I still recommend these for use as a good work surface for the occasional bit of guitar work. I've got a sheet of cork on top of mine to protect the guitars' finish and it has plenty of storage just where you'd want it for small tools, with those drawers.

They look cool, my only fear with them, is accidentally knocking them and sending everything in them to the four corners of whatever room you're working in. I use small food containers with sealable lids - that way, it's just the container you need to pick up.

^^ Film canisters, marmalade jars, purpose made wood bowls.... It really doesn´t matter WHAT you use, as long as you have some way of organizing parts and have enough of them to accomodate all current projects. Fixable lids are nice, but actually cost unnecessary time for no tangible benefit if you don´t need to keep the parts directly at the workspace but can keep them just slightly outside of the actual area. A small shelf just beyond arms reach can be worth it´s weight in gold.
I use an old pewter Marlboro ashtray for whatever process is currently on the bench, and labeled, appropriately sized boxes and bags for everything "in the pipeline"... But my head is still working in an actual workshop and not a sofa with a coffee table :laugh2:
