I am looking at something like this (the unit on the right, but different configuration of drawers). My thinking is that the double depth x-narrow drawers would work for stamps. I'm hoping someone here may own them and be able to tell me if they work with the standard Avery Elle/Check Out Store 4x6 stamp pockets. The measurements tell me it might be close and I haven't been able to make it to my closest store with them to try it out for myself. I'd love the help so I can move on to another solution if it won't work. Thanks!! ETA: broken link. |

Thanks for the pic. Cool unit! I don't have it, so unfortunately, I can't help. My Mom has a unit that looks like this type of material (white metal mesh) and I CAN tell you that it is really well made and has held up nicely.

There is an image here that is similar to what I want to do. My issue is that I want to use the standard stamp pockets and these are the CTMH 6x6 envelopes. I was going to see about going to the store yesterday to try my pockets out in a display unit, but I came down with a bug Wednesday afternoon and have been out of commission since then. creativescrapbooker.ca/2017/09/01/where-you-create-with-alyson-mayo/ |

I love that storage idea, but have invested a lot in the fridge binz. Please let us know what happens and share a pic if you find a unit that works.

Let us know how you get on scrapaddict702. Elfi is actually available here so I’m wondering if it might work for my stamps - though some of my stamp pockets would probably be too large. |

There was an elf sale going on today at the container store. I saw two different pickup trucks with several large boxes of this brand today. It was quite busy there.

Okay I was at a Container Store today right after I saw this but didn't think about taking an AE pocket, but I found that drawer size (the middle ones on the right side of your linked picture, right?) and would say that it does fit knowing approximate size of the envelope but obviously can't totally confirm. I'm now kicking myself because I could have measured it in the store today. Sorry.

Did you get it figured out? I have to return something to the Container Store, so I can go and try it out possibly tomorrow (I assume they’re open).
Is it the most common Avery Elle pocket size?

I haven't. I am actually about to head out there to see if they have a unit on display in just a little bit...just have to get the rest of the family ready. And yes, I'm aiming to use them for the standard sized pockets. |

I wish I saw this. I will check it out. Hopefully they still sell them. I’ll check measurements. I may pick up one. I can make room for it.

It works. They had a display unit almost identical to what I wanted (dif color, slightly dif drawer set up) and it will work great so long as I fold over the flaps. I hope that I end up liking it. I stood there 5 minutes waiting for help, told the lady what I wanted and she grabbed it all in like 30 seconds. I feel like something has to be missing since their site is not user friendly and it took me ages to write down all the pieces, lol.
