimsy the plastic is, to me that just does not justify the price tag.
