Plastic file crates that hold legal size file folders will hold all Plano
37xx storage boxes and probably the comparably sized TackleLogic boxes. The
crates stack securely on top of each other by nesting the grooved bottom
into a slotted top rim. Mine stack up to 6 crates high until too tall to reach.
The TackleLogic boxes offer a front handle for easy pulling from a full
crate of boxes. The Plano boxes do not have a handle, so you should leave
some extra space in the crate to allow your fingers to fit between the boxes
and grab a box to pull it out.
When you build you can turn the crates on their sides and slide them under
your table.
Best prices at discount stores, not office supply stores. WalMart sells
them for $3. Big Lots sells them for $2 when they have them.
