The dividers do cause some problems, though they have not caused me
enough difficulty to really affect the boxes usefulness, it just pays to
pay attention to the types of parts they're good for and those they
aren't good for. They probably won't work too well for small (1x1 or so)
parts, but work just fine for larger parts, especially non-dense parts
which reduce the weight pressing against the dividers.
Of course without dividers, the provide 3 nice large compartments which
won't have any problems with shifting dividers.
