In addition to the fact that the lid easily pops off, you can turn it around and place it on top and that combination still slides into the case.
That allows a two layer option for each drawer: a tray on top for papers, and an open drawer below it.
And people are reporting that the cart can’t handle the weight of a full load of papers, there is a trick for that.: Put the often-used stuff in the case and store the bulk elsewhere.
You can use the tray idea for notes on the labeling and location of the bulk storage.
I LOVE these! They are more than just for Scrapbooking. I have a HUGE bead, crystals & stones/cabs stash and these are the perfect way to store them. I am able to put them in order by color and can see through the boxes enough to see what's inside. The drawers are a good size... Holds a lot of stuff! Each drawer has a lid and I'm able to take them on the go. I've been storing my bead stash like this for many years. I'm up to 13 of these 6-Drawer Organizers.
I was going to order 2 of these, but could only afford one at the time I ordered it. And I really wanted to see what it was like before ordering 2. After I received this item, I wanted to order a second one but was not available. I checked around a few local places and discovered that Home Depot has the item but can only be ordered online. I purchased it through Home Depot and glad I did and when I did. This item is sturdy. It has a closed lid box for each of the shelves. I just wish I could have found this before I purchased the cart from Michael's, which is Formica=particle board and has a shelf for each of the boxes but must purchase the boxes separately. This item sits neatly underneath a table that I also purchased on amazon - stays neatly out of the way until needed. I really love the try on top to put tools that did not need to be in a closed lid box. A friend of mine saw them and was so impressed and had to have some for her art supplies.
I have three of these, they help me wrangle my crafting and sewing supplies. Two are stacked as a tower ( you can forego the wheels and snap the bottom of one into the top of the other), the second is next to them, and my serger is on top of it. That being said, I wish there wasn't a goofy pencil tray on top, I wish it was flat so the scrapbook paper, rotary-mat, and other flat items I put on top of the tower didn't become oddly warped. These are the standard iris containers, so your existing boxes will fit, but it does come with 6 boxes.
I recently moved to a smaller house but did not get rid of all my sewing supplies, so I needed to find something to store the items. This is the second cart I am now using for my embroidery threads, serger threads, specialty threads and bobbins. I also store fabric paints and colored pencils and graph paper ( for drafting quilts) in some of the "drawers." I like the fact that the drawers are not very deep, yet big enough to accommodate the larger thread spools while still enabling me to see the colors.
I store these carts under my cutting table. A welcome addition!

Description
This 6-case scrapbook cart is great for organizing and storing your scrapbook projects and supplies. With six double latched 12 inch x 12 inch cases and a built in organizer top, this is the perfect storage solution in any craft room. Not only can it hold all of your scrapbook paper, but all of your scissors, embellishments, and pens too.
I like that I can have my project cases lined up and easily accessible.
I only deducted a star because I wish the cases didn't slide out SO easily. When I tilt the tower, everything slides out (but how often will you tilt the unit?).
The tray on top keeps most-used items handily accessible, which is nice. I wish it were slightly deeper, or there were an add-on of containers that fit into the trays? Like a pencil cup or basket.
But it's as-advertised, and on-par with closetmaid/rubbermaid brand, do no real complaints.
I would purchase again.
This cart was absolutely perfect for my scrapbook paper and my Vinyl cricut products! I can take each individual case out of the cart (I labeled them by theme) and utilize the paper/vinyl in them and then slip it back into the slot! I keep some of my tools on top of the cart in the compartments!!!! I will be buying another one of these carts if I expand my scrapbook collection!
Didn't attach the wheels, but I use this for my whiteboards, expo markers, magic markers, construction paper and a few other things. I love these containers and had been buying them at Michaels for a while, but the organizer makes it so easy to work with them. It used to be trying to slide out the one on the bottom without messing up the whole stack. This is also good value because full price the clear containers at Michaels would be $60 (though I only get them on sale.)
***I gave 4 STARS because the plastic on the bins was not properly cut when I received it. I opened one up and stabbed my fingers with it. I'm glad I looked it all over before I set my toddlers toys in it. My husband cut off the extra plastic pieces. They were very sharp.***
I purchased this cart for all of my toddlers little toys. This will be perfect for all of her LOL dolls. I love that she can take the bins out and play with her toys, then pack them all up and store them away nice and neat.
The additional storage on top of the stand is great for larger toys and keeping stuff on display.
Besides the sharp plastic pieces we had to cut off, I love this.
I had recently purchased another brand of plastic drawer storage, and one of the bottom wheels broke off when I tried to move the unit across our carpet. This Iris brand unit rolls fine on our carpet, and the plastic is sturdier than the previous unit I bought. I am completely satisfied with the Iris brand.
