Probably - I have a couple of those tho for BT storage, I use corrugated boxes. I like to keep the tubes standing on-end rather than flat, and the boxes I have them in are easier to store.

My work table was a horror until I dumpster-dove a set of cheap wood shelves. It fit under the bench, and as they turn up at Goodwill I've been buying these colorful plastic bins. Tools and materials get sorted in.

Bins, Drawers and boxes I have (see below) - just not enough.

I agree. Though my room has gotten out of hand, I do like having everything within reach. I still have 3 or 4 plastic storage containers of kits downstairs to go through as well.
