    Very nice. When you start filling it up it does start to get a little heavy

    I read quite a few reviews before I purchased this item. Others had concerns that the dies do not stay put. I found that this is the perfect solution. I bought 9 additional magnetic sheets. All dies stay put...detailed fancy dies, large to small concentric sets. Only one die that is seriously bent moves a bit. My co-crafters admired mine so much they also purchased the bin and extra sheets. Hope this helps.

    I cant say enough good things about this die storage bin! My bin currently holds MORE than 21 magnetic sheets with thin dies. Mostly it contains the ARTBIN magnetic sheets, but I also have used a few thinner magnetic sheets. My dies are basically all for A2 cards and have no problem with them sticking, although I do keep the bin flat on my large work table. While a bit heavy if I were to carry it around, that is not my intent as I want them close at hand to use, so the bin remains on my work table (however, if I wanted to carry it to another room or work area, even with the arthritis in my hands and wrists, it is NOT overwhelmingly heavy that I cannot carry it). The magnet sheets that were in the bin when I received it were a bit curled, but I just put those on the bottom of the bin and others I bought additionally on top and found the weight flattened out the curls. I have my dies sorted on the magnetic sheets in the bin by subject; i.e. all skinny border dies together, all animals together, etc. My collection is quite large, so I am finding this the most efficient way to store and see what I have at a glance. I have my holiday dies stored on regular magnetic sheets at this time and put in photo storage boxes on the closet shelf; the regular magnetic sheets I bought from Home Depot... they come three to a pack and are normally used for putting over registers (heating/air conditioning)... I cut them in half and they fit in the ARTBIN or in the photo boxes. I do want to get a couple more of the ARTBINs to have on my work table, I have many more dies I want to get out of their packaging!

    Perfect for storing my metal dies. I also ordered enough magnetic sheets to fill it up. Closing sliding mechanism is very good. This isnt going to flip open accidently. Well designed. With all sheets in the case it is heavy. May buy another and only put 1/2 the sheets in it.

    I have dies from a variety of companies: Spellbinders, Die-Namics, Memory Box, Cherry Lynn, Sizzix, etc. I had been storing them all in a large bin, trying to keep them stuck to their original packaging, but that was becoming a problem I had tried to devise my own system -- but couldnt find the right size cards/etc. to use for the backing. Finally found these, and decided to give them a try. So far, theyre working reasonably well. Almost all my dies are smaller: no larger than what would fit on an A2 (4.25 x 5.5) card, so I havent run into any issues with larger dies since I dont own any. I can store two sets of Spellbinders Nestabilities on each sheet, but I do have to be careful when flipping through the sheets; otherwise, one or more of the larger ones will pop loose. Also, one brand of dies that I use uses clear plastic on some of their dies (particularly the banner dies) so you can see through them to line up your die with a stamped sentiment or whatever, and this plastic interferes with the stick-ability from a magent standpoint. I may just remove the plastic, since it really serves no useful purpose. Some have mentioned the curling -- and Ive found this in several of the magnetic sheets, but not all of them. Not sure what causes it, but for now, Im using those for my smaller dies, and using the really flat sheets for my larger dies. Also, Ive had some luck putting a curled sheet between two heavy-weight cookie sheets, placing a few books under the stack and then piling a bunch of books on the top sheet, and leaving it there for a few days (the sandwich from the bottom up would be: couple of books, cookie sheet, magnetic sheet, cookie sheet, bunch of books) -- really seems to flatten it out. Anyway, this is my storage choice for metal dies for now, until/unless something better comes along. Ive been able to find the refill pages cheaper elsewhere, but Amazons price on the case is the best Ive found so far.

    I like this storage feature a lot. My only critique is that I wish it were a little larger and the magnetic sheets were a little larger. Other than that - happy with it.
