Help me think of something to do with this awkward storage thing.

Fran you could of course use it to store underwear and socks. I cheated though by reading what it said in the advert linked to the OP. If the whole thing doesn't fit into a drawer this may be less useful. Perhaps you could cut the thing down so that it did fit into a drawer.

The idea I had was to use it to store those glass baubles for the Christmas tree. The only thing is they are not made of glass anymore and being plastic could be put in any ordinary drawer.
You can get glass ones, bit more expensive though
 
You could store stationery or medicines in it (out of reach of toddler for the latter of course). Storage for sweets, or jars of jam?

You could use it to collect your finger and toe nail clippings - each internal compartment for a years worth of clippings, and you could then tell us after 9 years how much each annual crop weighed. You could also do the same with belly button fluff.
 
Well I've thought and I've thought and I've thought and I've cudgelled my brayns and I think you should take it outside, store some matches in it and then set light to the useless fucker.

Srsly, what were Ikea thinking ? I doubt they even do a drawer where that thing would fit. I would check, but it would be a waste of decent life expectancy. Cut your losses mrsfran, and have fun with conflagration ;)
 
lego sorter :thumbs:

We're not quite at the small lego stage. But I can see that, should I put it back in the wadrobe to mature for another few years as per killer b 's suggestion, it could then be retrieved when small child reaches an inevitable fiddly-things stage. Beads, legos, etc.

It's just so BIG. And useless.
 
Use a few sheets from each roll and then they will fit. Or buy cheaper loo roll. It's Santino's sybaritic and extravagant insistence on 5-ply stuff advertised by puppies that's the problem here.

Can you imagine the logistics? Always having to have 1.8 x 9 toilet rolls. You'd have to have a usage rota.
 
You could source plastic containers of the same dimension as the compartments, which would both strengthen it and provide you with more practical storage possibilities.
 
Seems though it's from Ikea, the only use I can think of is sorting the hundreds of brackets, dowels, screws and plastic bits you need to assemble their bloody furniture.

Other than that, charity shop it. It's rubbish.
 
If we really can't think of something I could do with it, I could give it to daughter's nursery. Kids love compartments. Apart from when they're actually being used usefully.

But come on guys! There MUST be something!

How could I make it into a fire station? Or a... a... hospital. Or SOMETHING.
