One of the things I want for my new garage, is a convenient small parts storage system. I've seen the HF parts boxes and racks people build, but I'm looking for something more along the 'boxes on rack' style. Specifically, I'm thinking either the cardboard box on shelf style, or plastic box on shelf from Uline:

I love the closed plastic bin on shelf style, as I won't have to worry about the long-term garage dirt and dust getting in the bins. No doors means I can also park cars relatively close to a cabinet like this and still access the items inside:

And obviously the parts cabinets are of interest as well, especially those with shelves as I could combine my small parts, hardware and chemical storage in one spot:

I'm wondering if there are other sources, preferably Canadian, that I should be looking at for these types of shelves and cabinets? I suppose I'll take US sources as well, as I could always ship to my USA office and bring them across...but Canadian sources are definitely preferred.
I'm generally 'okay' with the Uline pricing, but I have no idea whether they are priced well for this type of product, expensive, or cheap. Basically I need some other sources to compare to so that I only spend what I have to in order to accomplish my goals. Plan is to use these for storage of hardware, electrical items and other small parts. I anticipate buying one unit to start, and expanding to a second as I get close to filling it.
