| How modular drawer storage stacks up against standard shelving. | |
| Modular Drawer Storage Cabinets | Standard Shelving |
| Modular drawer storage systems provide the highest density storage available. | Shelving wastes valuable space. |
| Modular drawer storage systems allow the user to create immediately identifiable compartments to precisely match stored items by height, width and depth, and are easily bar code labeled for fast identification. | Inventory control is difficult because shelving doesn't provide for an efficient parts location system. |
| Full extension drawers allow easy access and full use of the furthest corner of each drawer. | Upper levels and the rear of shelves are hard to see and reach, and often wind up unused. |
| Modular drawers are protected from environmental wear and tear, and the locking system allows drawer contents to be stored safely and securely. | Shelving provides no protection from dust and dirt or pilferage. |
| The modular drawer approach of easily interchangeable parts gives the user flexibility for change and growth. | Installing or rearranging and moving shelving is time consuming and expensive. |
