One of the younger scions of the BigRedBat clan has laid claim to the room where I've traditionally stored my legions. Accordingly, as part of a negotiated withdrawl, it was agreed that I could put a storage cabinet in another room. I found a fantastic one at Ikea; the Bergsbo. My son and I assembled it today, and this afternoon my troops marched to their new home with banners flying and flautists piping.
What excites me about the Bergsbo cabinet is that has the perfect dimensions to take an unfeasibly large number of the "Really Useful Boxes" in which I store all my minis., with almost no wasted space. It is deep, and all the shelves are adjustable. In (and above) the cabinet are no less than 68 storage boxes, of various sizes, containing roughly 3000 28mm miniatures and almost all my terrain.

That’s...frighteningly organised. In truth I'm envious. My stuff is is boxes of various sizes all round the house. Now and again I have a 'tidy up' to placate the good wife but its a lost cause... until the kids leave home. Then I get a spare room!
Hi BigLee, will the kids ever leave home, what with the credit crunch and all? May have some time to wait for that spare room!
What became of the legion's original home?!
I'm eventually going to need some of those boxes. I've worked out my display cabinet (3 shelves) only holds about 2500 WAB points of troops so that means my completed Macedonians and Romans will fill it all (and more!)
Productive Sundays are my favourite kind of Sundays! Nice team work. I've just helped my Dad with the food shopping and I'm 20! I may never completely leave home...
Consul.
Hi Consul, my middle son is taking the room formerly known as the "computer room"; in theory today, but the move is looking like a big job.
very nice.
Nice. Now where's that Ikea book... :-)
Wow; that is nice and the amazing thing is the storage boxes fit in there perfectly. I'm sure you pre-measured this before buying the cabinet - looks great. Dean
Hi Dean, yes I took a couple of boxes along to the store, and tried all the bookcases and cupboards until I found the one that worked!
I know what i want for xmas! And BigLee, don't get too excited and throw out those boxes, the little buggers keep on coming back these days it seems lol.
