This box (Plano 3600 Size Prolatch) has between 6 and 21 compartments (36 if you make your own dividers or take from another box).

This is a flat bottomed box with six vertical compartments built in. It comes with 15 movable subdividers, so without ransacking another box you can have 21 compartments. (6+15=21). Each compartment can, in theory, be subdivided into 6 equal sections (with an exception for four at the front). Four of the compartments at the front are a little smaller as they are irregular to accommodate the latch. If you had enough dividers, say hijacked from other boxes, you could have 36 sections.

Lid and base are molded separately with a snap together hinge. The catches snap crisply, closing the box easily and securely. (I have three Plano boxes that I have been using for a while now with these latches and I love the latches.) Dividers and sub-dividers meet the lid flush so the box can be turned upside down, sideways, shaken and still keep the compartments sorted.

The 1-11/16" width of the 6 compartments holds floss cards fine but where the division supports are is not wide enough for them. Some other Plano boxes have curved bottoms in the compartments that make retrieving tiny things like beads (or Lego people's tools) easier. This box does not have that so tiny items like beads are hard to slide out.

All that said... I might in a pinch use this for my floss box but I have two already that are better for that. I would not use it for my beads. It works very well at sorting the little people in my sons' Lego collection. I am not disappointed in this box but I will probably be picking up more of the Creative Options/Plano 2-3630-80 Deep Utility Box and Creative Options Utility Organizer 2-3650-80. If you need a box with a lot of subdivisions this may be the box for you.

This is the best product I have found to store the bobbins of cross stitch floss. They line up neatly, and the top keeps them in place. It can contain all the colors for an entire project and makes them viewable for for easy cataloging. The price is right and they are light, durable, and efficient. Forget the binder pages, they simply don't work.

This is a fine little plastic organizer, however, I was expecting it to be 3 inches deep, as listed in the description. It is not. It is about 1.75 inches deep at best. I may keep it anyways, as it was only $5 and I can likely find a good use for it, but it will not work for the intended purpose unfortunately, which was storing some of my sons' larger playmobil pieces.

I wanted a way to keep matching necklaces, bracelets, and earrings together so I could find them to wear to work without pawing through my several boxes, the hanging chain necklaces, etc. or another container I had tried. This worked perfectly. An easy solution.

This is the perfect solution to store my zillion earrings. I just put in all the dividers and stored my earrings in the different compartments. Since this is transparent, it makes it all the more easier for me to take out the earrings right off without having to search for it for a few minutes. Great stuff for the price.

I know this is a fishing tackle box, but I'm going to use it for jewelry. It comes with 15 movable dividers, but the box is capable of 30 one inch compartments. I wrote to the company, and they graciously are sending an additional set of dividers at no charge. I think the box is going to work well for jewelry, because it's transparent. It also locks very securely, so I think it would be great for travel. Then, I found pre-cut, 1" square paper anti tarnish strips, so I'm going to use those in the box as well for any silver items. I think the strips here on Amazon. Bottom line? I got just the jewelry box I wanted for about $12.00 -- much less expensive than a traditional one, and quite a bit more functional.

Bought this for my husband. Item is per described, provides ample storage space with its adjustable dividers. Thank you for the quick shipping

This one is much better than the previous ones i'd ordered. The only problem with this is that there are only enough dividers for half of the available divisions. 15 dividers provided out of the possible 30. Grrr, now I can't find individual dividers.

I bought this box to store my embroidery floss in. The plastic floss bobbins fit perfectly. Bonus points for a label that peeled right off without leaving a sticky mess. If I fill this one up, I will definitely buy another.

oddly enough i use it to store my modeling tools for Warhammer stuff. its definitely not optimal for this, but the versatility of it alone makes it awesome, im always changing the format around when i need more space for one thing and less space for another. Keeps all my paints, knives, brushes, glues, and small bits nicely sorted. my only complaint as that it could be a bit bigger, and sometimes its not intuitive how to put the dividers in, but thats really a non issue. This product works great
