(...) I dunno if they're still around, but a Wal-Mart near me was clearning a "gift set" out that included this, the 60 drawer unit, and six "akro-bins" for $8ish. Not a bad deal. (...) I've got a mixed set of Akro-Mils and Plano. The Akro-Mils (...) (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Many people like the small 18/23/60/whatever-drawer units that sell for ~$10, but in your case (and mine) you need something that makes better use of your closet's depth - 6" deep just doesn't use the space. My storage system uses three basic (...) (23 years ago, 22-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I like the 7-drawer IRIS cabinets that you can get from Costco for $25. They're about 5 feet tall, and hold a pretty large amount of LEGO. --Bill. (23 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Even the same Wal-Mart location tends to move these items around from one week to the next. The Akro-Mils drawer units are usually near the hardware and power tools. Look for plastic toolboxes and stuff like that. Then, look on the top shelf (...) (23 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

I was under the impression that Wal-mart once claimed their prices were lower because their stores were all the same and they saved on the unloading from the trucks because of the consistency. Hah! From my shopping in Virginia, I would say look for (...) (23 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

Hi all, Where in Wal-Mart should I be looking in order to find the Akro Mills storage cabinets? I spent awhile wandering in Hardware, but to no avail. Should this be tellnig me that my Wal-Mart doesn't have them? Or am I looking in the wrong place? (...) (23 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)
