Sorted!
Purchased this to tidy my grandchildren’s bedroom. Have put all their Lego into.
Sorted into different types of blocks etc.
My grandchildren have said tha they are finding that it’s a lot easier to make different things now that it’s sorted.
Space saving, moveability and Sturdy
Fantastic for space saving , moveability an advantage , very sturdy . I use mine for my granddaughters clothes, at 8months old they need more changes of clothes daily, so this item holds a good volume and weight of clothes .

It does it job
It was smaller then expected but still very spacious. The wheels aren’t working so well and it’s more like scraping away than rolling. Also, I do find it a bit overpriced but there isn’t anything cheaper in that style and color.

Very good quality and very well packaged.
Some people report cracks or damage, but mine was very well packaged. Very good quality.
Ideal
Ideal for what I wanted, I only have a small kitchen so this is ideal storage piece, it’s light weight and easy to move, yet sturdy.
It’s what you’d expec
I was pleased to find out that there is no assembly required, this means it comes in a huge box but it’s so light that it doesn’t matter.
Exactly what I expected it to be for the most part – I thought the black parts would be metal but it’s plastic, not really an issue though. Maybe a bit expensive for what it is but it gets the job done.

Love i
Love it haven’t worked out how to put the wheels o
Works for me.
I was a bit concerned about ordering this because it seems some people have received theirs damaged. I needn’t have worried. It arrived well packaged and in good shape. It is very useful to me, good storage.

plastic seems good quality
arrived well packaged. seems decent materials. The amount of boxes is exceptional. I use this for my car cleaning materials. What with shampoo, wash mitts, wax, microfibre cloths, wheel brushes, chamois, it saves my lifting everthing out and back. now I just wheel out this unit where everything is all in one place. Keeps tidy and clean.

Perfect lightweight drawers for narrow spaces.
Was looking for a narrower set of drawers and this fitted perfectly. Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. Ready assembled. Only downside is there was a lot of packaging.
Slightly wobbles on a carpeted floor but no problem.
Good storage for what I want I can split my papers into separate sections. Overall very good.
Choose size correctly
Okay. Tall enough for my needs. But not that spaceous. Not really for clothes more for office use
Compact, on wheels, fits under a desk
I like how it fit under my desk, the wheels are useful for moving it around, and it is light. Not very sturdy, but sturdy enough when full.
It can be a bit top heavy so put your more heavy stuff in the bottom to top it just falling all over the place like mine was. Now I’ve reorganised it though, it’s a useful little under desk storage cabinet.

These are exactly what I needed! Fit perfectly in my wardrobe to organise lots of small things that was first just lying around. Did not arrive broken, despite a lot of reviews saying they did – took a chance on these and they are amazing!! Great quality, can fit a lot in them. I bought 3

Useful drawers.
Replacement for one that did not have stoppers so the drawer fell out and cracked. This one looks smart and is safer. It is a little smaller than my other one which encouraged me to sort and tidy (win, win!).

Good produc
Nice set of drawers, sturdy and lightweight storage for my shoes, fits neatly in my wardrobe, would recommend
Already in use. How did we survive without this roving storage solution.
Already in use! Taller than my last unit. 5 deep drawers. Arrived as one piece just castors to add. Only snag it doesn’t fit under the counter top but we quickly found a home for it. We are using this unit for paperwork we’re accumulating whilst working from home. Delivery was ber quick. Great delivery driver. Minimal packaging. Unit arrived in perfect condition. Highly likely we will order another for the garage.

They do there job and fit nicely where I wanted them
Deep drawers
Product fine , unfortunately damaged in transit .
Company refunded quickly ,no quibble.
Thank You
Nice
Perfect for storage at the stables, light weight yet pretty sturdy
This was damaged on arrival, a small bit clear plastic broken off and cracked on corner, as it was for my granddaughter who was heading off to student halls for storage that weekend, did not have time to return as needing it. So ended up sticking the bit back on, tried to super glue but no luck.

