You might go to one of the big outlet stores like Home Depot, Sears, Lowes and look at their toolbox selection. I found a gray steel frame unit approximately 2 ft high by 2 ft wide by 6 in deep. The one I purchased has plastic drawers that slide out, lots of them. The unit I purchased has drawers just deep enough to allow my paint bottles to store in the upright position. I have put color dots on the drawers to indicate what colors are where, the the darned thing holds a grundle of bottles. You ask about keeping lids free and easy to remove. All I do is use a wipe cloth to wipe out the lid and the top edge of the bottle. Works very well. I also store my paint bottles standing on their lids, seems to keep air out and keeps the paint from drying in the bottle. My storage unit is big enough to hold a bunch of other stuff as well, keeping it organized. Nice to find what you are looking for quickly. My storage unit sits on the back edge of my hobby/craft desk against the wall. Easy to reach when needed, never in the way otherwise. Hope this is of some help. I am certain other modellers have equally good, or better, suggestions. Tom
