    Stackable parts bins?

    I don't want a rack... I want the bins to sit on my shelves. I don't want to pick them up or take them places. I want them to sit still on the shelf and hold bolts just like the bins I have... with less up front cost... My question is. Are the other brands really any differant in quality? If...

Ended up loosing an early 70's 4x8 table, and a few 50's era 11ga metal selves that were 36" tall and 36x36 square. The table was wood and I don't miss it. But I wish I could have found room to...