Good tower storage.
Easy to fit the casters. Have to push a little harder until they click into place.
Which is good as you don’t want them falling it 😉
Was a bit thinner than i thought.
Again that was good for me as it was going into a confined space.
Draws are great, lots of room.
Had to knock one star off for sturdiness, this really applies to all these plastic towers not just this one.
It’s not a problem but just feels wobbly at the top.
Need to hold with two hands to turn it around and then it feels ok.
To be honest now i think about it, i can’t knock that one star, as it’s done everything i wanted. All towers will be wobbly due to there height.
So for what it is it’s got full marks.
I have just one problem, the dam draws are full already :-O

Nice little uni
Quite lightweight but suitable for what I wanted it for to stand continually in one place
poor quality
My product arrived today one box was broken and and no wheels
Not broken!
I felt like it was a 50/50 chance it would be broken, like other reviews, but was happy to find no breakages. Feels like its not something to put much weight in/on it so be careful when adding the wheels as you have to use force to fit them, which could cause breakages.
Light and good value for money
It looks great in my room, bigger than I expected.
Money well invested
This storage is great for storing my books and stationery under my desk.
Practical storage
Very good for craft items , paper, card etc used in my craft room and it’s easy to move round
perfec
looks really good and just what I needed for my craft room
Excellent storage
Excellent product, wrapped very well and able to store more than I expected. Will order again whe
Love o
Does the job, love the little draw at the top. Definitely using it for good use. Glad it comes with wheels, made it easier to move around when I was looking for a place for i
Big storage
A lot of storage in these drawers, arrived in good condition.
Happy purchase
I use these drawers in my workshop. They are so useful for so many things they slide well and whole thing is sturdy
Great storage - Recommend
Really pleased, we needed some temporary storage, that never took up too much space and was affordable, this was perfect. Tall slim, holds a lot.
Bargain price!
I have a lot of crafting materials so I needed something to store them in.
It is literally so lightweight out of the box, and the only assembly is pushing in the metal pegs on the casters.
Might be purchasing another when I sort through all my material…
Delivery
Love my storage drawers they came quicker than I expected
Grea
My only issue was the packaging that the item came in. It was way too big, and as I live in an apartment block I had to carry this oversized box up four flights of stairs. Thr item itself is just what I needed nice and compac

Very useful
Used this as a filing cabinet for all household documents. The product is well suited for this purpose and works well.
Functional product.
Print delivery of an excellent quality product. Just right for my requirements. Wheels seem a little flimsy but work fine.
Great storage
Great value but if you put much weight in drawers very hard to move on a carpe
get what you pay fo
decent size, light. Arrived with one drawer cracked on the handle bit of a pain but not worth the hassle for the price.
Good size for the money. No sharp edges but cannot move when full
These are like every other storage tower. Decently well made but flimsy if full. Its great for craft supplies and kids stuff but not for filling with books
Value for money
Very surprised with finish and good value and excellent service
Good Value se
Great value drawer set to keep bits in only problem I had was that the bottom drawer was broken but could still use so haven’t bothered sending back. Nice deep drawers and has organised all my back up toiletries and bits and bobs into a nice tidy space

No problems at all
I’m pleased with this. It looks good and an actually get quite a lot into each drawe
Bought this to store my granddaughter’s toys in I like it because there’s plastic tabs on the side of the drawers which stop I’m coming all the way out.
You just have to lift them up slightly, it might be an inconvenience for same adults or for those who’s have no patience lol…
But for my 2 year old granddaughter it safety, saves her pulling them out onto her head or dropping the draw onto her feet.
They are very lightweight and can be pushed over so i just put mine into a corner.
Will buy them again maybe to store wool in my crafyroom lol
P.S don’t list them when they’re full up because they do come apa
Does what it says
Easy to assemble and great for my daughters craft stuff in her room.

Large capacity, lightweight and convenient to move
Luckily this tower comes assembled on delivery, it’s lightweight and although the material isn’t the strongest, it feels sturdy and can maintain a heavy load.
The wheels are a big help in moving it around, and are also detachable if you’d like to keep it still. The 5 compartments have large capacity and open and close smoothly. They are separated from each other so any spillages will be contained.
It’s a modernish office looking drawer, but it fits well at home too.
Overall, it’s simple, does what it says, sturdy and convenient.
I was overly happy with this new set of drawers. The material is not the strongest, so don’t expect some super tough plastic. But it does exactly what it says on the tin and it looks good with it too!
I gave this 5 stars as the product was exactly as I expected. Word of advice, make sure to MEASURE first as its your fault if your order the wrong thing.
Perfect for my needs
Thrilled to bits with it. Son has put shelf on garage wall putting unit on it for ease of use as difficult for me to bend. Anchored unit so that no risk of tipping off. Ideal. Keeps the pesky vermin well away from our veg. Thank you inventor, designer, manufacturer whoever! Great find.

