The best grid boxes, compared.
Top pick: WYIPOLZI 10-pack, 28 grids Best value: Opret 4-pack, 15 grids – About £7.99 for four boxes, 4.4 from 853. About 2 cm high, and the 6 tons line is not a load rating. Updated October 2026.
A grid box is a small lidded container split into cells so beads, findings, screws, hooks or similar pieces stay apart. On amazon.co.uk the usual searches are bead storage box, jewellery organiser and small parts organiser. You tell a suitable one apart by the outer size in centimetres, whether the dividers move, whether you get one deeper box or a multipack of flat trays, and whether the body is clear plastic or a velvet tray with a glass lid. If the compartment count disagrees with the title, plan for the less convenient figure until the parcel arrives. Closure and a stated water line are the other stable checks. A food-contact mark matters only when the listing is sold for snacks. Depth, divider type and pack count are set out in the [grid box buying guide](/hub/diy-supplies/grid-box/sub/grid-box-buying-guide). In Great Britain a consumer box must be safe in normal use. Loose dividers remain a choking risk around small children. Polypropylene on a bullet is not a food-contact approval, and water resistant is not watertight.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you storing?
WYIPOLZI is listed at about £14.99 as ten clear boxes, 28 grids each, with label stickers and a funnel. The star line is 5.0 from 3 reviews. The one UK text in the file says the boxes are right for medication, which is one person's use and not a medical claim on the listing. The printed dimensions fight a ten-box, 280-compartment claim, so that centimetre line is not used as a measurement. The page says the lids are lockable and water resistant, and that rows can be detached. The score of 55 does not treat 5.0 from three reviews as a larger survey, and water resistant is not watertight.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want labels and a funnel in the pack, and you will measure the boxes before you trust the count of ten.
Less suitable: You need a size line that can describe ten boxes, or more than three reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
What is in the pack?
Ten clear boxes, each with 28 grids in 7 rows by 4 columns, plus label stickers and a funnel. The compartment attribute says 280. Beads are a use, not an included item.
What do the reviews say?
The star line is 5.0 from 3. One UK review is stored, and it says the boxes are right for medication. That is one person's use. The listing does not state a medical purpose.
Does the size line match ten boxes?
The printed centimetres fight a claim of 10 boxes and 280 compartments, so that line is not used as a measurement. The weight is printed as 1.4 kg. The water-resistance line says water resistant, and the lock type says lockable.
The Dmnnlp case is about £14.99, acrylic and velvet, 24 × 14.5 × 11 cm, with three drawers and 54 grids in the title. The star line is 4.8 from 47 reviews. UK reviews talk about rocks, fossils, gemstones and jewellery. One UK review says all three drawers use the same grid size and marks it down for larger stones. Another says the separators come out so a bigger crystal can have a bigger section. The listing does not print a cell size in centimetres, and closure and water resistance are unstated. The score of 78 is a display case for stones and small jewellery, not a clear tray you can see through from above in a toolbox.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are showing stones, fossils or small jewellery in drawers, and you can accept one grid size unless you lift a separator.
Less suitable: You need a stated cell in centimetres, or a clear box for screws and beads you are using.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a flat bead box?
No. It is a three-drawer case, 54 grids in the title, 24 × 14.5 × 11 cm, acrylic and velvet. UK reviews use it for rocks, fossils, gemstones and jewellery.
Are the grids all one size?
One UK review says all three drawers use the same grid size, and marks it down for larger stones. Another says the separators come out so a bigger crystal can have a bigger section.
Does the listing give a cell size?
No. Closure and water resistance are also unstated. The star line is 4.8 from 47. The best-sellers rank sits in racks and displays.
LILUONGS is about £18.99 for two outer cases, 60 small polypropylene inner boxes and two sticker sheets. Each inner box is 5.6 × 5.6 × 2.1 cm, and the outer is 21.8 × 18.5 × 6 cm. The star line is 4.7 from 56 reviews. UK texts mention craft beads and diamond-painting drills moved into labelled cells. Those UK texts do not repeat a crack or a failed latch. The title says 30 grids and the attribute says 60 compartments, and the printed weight of 100 g is not a scale check. Some reviews in the file are not from the UK. The score of 69 is the labelled inner-box set when every colour needs its own lid. About £18.99 is still a craft organiser, not a tool chest.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a separate lidded pot and a sticker for each bead or drill colour.
Less suitable: You need one deep tray, a weight you can trust, or a tool chest.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this one tray with 30 holes?
No. The bullet lists two large outer boxes, 60 small inner boxes and two sticker sheets. Each inner box is 5.6 × 5.6 × 2.1 cm. The title says 30 grids. The attribute says 60 compartments.
What do UK reviews mention?
Craft beads, a second purchase, a gift, and diamond-painting drills moved into labelled cells. The UK texts read for this note do not repeat a crack or a failed latch. The star line is 4.7 from 56. Some reviews in the file are not from the UK.
What is the weight line?
100 g is printed for the 2-pack. That is the attribute, not a scale check in this file. Material in the bullet is PP. The water-resistance line says water resistant. Beads are not included.
