Last week a file cabinet we ordered for comic book storage arrived and I finally made the time yesterday to put my comic books in it.
We'd purchased one like it before. It's about 4-5 feet tall and holds 8 long boxes. The new one was half that size and holds 4 long boxes. Or does it?
Although the new one is the same series, same color, same everything as far as we could tell (minus two drawers), something is clearly different. In both the realm of length and width, the long boxes were a tight fit in the original cabinet, and wouldn't quite make it with the new one. The comics also stand a little too high to close the drawers.
Alternatives all cost more than we want to pay, so after an afternoon of creative thinking, a box cutter, four bookends and some tape, I found a solution.
Not my idea of a fun Sunday afternoon, but at least growing stacks of comics are no longer infesting my room.