Good storage capacity, sturdy and light weigh
This would be ideal as storage in a child or adolescent’s room, the transparent nature of the drawers makes it easy to locate what you are looking for, if the shelving unit should topple it has not a great deal of weight to it (besides what you add to it in storing objects) and is unlikely to cause an injury (especially if you are using it to store clothes and other items unlikely to act as dead weight).
It is sturdy enough that I believe it will protect whatever you store in it, within reason, it is likely the drawers or unit will be damaged before its contents. The individuals drawers can be removed altogether and used for sorting before being placed within the frame again. It could also be used for art supplies, again easy to see what is stored where but also will really help keep a space tidy.
Its really great storage, will protect whatever you store in it against settling dust and keep it clean until you choose to use it again. Great if you are a book worm and want to store books or stationary. Recommended.
Very good quality
I was very happy with this item very good quality better than the Brand’s I have bought from local stores. If needed I would buy it again same make
Great storage for craft supplies
Great storage solution – I now have 2 sets in my arts & crafts space at home. Sturdy enough for all my heavy paints etc. Very useful to have clear drawers so I can easily see what’s in which drawer! They look quite attractive as well. Straightforward to put together. Will be getting another set when I’ve outgrown these two.

Exactly as described and arrived on time very well packaged. Good size drawers.
Grea
Really pleased with sturdiness, usually they fall apart when trying to move but not this one!
Organization sorted
We live in a rented property ,storage is a major problem we are facing ,my wife has taken over the two cupboards ,I keep all my things in a storage space with no rails or racks.When i saw these drawers I instantly ordered them .
They came packed in a plastic bag and was lighter than I expected, it comes with four wheels which easily fix at the bottom,make sure you fix the wheels when the drawers are empty.
With the wheels these draws can be taken anywhere.
There are 5 draws in total which can hold a good amount of things ,I stored almost all of my clothes ,pajamas,gym wear,socks etc making it easy for me to find them easily .The transparent front makes it easy to identify the thing which you are looking for.
Just one set back I noted is that you cannot but heavy stuff in it,otherwise very happy with this product.
Great storage
This has been a great addition to our garage. The draws have ample size for great storage. It cones ready built so no fuss and it’s very sturdy.
Ideal for the bathroom
This comes fully assembled which was a pleasant surprise. All you need to pop in place are the casters. It’s ideal for us for a set of bathroom drawers and with the casters it can be moved easily for convenient cleaning underneath. It’s lightweight and ideal for things like toiletries. It is transparent so bear that in mind but I quite like that. It’s maybe not the strongest made piece for for around 20 it does represent good value.
Helps to keep things tidy - Light weight items
I received the 5 Drawer chest which arrived in a large box, it is already pre-assembled except for the castors (wheels that push in at the bottom). It measures 81cm H x 29cm W x 37.5 D with the wheels on.
The housing/frame of the set of drawers is black and the drawers that fit inside are of a clear white plastic, you can see the items that you put in.
It is all made of plastic, I would not use these to store weighty items, they have helped me clear my desk as all the small items I had on there, they have found a new home within these drawers, handy too that I can still see the items so I know which drawer I have put a certain item.
I am going to use these drawers for computer components, wires and misc small items, it currently stands next to my desk and doesn’t look out of place next to my computer setup it blends in nicely.
I can see these in use in a child’s bedroom for children’s clothes, toys, knick knacks etc, they do make good use of space they store a lot but don’t take up much room.
Modern looking and a good way to store light weight items.
Simple and effective
This is a very handy set of storage drawers, the drawers themselves are a decent size and are ideal of storing A4 sized paperwork or just about anything. They are nice and deep. The casters are a push fit into the base and it took quite a bit of time to get them all level. Care is needed when pushing them in not to overstrain the base. But it is essential as else the unit wobbles.
Good for storing paperwork, but less suited to heavy objects
This is a review of the 5 clear Drawer Storage tower on casters-Design Chest with a fifty litre storage capacity. The unit comes fully assembles with the exception of the wheels which can easily be knocked into place. The unit best suits an office environment where it, with drawers above A1 size, are suited to storing papers . It works will for this use.
The unit is not particularly sturdy reflecting the plastic construction of the black frame. I would not use it for storing anything very heavy. Also if the top drawer is full and the other drawers empty the unit could easily overbalance. To make it secure something heavy really needs to be kept in the lower drawers.
Nonetheless this is an fairly inexpensive storage solution which for paperwork works fine. Four stars.
well-priced storage
The Iris Ohyama 5 Drawer Storage tower comes fully assembled, apart from the casters, which just snap into place.
The storage tower is good for garages, offices etc for storing lightweight items. You can easily see what is in each of the 5 drawers, and it is light and easy to move around.
If you want something sturdier, you will have to pay more and choose another product. Its a well-priced, plastic storage unit.
Brilia
Brillant. Delivered fully assembled. No damage anywhere. I wanted this to sort out lego bricks. Drawers are A4size and perfect. Would recomend.
Nice sturdy design and good quality.
The Iris Ohyama 5 Drawer Storage tower arrives intact and ready to put out for usage apart from the castor wheels, which will need to be placed at the bottom of the drawer set if required. I gave the storage set to my wife who was pleased to receive this. The overall storage set is sturdy and well built, we like the overall quality and simplicity of design. The draws work well and there is good capacity for storage in each drawer. On this occasion the set is used to store hair-dryer, cosmetics, combs and similar type items.
