Workboxes from Michael's

I have been thinking about re-doing our workboxes as the ones we have don't work as well as I would like them to.  I had been looking at these from JoAnn's.


I liked the workboxes but wasn't crazy about the "industrial" look to them.  I was looking at the Michael's ad this weekend and noticed they had craft storage units on sale buy one get one for $0.01.

I went to our Michaels and decided I really liked the 3 drawer stack (seen on the bottom left).  The normal price was $34.99 so for a 6 drawer stack it is $35.00.  This is the same price as the JoAnn's.  Plus, since I can get 15% off as an educator at Michaels, it turned out to be a better deal.  

Unfortunately, they didn't have 12 in stock, so I had to get a raincheck for 6 of them.  The rest are in my car trunk for now since I don't want to put these together before we move.  I'll post a picture of them after I get them in the new house.

Instead of the velcroed numbers for each box, I'll probably just make laminated cards in each of the kids' colors with the numbers on them and then drop them in the label slots on the front of the drawers.

I saw those last week for the first time (I don't make it into Michaels very often). I thought maybe I was reading it wrong or something. Glad you found such a wonderful deal, and they look so nice!
