I bought some Kuggis boxes earlier this year. They still sell them. The hack of using a lid and cut down chopping board over the kitchen drawer is a masterstroke.

Love the table vinyl
Agreed. I bought these on the back of your video (thanks!) and they are great.
RLBs are certainly well made. The down side is that their sides are reinforced & hence quite think, so you lose space. Pity the kuggis range has been scaled back.Oops forgot to add link

I emailed a while ago to query the situation re VAT and import taxes. They did provide a discount code, which was very kind, but it was something like €20 which in the grand scheme of things didn't really dent the overall cost. They'd need to be about 50% cheaper to be a realistic option.
Yeah, we started to find that after using them thoroughly on a fortnight camping trip. We found a way by removing the load through hatch. Easier to then grab the whole lot and pull it through.
I had spotted these a while ago and they seemed exactly what I was looking for, but the tax/customs position didn’t look right on checkout (not sure if it’s because I’m in NI). Figured it was too much for a few posh boxes to then have another wedge slapped on top again. Then I saw your video and wavered. A lot. But eventually came to the same conclusion. Which is surprising, cause I am a fool, and …is that a diamond encrusted brandrup ice cream scoop???
Cheaper and a UK stockiest would also be helpful.
Albeit having a holiday to justify some boxes is a bit backwards
I did suggest they contact the two most obvious UK Cali tat stockists. Not sure if they ever did, but by the time UK distributors took their margin I'm not sure they would be any cheaper. I assume the Brexit taxes would still apply one way or the other.
I think I understand. I have the storage pack though, so that's ruled out as the load through hatch is filled with a small under-bench drawer?
No - one of my bugbears, as it's that box where we keep the 'van biscuits' for the kids (and secretly, me...). Same with the lower left one too. The bench sits too far forwards. But that's why Nord did those boxes as two by two, rather than larger singles like on the right hand side.
@Norfolk Jim - I bought one of these to try with the higher lid. I was so pleased with my purchase until it jammed when I opened the right hand cupboard. It was millimetres out. So frustrating! Can you open both cupboards ok?
You can buy these in The Range / Hobbycraft. You can pick them up (p&p free!) if you have a store near you.Oops forgot to add link
