I was wondering how well this might work to store tubes and jars of acrylic paints and mediums? Anyone tried this successfully?

It would be great to hold the paints and mediums. Since I'm a makeup artist, I use this for all my makeup and supplies. It's very durable and it's fits in any room. Hope this helps.

I build computers and i use mine to store all sorts of computer parts & tools. I bought mine a few months back and simply love it, everything is nice and organized.As far as storing acrylic paints and mediums, Why not? I don't see a problem with it just as the jars are small. i lined up my drawers with a rubber mat to prevent stuff from scratching the plastic and protecting it from spills. there are so many possibilities for this drawer i would recommend it.

It'd be perfect, as long as jars are not too high (drawers are about 2 3/4" deep.) Tubes of paint....no problem!

I have not tried this, but the drawers are less flimsy than Sterilite brand. I have before stored acrylic paints (not jars though), the small plastic containers, in a larger Sterilite bottom drawer and they've held them fine.

I love these storage and showcase pieces, they would be great for baskets w/DVD's they seem to be strong enough. I just don't know they would be strong enough for a 10 gallon fish tank, they seem to be strong enough, they are very sturdy, well constructed and made of wood. I hope this helps, I love them for my displayed knick knacks and personal statues and stuff on top. I also put them together myself, love them, Diane

I bought it for storing the Tamiya 10ml (1/3 oz) model paints. It works perfectly for that, holding 14 jars per row. Model Master 14.7 ml, Testors, and Humbrol tins all fit fine as well. The larger (23ml) Tamiya paints do not fit.

Yes, definitely! I used mine to store markers, using the clear cases as shelves. Hope this helps!

I use my paint cups in a classroom and have had no trouble with paint drying out. I only cover the cups during the weekend and holidays when there is no school. I am not sure about long term storage, but I would not store paint in the cups as a permanent storage because they are not meant for that use.

Yes, used it a few times with moderate success. The small plastic connecting tubes were difficult to keep together. Finally, I lost one of the tubes and just quit using it altogether.

I did not use these for paint. I use them to store beads and they work very well for very small beads but they were much smaller than I anticipated. They wouldn't hold much paint I don't think. They were very tiny. But as I mentioned, I didn't get them for paint. I think if it was me, I would go a size bigger.

I actually think it would work much better for nail polish than spices to be honest. It would need to be flush against the wall since there is no back bar, but yes, I would say it is good for nail polish and would hold maybe 24-30 bottles depending on shape and size.

I'm sure it's not PET, same for polypropylene, polycarbonate is a possibility but the clarity seems a bit better than that, not to mention the price is a tad more reasonable. I'm a carpenter and not a chemist so this is only a guess - I'm going with Acrylic, based only on clarity and price. One thing to keep in mind is that I use these jars to store meds for a cat who might only live another six months so I'm not worried about contaminants. If you're young enough to be worried about out gassing, BPA or other possible plastic corruption to foodstuffs then store them in glass only.

Just a thought but - the lid that closes the cups is a snap on one and the non-spill top is a nice fit screw on. I don't think a closed one (with both lids) would be great for long term storage of paint since it probably is not air tight. But you could put a cork in the hole in the concave non-spill lid and shake to mix paint without getting paint all over the snap on lid. I really don't think these cups would work all that great for long term paint storage. Just a thought.

I think it can hold a good amount of creams but some of the spaces are pretty small. It depends on how big your bottles are.

I actually use this for holding nail polish bottles. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would save my money. This jar, although the size is great, arrived and not able to open it. I'd go with the glass ones that they have on Amazon. They were a good price each, arrived on time, AND the large sizes will easily allow things to be stored. The only thing is those do not have the large wide opening. Your other option would be to get gallon sized ziplock bag, and put as much flour in it as you could. That would probably serve the purpose and cost a whole lot less money for you.

~hello maria: in my opinion... it is too small. i bought the 13½ " by 10" stack and i tried to use the first layer for nail polishes and the 2nd layer for nail tools & supplies, but it did not work. the items inside were too heavy. my containers are 4" tall including the lid. this plastic containers are not made for storing heavy items. so instead i used them to store fabrics and light items. may i suggest something? i end up going to the etsy.com site and ordered a cute antique samsonite carry on for $20.00 and it is perfect for storing all my nail polishes and the nail supplies.gigi s. ~hello maria: in my opinion... it is too small. i bought the 13½ " by 10" stack and i tried to use the first layer for nail polishes and the 2nd layer for nail tools & supplies, but it did not work. the items inside were too heavy. my containers are 4" tall including the lid. this plastic containers are not made for storing heavy items. so instead i used them to store fabrics and light items. may i suggest something? i end up going to the etsy.com site and ordered a cute antique samsonite carry on for $20.00 and it is perfect for storing all my nail polishes and the nail... » Read More ~hello maria: in my opinion... it is too small. i bought the 13½ " by 10" stack and i tried to use the first layer for nail polishes and the 2nd layer for nail tools & supplies, but it did not work. the items inside were too heavy. my containers are 4" tall including the lid. this plastic containers are not made for storing heavy items. so instead i used them to store fabrics and light items. may i suggest something? i end up going to the etsy.com site and ordered a cute antique samsonite carry on for $20.00 and it is perfect for storing all my nail polishes and the nail supplies.gigi s. « Show Less

Yes , you could use for oil or acrylic , they are very shallow and does not hold large quantity .......pretty standard for palette seprators

Not if you wish to store the paint for a long time, these will likely let the paint dry out as there is no air tight seal. Also, these would hold an incredible small amount of paint... BUT maybe if you put a little plastic wrap over the top before you screw the lid on, it would keep the paint a bit better :)

I bought these to store paint mixed with a paint conditioner and they were perfect. I ordered the lids separately (for this particular container) and they sealed tight. They were exactly what I needed.
