Elizabeth Ward Bead Storage Solutions 82 Piece Stackable Bead Storage Containers with Lid for Art Supplies and Craft Storage, Clear (2 Pack)

My first Ward trays I purchased 5(?) years ago! The first one I paid over $50.00 for one! I have added trays over the years, and having 14 very expensive units to store 35 years of bead collecting, I thought I had sworn off. Then I saw these on Amazon, for almost half the price I used to pay. SOLD! lol!I have nothing but good things to say about this system. The little bead boxes absolutely fit!! The lids stay on like they should. My precious bead babies have a clean organized place to live.I have made some improvements to the system that I will share with you!The handles on the boxes stick up too high to make sliding them in and out easy- it’s pretty hard. I took them off. (If you travel with them, then leave them on). Without the handles, they slide in and out easily.The second thing I did was to purchase (From Amazon) a glue backed felt (in black), that I cut and wrapped around the bottom. Early into this adventure, I could see that sliding the trays in and out on top of each other would mar the see-through plastic trays, so that eventually I would NOT be be able to see through them, because they would be scuffed. Solution? Glue backed felt (Also from Amazon) has solved that problem entirely. I cut a pattern, and wrapped the BOTTOM of each tray with the felt! I know, I am a genius, right?Next, I accidentally found the PERFECT STAND to hold my Ward trays!!! It is also from Amazon made by Songmig. It is a wire 3 tier printer stand. It is on wheels with a flat top, that I keep clear as a place to set the tray I am looking at. The trays are a PERFECT fit!!!!TIP: Place the wire cart where you will not have to move it! The wheels are plastic, and beads are heavy!. I am POSITIVE if I rolled it fully loaded, the wheels would not last long!!! When I have to clean behind it I remove most of the trays, clean, and put the trays back.GREAT SET UP, and it uses three products from my favorite shopping center-AMAZON. What more could a happy beader ask for?I’ll think of something I’m sure!

Best bead and jewelry finding storage. I have about 5 of these now and they work great for organizing my jewelry supplies. I can easily find what I am looking for and they hold up well!

This is the gold standard for seed bead storage. Don't keep your seed beads in a gazillion different containers or bags. All your beads will be in one place, with excellent visibility and security with this product. It is much easier to plan projects and take stock of what you have. Then you can take out exactly what you need while working and the lids close securely so that beads don't get scattered by a misplaced movement or a curious cat.

Great bead storage! If you have a lot of tiny items this is the best storage. You can see everything at a glance and if you prefer to label things, there are label stickers included too. I bought two but think I need to order more!

I like the design of these storage sets for the number of individual bead boxes, the tray design, quality of plastic, sturdiness, lid for tray, secure-hinged lids on bead boxes, the included labels, low profile and stackability. These are the smallest box size and only hold about 10 grams each. I'm using them for seed beads and need to use two or sometimes three boxes per package as most store bead containers are more like 20 g. Maybe the medium size boxes would be better. And finally a suggestion for the labeling. I don't like that the stickers are designed to go on the bottom of each box because it blocks your view of the beads within. The lids on top are opaque.

Very pleased. The boxes I received are all the smallest sizes in both boxes.

Do you need lots of little boxes? This storage system has you covered. Each of the smallest size of box fits about two 5g tubes of seed beads. The box comes with labels, which are great for keeping track of the inventory code for each type of bead. The stickers smudge easily, so let the ink dry thoroughly before applying. The lids on the boxes are opaque white while the boxes are clear. Thumb indentations on the side of the boxes makes it easy to take out any given box. The lid and the box are made of two different types of plastic. It seems to me that they are joined by plastic welding a tab from the top into a slot on the bottom. Bending the lid back too far or just being unlucky will cause the top to detach from the bottom. Superglue will easily fix this problem. This is by far my favorite bead storage system. I like that I can see all the colors at once, next to each other and organize them as I like. Unlike tubes, the labels don't get in the way. The gentle slope of the bottom of the box makes it easy to pour out the right number of beads. The wide opening of the box makes returning extra beads much easier than funneling them back into tubes. This is my go-to organizational method for seed beads.

Extremely well-made. I love great organization and this item didn't disappoint!
