Ink and Ribbon Storage

My biggest challenge in my new space is storing my ink.  I own the Making Memories wall unit, but after a nightmare experience trying to hang it on Monday evening ("I found a stud!", "Crap, that's not a stud after all!", "How many holes ARE you going to put into the wall?"), we ended up with a crack in the unit after trying to move the metal hanging brackets on it.  I've got it drying with Gorilla Glue now, but decided I'd rather hang pictures of some of my favorite musicians on the nails instead.  On the way home from work yesterday, I decided to stop into Michael's and see if they had any cheap storage solutions that were smaller in scale than the wall unit.  I don't want to pull a ton of stuff in it because I'd have to pack it all up when I go to a retreat.  I stumbled on these on clearance for $10 and grabbed 2.  They're 7.5" thick, so they stand up on their own really well, freeing up wall space for pictures.  You can see where I've put my ink in it and the bins are full as well.  When I tackle my ribbon, I'll add spools to the top.
