I could use some of these. All of my Akro-Mils drawer units are either the
23-drawer or the 36-all-too-small-to-use variety. I definitely prefer the
cabinets with the larger drawer sizes. I currently have a lot of empty
small-size drawers, and not nearly enough medium- and large-size drawers for
some of my overflow storage.
I was recently gazing at my sorting bins deciding that I could stand to add
six more of the 23-drawer units and a pair of 36-drawer units. However, if
cabinets with all mid-size drawers were available (18-drawers?) I would leap
at the chance to score 8 or 16 of them.

Wal-Mart currently sells the 23-drawer and 36-drawer units for just under
$11 apiece. ($10.97, IIRC...) So if Akro-Mils can compete with that price
on a direct order, I'd definitely take some. Also, since I have never seen
the 18-drawer unit at Wal-Mart, I'd definitely like to find an alternate
supplier.
I also once found some of these units at the soon-to-be-demised Bradlees
department stores. At the time, they were a few pennies more expensive than
at Wal-Mart. However, if you were to find a stash of these on 70% clearance
at Bradlees, you'd be in pretty good shape. (If the clock hasn't already
run out for "Mrs. B.", I mean.)