Decent option for a fair price
Update: still going strong nearly two years later.
High quality but slightly inaccurate description regarding the removable wheels. The wheels come removed. Once in place they are extremely difficult to remove. I haven’t done so as I am concerned that the amount of pressure required to remove them may break the unit. So be sure if you want them on or off.
I’ve not seen the product description state that this unit can separate. It comes as a five drawer unit but you can separate them.
In terms of quality there is a fair to good standard of materials used. The plastic seems strong. It is not flimsy or weak. However, the bottom of the drawers could be a bit more reinforced as they flex outwards under pressure/weight. This unit is clearly not meant to store heavy items.
The structure of the drawers looks good. It is strong enough for purpose but is not capable of heavy weight. It is not a solid peice of plastic and rather thin.
The wheels don’t fill me with a lot of confidence. I would say these are the products main weakness. I would suggest that the amount of weight this unit is designed to carry would enable the user to lift or slide and push the whole unit easily and the wheels would probably be obsolete. Obviously that depends on if the user is physically able to do so. Especially as rolling it is quite awkward. The wheels don’t operate smoothly.
Th drawers themselves slide in and out well. Smooth operation.
It arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. No assembly was required.
In conclusion this is a good option for stationary, paper creams, sewing or knitting materials, crafting materials, cosmetics, toys, sweets/snacks/vegetables. I’m going to be storing lego in this. Especially at the low price of 20.99. Bargain in my mind.
Good sturdy container boxes.
Good sturdy container boxes. Handy that comes with casters as helps with manoverring when full.
Important not to load with mega heavy stuff, but very handy to help sort out a cluttered room or garage.
The boxes slide easily in and out, but not good for heavy items as previously mentioned
Good storage towe
This drawer tower is just what I needed as an extra space saver in my child bedroom. I already put few stuff in it to demonstrate the size of it. In my opinion is really good, useful storage. The drawers are secured from falling out. Drawers are sturdy enough but as a whole tower it is a bit wobbly. End of the day this is made of plastic so we cant expect to much from it. Good product but not for to heavy items.
Storage towe
Clear shelving unit is great for storing stationary or bathroom products. The drawers are a lot deeper than I had imagined. Sturdy frame and durable material. I’m very pleased and will be ordering myself some more!
universal
Superb drawers they hold a surprising amount of things, they feel better made than your standard plastic drawers, very handy, I like that I can see inside so I know which draw I need. Excellent value for money.
Nicely made and extremely useful storage unit with wheels.
Lightweight, plastic storage box, 40 x 29 x 76 cm, with five fair sized drawers that are quite shallow but large enough for any type of smaller items. Arrives with a set of casters which need to be fitted but once done it’s easy to push the chest anywhere you want it in the house. The clear design on a plain, black frame fits in with any room in the house and suitable for more or less anything you want to store from spices in the kitchen to toys in a nursery etc. The only ‘niggle’ is the drawers are slightly tight and a little difficult to pull open but that’s only a slight hitch compared to the usefulness of the unit and overall quality.
Good for light stuff
These drawers are a useful addition to the house, ideal for keeping all the hats, gloves and scarves in one place as winter approaches. They come fully assembled, all you need to do is out the wheels on if you want them to be moveable, as the layers do have a tendency to come apart if you try and move them without the wheels. The drawers move in and out easily and whilst they are opaque, you can get a good idea of what’s in them. I would say that these drawers are only for light items though, as they’re not very robust, being made of fairly lightweight plastic. I can’t really comment on value for money as there’s no price listed at the long of review, but if they are around 20 for the set I think that is reasonable.
Sturdy and very useful
I am really pleased with these drawers. They fit perfectly into the allocated space and are sturdy enough for my needs. Solid enough for a plastic drawer unit. The drawers need a little movement to put them back in unit, just much like other plastic drawer units. The 4 wheels is a great add on for helping moving around. Very good!
Impressive Enough To Purchase Another Two
* Review Of The 5 Drawer Unit *
I’m surprised at how impressed I am with this attractive looking drawer system! I was suspicious it might be rubbish, but it’s not at all – and I’m a picky reviewer.
DIMENSIONS
The DC-005 5 drawer unit I have is 760mm high without the castors. Attaching them (it’s optional) adds another 45mm.
The footprint is 400mm deep and 290mm wide, so the set is fairly compact. The internal dimensions of each drawer is 360mm deep x 239mm wide, with a usable height of 130mm.
FEATURES
The drawers have a very useful stop arrangement, allowing them to open out to 280mm then preventing them from opening any further. It allows full access while preventing the thing falling out and spilling its contents. Most budget drawer stacks don’t have this, and it’s a very useful feature indeed! I also really like the vertical drawer sides, which are far more practical than angled ones for neat storage.
SUITABILITY
Not really suitable for heavy objects due to the lightness of it, and the plastic frame, it is nevertheless perfect for things like craft supplies, hobby materials, toys, cosmetics and other household clutter that you might like to tidy away and make more easily locatable. I’m using my five drawer set to store my shoes, and it’s absolutely perfect for the job. No longer strewn horizontally around the floor collecting dust, they’re now neatly shored in a fraction of the space, inside a cupboard.
OVERALL
The drawer set is made in Holland, and is delivered fully assembled apart from the castors. The plastic is thin, but flexible, so you can bend and deform it without it breaking. It’s well designed and attractive looking for what it is. For light to medium contents it’s perfect, and the price point is good too. I’m impressed enough to have purchased another two! Recommended.

