Storage boxes for bench seat drawer (2 seat)

[myvanrodney]

Any good recomendations for a snug fitting set of organising boxes that fit nicely in the 2 seat bench drawer (photos too if possible)?

Ive got my eye on 3 (2 big 1 small) UPPDATERA from Ikea, but Im wondering if there is a better combination.

Thanks all.

This is what I did and allows for a tv to be stored on top in a cushioned case

I think two should fit side by side but not tried it.

Quite a tight fit, but workable. I have non-slip sheet inderneath and although it only gains about 2-3mm, I trim off the four plastic studs on the underside of each of the four boxes.

Looks useful! Can you get the wand in and out without removing the boxes? And, can you stack one box inside another and still close the drawer (to keep the space flexible)?

On wand 'in and out', yes if the boxes are not rammed full, haven't tried them in the latter scenario but probably still yes: although taking boxes out is anyway easy (having 4 of them helps) so I can't see a problem either way.

Yes they stack but no not in the drawer - the second photos demonstrates just how tight it is. Care needs to be taken to ensure the lips are neither over each other or on a drawer ridge. You obviously cannot put an IKEA optional lid on and then close the draw, either.

But with careful opening and closing the four boxes are a perfect fit whilst having enough space to enable easy individual removal.

They do slide around on the steel drawer floor, hence the non slip mat (which is describe as 4mm thick but compresses to less with weight):