Hejo is two 36-grid polypropylene boxes at about £9.99, printed as 27.6 × 17.8 × 4.5 cm, with a side buckle and removable grids. The star line is 4.6 from 20 reviews. The stored file holds four review texts. One is from the United Kingdom and calls it good quality for the price. The other three are from Germany, so they are not UK experience. The listing is sold as a snack box and also names jewellery, makeup, stationery and electronic parts. The bullet says you can rinse it and must not put it in a dishwasher, and this capture has no food-contact mark. The score of 67 does not make the box food-safe.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want two taller 36-grid craft boxes and you will ignore the snack wording until a food-contact mark is on the page.
Less suitable: You need several UK reviews, or a container declared for food.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this marked as food-contact safe?
Not in this capture. The recommended use is snacks, and the bullet says you can rinse it and must not dishwasher-wash it. There is no food-contact symbol and no declaration of compliance in the file.
How many UK reviews are stored?
The star line is 4.6 from 20. The saved listing holds four review texts. One is from the United Kingdom and calls it good quality for the price. The other three are from Germany and are not UK experience.
What else does the bullet say it holds?
Besides snacks, the bullets name jewellery, makeup, stationery and electronic parts. The outer size is 27.6 × 17.8 × 4.5 cm. Closure is a buckle. The material attribute is polypropylene.
The Frebeauty tray is about £15.98, 24.1 × 35.1 × 5.1 cm and 990 g, with a glass lid, two metal clasps and adjustable grids. The star line is 4.5 from 1,054 reviews, the second-largest file in this set. The bullet says composite board wrapped in velvet, with a satin inner line, not solid wood. The drawer attribute says 35, which matches the grid count rather than a stack of drawers, and the mounting type says dashboard, which the listing does not explain. One UK review calls the covering almost paper-like and says the tray arrived squashed. Other reviews praise it as a display piece. The score of 84 is that review file on a glass-lid tray, not a working parts box. It is a poor place for screws, or for seed beads you tip and refill.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want rings or brooches on show under glass, and you will check the tray for crush damage when it arrives.
Less suitable: You are sorting seed beads, drills, or oily screws.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the frame wood?
The bullet says composite board wrapped in velvet, with a satin inner line. It does not say solid wood. The lid is clear glass with two metal clasps.
Does it have 35 drawers?
The drawer attribute says 35. That matches the grid count, not a stack of 35 drawers. Size is 24.1 × 35.1 × 5.1 cm and 990 g. Dividers move for mixed jewellery.
What is the harsh UK review?
One UK review calls the covering almost paper-like and says the tray arrived squashed and falling apart. The star line is still 4.5 from 1,054. Other reviews praise it as a display piece. Mounting type on the page says dashboard, which the listing does not explain.
The Gospire box is about £8.99, about 26.2 × 15.5 × 5.5 cm, with cells about 5.2 × 5.2 × 5.5 cm. That is the deepest clear cell in this capture, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.4 from 1,941 reviews, the largest file here. UK reviews mention guitar picks, small Lego pieces and minifigures, and fishing tackle. The title says 15 grids and the compartment attribute says 12. One UK review says a box was broken, and another describes a large crack in the bottom. The score of 91 is that review file plus the stated cell depth, not a lab test. It is the top pick for light pieces that need a cell about 5 cm deep.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one deeper clear box for light pieces such as minifigures or picks, and you can live with 15 grids on the title and 12 on the attribute.
Less suitable: You need the compartment count to match before it arrives, or you are storing screws the way a parts cabinet would.
Specifications
Common questions
Is it 15 grids or 12?
The title and the colour line say 15 grids and one piece. The compartment attribute says 12. Both are printed. The bullet cell is about 5.2 × 5.2 × 5.5 cm, in a box about 26.2 × 15.5 × 5.5 cm.
What do UK reviews use it for?
Guitar picks, small Lego pieces and minifigures, and fishing tackle appear in UK reviews. One review likes curved cell bottoms. The star line is 4.4 from 1,941.
Did any review describe damage?
Yes. One UK review says one of four boxes was broken. Another says a box arrived with a large crack in the bottom. The colour line says one piece, so a four-box parcel is not what that line describes.
Opret is four polypropylene boxes at about £7.99, each 17 × 9.5 × 2 cm, with cells from about 3.2 × 3 × 2 cm because the length changes and the width stays fixed. The star line is 4.4 from 853 reviews. The bullet says the boxes are small, and UK reviews often say they were smaller than expected and call the plastic thin. The same bullet says the divider buttons can come off and be refitted. A capacity attribute of 6 tons sits on a 190 g craft box and is not a load rating. The score of 83 makes it the best value when you want four flat trays for beads and you have measured a cell. It is a poor match for ordinary workshop screws.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want four shallow bead trays at about £7.99 and you already know a 2 cm cell is enough.
Less suitable: You need a deeper parts box, or you would treat the 6 tons line as a strength claim.
Specifications
Common questions
How small is one box?
