PlydolexWooden Organizer for 74 Bottles of Paints and 14 Brushes - Rack/Organizer with 2 Cabinets for Art Tools and 6 Miniature Stands - Modular Rack for Miniature Paint Set

I was never 100% sold on these balsa-wood looking paint holders. They looked really thing and fragile, like a stiff wind would just knock it all over. There's also fewer models for Vallejo paints, and none for Army Painter (which makes up most of my current paint collection).I needed a new storage solution, it was time to stop keeping these in the boxes and have something nice looking that is also easy to access when you're looking for specific colors, effects, washes, tones, etc. After a lot of internal back and forth, I went with the Plydolex Vallejo Paint Organizer. Even though it's specifically designed for the 17ml Vallejo bottles, I took a chance since the Army Painter bottles are just slightly bigger at 18ml. The Army Painter pots fit well, but not perfectly.When the product arrived I was excited to put it together, and to be honest I was a little intimated by the number of pieces and the sub-par instructions. Once I got started though, the assembly was seamless and quite easy to figure out. If you've got experience with puzzles, LEGO, or IKEA this build will not trouble you.The wood is thin and light, matching my expectations. I will tell you, when filled with pots and items, it does get heavy. The wood interlocks into slots and some pieces need to use what I call "keys" that further lock some pieces into place for secure stability. Once fully assembled, the piece is sturdier than I expected., and quite large. You may need to measure the area or space where you plan on putting this organizer before you buy, but definitely try to make it work - not only is it functional, it is pretty.I really appreciate the top shelf made to hold misc things, it's where I put several of my Citadel items, and the two small drawers (the organizer comes with optional drawer dividers) really help put this organizer over the top. Easily worth the money, and when I expand my paint collection there are compatible side-units for even more paint-holding solutions.Highly recommend!

My paints were stacked in a storage bin drawer that was not very accessible. This put them in accessible and organizational reach. It is well optimized - giving access to many paints and supplies with the least amount of space. Looking at other storage options, they were too bulky and cumbersome. Assembly was easy, and if you watch the video on the Amazon product page, is straight forward. I find it sturdy enough. I assembled in another room without glue, assorted the paints into it and then moved the whole thing into my work space. If someone wanted they could glue it together for increased stability. The little figure/item holders do fall apart and need to be glued together. I personally have to add something behind it - currently a piece of cardboard (from the shipping box); because it is up against a window and I don't want the sun ruining the paints and glue.

Overall a decent product with a few flaws I'd encourage the manufacturer to honestly look at as only minor tweaks would be needed.Pros:+ Fairly simple to put together, even though the instructions in one step are quite confusing and need some study.+ "robust" in a "clipped together" way. Robust enough, esp. if you line several of these against each other.+ diverse storage options+ Looks swankyCons:- there are brush holder holes at the top that are, honestly, just silly and I don't think the designer owns a brush. The bottom row are large holes for thicker brushes, the top row are pin pricks for ... toothpicks? Narrow hobby brushes - even my narrowest of narrowest brushes - don't get close to fitting in these holes. They're just ... silly. Need to be a tad larger.- the corner unit BOTTOM paint brushes are silly beyond words, because while there is a row of holes for standard brushes (and a row for tooth picks or something), the brush holder slants forwards ... so the bottom of the brush goes into the unit and backwards ... into, literally, the void. There's nothing back there or below the brush to 'catch' the brushes, so they, quite literally, slide away and out through the hole and into the unit itself. A simple strip of wood back there would serve to "catch" the brush and help keep them inplace. Without it the bottom brush holder is laughable and clearly has never been tested by the designer: They drilled holes, went "good enough", but never noticed the small holes were too small, and the large holes allowed brushes to be gobbled up by their own apparatus. Silly, really.- For the straight paint unit (not corner piece) the main paint holder mechanism are shelves with holes (the "holder") and the shelf underneath then has it's own holes and a shelf for supporting the paint pots above. But the standard paint pot (vallejo, game color, reaper, etc) all end up sitting a little too high in their holes ... like the supporting shelf below is maybe just 5-10mm too high; a little lower and the hole above would hold the paint pot better. As-is, the paint pot tip precariously, like we're on the edge of them spilling out.- the corner unit has a step of clipping together than requires some bending of the wood and faith in it not breaking. I'm heavy handed, and it made even me nervous.Otherwise, they look fine and dandy.

It's sturdy and holds plenty of paint and accessories, but the building process was kind of tricky because of the limited instructions. The Design is kinda bulky, but it will keep your stuff organized.

This is exactly what i was looking for! Fits my paint and brushes, leaves plenty of space to actually work on the minis. Doesnt need glue to assemble, sturdy, and the painting stands are a nice bonus.

This storage solution is well worth the money. It arrived quickly, undamaged, and was easy to assemble.I elected to not glue it together and it is sturdy. I don't plan to move it around a lot so I'm even less inclined to ever glue it together. The only part I did glue together were the small 6 miniature holder/mounts it came with. You have to glue them together in order to use those, but those were a bonus to me and not why I purchased this organizer.Highly recommend if you are looking for a budget option. I will continue to use why I deplete my Citadel paints and convert to other containers and products. For now, this will serve me well.

Easy to put together . Looks great

The rack works great.

Good quality product.

tres pratique

Very happy with it.I use it for Citadel and Army Painter paints. Took a little while to assemble but instructions good and no tools needed. Once assembled it feels sturdy, smells nice too!
