This is a Kallax unit from IKEA. It’s a great product, It’s good value, light and strong and comes in lots of different sizes.

Lots of gamers have them already for storing hobby stuff. They are great for books, board games and terrain.

At Sally 4^th, we’ve been making storage solutions for miniatures for over a decade so I looked at the Kallax Cubes and thought, wouldn’t it be great if we could store miniatures in it too.

I wanted a system that would be flexible, scalable, look good and would speed up setting up and putting away a miniatures game.

After a lot of thought I came up with a simple and effective system to store miniatures in a Kallax Cube that uses two components, drawers and draw runners. The drawer runners are glued to the inside of the cube. Each cube can now take up to five drawers full of miniatures.

The drawers have been designed super strong. My experience of working with MDF and storing miniatures told me that a simple slide out shelf would warp over time, especially if it was holding heavy, metal miniatures, so I designed a drawer with sides that brace and give rigidity and prevent warping. The front side is clear so that you can see what figures are inside and keep the miniatures protected from dust and other hazards. . Each drawer can hold 180 miniatures on 25mm bases.

Each cube can hold up to five drawers, so a cubes worth of storage would hold up to 900 miniatures on 25mm bases.

Kallax units come in all shapes and sizes, up to four cubes high. A four cube unit with 20 drawers could hold up to 3,600 miniatures on 25mm bases.

The biggest Kallax Unit that IKEA makes has sixteen cubes. That would hold a whooping 14,400 miniatures on 25mm bases.

However, the beauty of the system is it’s flexibility. You don’t need to fill it with miniatures, you can mix and match according to your changing needs.

Maybe you are a board gamer and you have a couple of board games with miniatures such as Zombicide or Dungeon Saga and you’d like to be able to store the miniatures and the game box in a single cube?

You’d have everything together and would speed up set up and put away by carrying the drawer full of miniatures straight to the table.

The standard drawers are 67mm high. My experience of many years of selling trays to fit inside Really Useful Boxes showed that this was the most popular sized tray, and most 28mm miniatures will fit inside it nicely.

However, there are always some exceptions, like Cavalry with lances up or monsters and war machines. To cater for this we have designed a double height drawer.

We don’t need to limit ourselves to storing miniatures. The drawers are also great for storing small terrain items such as hedges, walls and scatter terrain.

We can mix and match terrain storage in a cube, maybe just having two or three drawers at the top of the cube, leaving room for larger terrain items underneath.

The benefits of Sally 4^th’s K-Cube products are flexibility, high capacity, safe storage and ease of set up and pack away.
