When considering storage solutions, instead of buying new, try vintage blue! These steel cabinets and boxes add a warm industrial look to your style, and their pre-owned condition makes them an easy way of being eco-friendly. Better yet, their compact size and rectangular shape are space efficient, making them easy to blend with modular pieces.
To get vintage pieces shining, give it a good wipe down. Two passes with a cleaning spray and cotton rags does a solidly good job.

I NEED THESE DRAWERS ! ! ! I would love to have that in my home office. BEAUTIFUL.
Beautiful and great colors. I love drawers for all my stuff.
Why "Blue"? I don't get it. I have a old tall standing (on wheels) metal storage cabinet (with all those nifty drawers with the little metal frame label holders) that is red. I also have old metal tool & fishing tackle boxes that come in yellow & green. And I love my old olive green metal carrying file case with the black handle. So what's with all the blue? Oh, right. I see the price tags now. It's not about blue being the new fall color. It's just about advertising these items. Ok. I'm cool.