I love this ‘Iris Ohyama 5 Drawer Storage tower on casters-Design Chest DC-005-Plastic, black/clear, 55 L, 40 x 29 x 76 cm, 5 x 11L’. It has solved a storage problem in our under-stairs cupboard. I used to have a 3 drawer similar unit but its framework was really chunky and took up a lot of space, for the space I gained from the actual drawers. That one has now gone out to the garage now and this one has taken its place with aplomb. It fits in so much better and stores more than my previous one.
It is a strong unit and the drawers are a good size. The frame is streamlined and lays flat to the drawers. The unit comes with four sturdy push in castors but I do not need it to move around, so left them off. The drawers are anchored, meaning that they do not pull all the way out, which is handy. However, if you want to remove the drawers to wash them, you just compress either side and they will pull out. The top is flat too, so can be used as a surface.
In summary – These drawers are sturdy, well made, spacious and work well. I would be happy to recommend this product.
Great for storage!
I’m using this in our garage.
Its perfect as the size fits well and doesn’t stick out too much.
As our garage has loads of bits and bobs its now all in the draws which makes it a lot more tidy.
The draws are very sturdy and holds a fair amount.
The great thing is it light so I can move the tower out the way when I need to with any problems.
Very practical, great!
Perfect for easy access toy storage in my toddlers room. Clear drawers so you can see what’s inside, easy to open and close without snagging Or getting stuck (we have had similar versions which don’t open as smoothly as this), it’s very light weight but also steady and does not topple over.
Very happy with this and would recommend it. It’s pretty multi purpose, and would also be great for craft supplies
Very tidy
So this has fit very well in my hallway and now stores our winter hats, scarfs and gloves in it and much more. Someone did suggest putting shoes in, not a bad idea either. It has misty clear plastic draws, with a black frame. It comes with wheels which you can attach if you like. It comes assembled so no messing, just unwrap and use. It is more solid than i was expecting considering it’s made of plastic parts. It is great for tidying clutter (as i have found) and fits well in various places without looking out of place. I have only put light things in it as i’m not sure if the plastic will crack if i overload it too much, although it has survived a very solid waggy tail bashing from our large dog. No damage there.
Overall, great product. Sturdier than you would think but don’t go mad. Stylish and universal enough to fit into most rooms without looking odd. Add wheels if you wish.I love our one!
Top Storage Uni
Brilliant, brilliant storage unit.
This is a really good size with 5 drawers.
It is clear plastic, so you can see what is in the drawers.
It is lightweight, and so can be easily manageable.
Overall this is a really good storage unit.
Love it.
Very light and a little flimsy not for anything heavy
This set of drawers arrived in a huge box, thankfully not very heavy. The drawers feel a little flimsy so whilst I was thinking I might be able to use it in the bathroom for bottles of shampoo and shower gel etc. I am not sure it is strong enough. However it will be perfect for my daughters bedroom for all her craft stuff.
Dept is goog but hoping a little wide
I am using this product for storing my jars and water bottle and lids
I wanted a set of drawers that would be deep enough to fit some larger items (Blue Yeti Microphone, for example), without being too large that its hard to find anything in them.
I got what I wanted. Plenty of storage, with enough draws that I can sort the items I had to store!