The bullet says 17 × 9.5 × 2 cm, and that the boxes are small. A cell runs from about 3.2 × 3 × 2 cm, with the width fixed and the length changing. UK reviews often say they were smaller than expected.
What if a divider button comes off?
The bullet says the buttons are removable and can be reattached. That is a listing note, not a guarantee that every button survives a drop.
Is the capacity 6 tons?
That figure is on the capacity attribute. It does not match a 190 g craft box. Do not use it as a load rating. The material bullet says PP. The water-resistance line says not water resistant.
The QJKEJI pack is three clear boxes at about £5.79, printed as 17.5 × 10 × 2.3 cm and 160 g, with a snap lock. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.4 from 374 reviews. A UK review says some dividers come out and were used for drill bits, and another mentions miniature screws. The title also says bolts and a snack box, and this capture has no food-contact mark. One UK review says the printed size was correct and that the boxes were still smaller than pictured. Another says the dividers are slightly awkward until the box is full. The score of 84 is a low price for three trays UK texts used for bits. The 2.3 cm height is the limit when the piece stands taller than the cell. It does not take the value award: fewer boxes and a smaller review file than the four-pack at 83.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want three shallow trays for miniature screws or drill bits and you have checked that 2.3 cm is enough.
Less suitable: You need a cell deeper than 2.3 cm, or a box with a food-contact mark.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the compartments be changed?
The special-features line says removable compartment, and the title says adjustable dividers. A UK review says some dividers come out and were used for drill bits. Another says the dividers are slightly awkward until the box is full.
What size is printed?
17.5 × 10 × 2.3 cm, and 160 g, for a pack of three. One UK review says that size was correct and that the boxes were still smaller than the buyer had pictured.
Does the page say it is for screws?
The recommended-uses line includes hand tools and small materials. The title includes bolts. UK reviews mention miniature screws and drill bits. The page also says it is not water resistant. There is no food-contact mark.
LAifu is two boxes at about £8.49. The bullet says 18.5 × 12.5 × 4.5 cm and that you can make 2 to 8 compartments, while the attribute says 24 compartments and 19.8 × 13.7 × 3.8 cm. The star line is 4.2 from 95 reviews. Two UK reviews say the boxes were smaller than the picture and were returned, and one says a box arrived broken. The listing claims two snap latches, a hinged lid and polypropylene. A storage-volume line of 7.8 litres sits beside 13.8 cubic inches, so those figures do not describe one measured interior. The score of 63 is cut for that clash. The extra height over a 2 cm tray is useful only if the parcel matches a size line you picked before you paid.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a taller pair of cases than a 2 cm tray, and you will measure them against one size line on arrival.
Less suitable: You need the page to agree on 8 or 24 compartments before you buy.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this an 8-grid box or a 24-compartment box?
The title and the bullet talk about 8 grids, and about making 2 to 8 compartments. The compartment attribute says 24. The colour line says 2 pcs, 8 grid. Those lines are all in the capture.
Which size line should you read?
The bullet says 18.5 × 12.5 × 4.5 cm, with a grid of about 5.7 × 4.5 × 4.1 cm. The attribute says 19.8 × 13.7 × 3.8 cm. Two UK reviews say the boxes were smaller than the picture and were returned.
What broke in a review?
One UK review says one box arrived broken and was returned. The listing says two snap latches and that it is not water resistant.
The Doukesh listing is two clear boxes at about £4.99. The bullet size is 17 × 10 × 2.3 cm, with each grid about 3.5 × 3 × 2.2 cm. Across 70 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.0. One UK review bought the boxes for small screws and says they would not close properly and the catch fell apart. Another review, about buttons, says the boxes feel sturdy enough. Adjustable dividers are not stated. The attribute prints 10 × 2 × 17 cm, which is not the same figure as the bullet. The score of 70 is the lowest checkout in this set, cut for that size clash and for the failed catch. It is the reason not to carry screws in it.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want two cheap clear trays for buttons or similar light pieces, and you will check the catch before you rely on it.
Less suitable: You are sorting screws that need the latch to stay shut, or you need dividers the listing says will move.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this listing say the dividers come out?
No. The bullet says each compartment snaps shut. Adjustable dividers are not stated. The size in the bullet is 17 × 10 × 2.3 cm, with each grid about 3.5 × 3 × 2.2 cm.
What did a UK review say about screws?
One review bought the boxes for small screws. It says they would not close properly and the catch fell apart. Another review, about buttons, says the boxes feel sturdy enough.
Is the printed size one figure?
No. The attribute line is 10 × 2 × 17 cm. The bullet is 17 × 10 × 2.3 cm. The listing also says no assembly is required, and that it is not water resistant.
JAPCHET is four clear boxes at about £12.39, printed as 27 × 17 × 4.1 cm, with the pack weight at 1.04 kg. The included line says adjustable dividers and a storage box with a lid. The amazon.co.uk capture has no customer-review line and no review text, so there is no star rating to quote. Closure type and water resistance are not stated. The recommended-uses line names art and craft supplies, beads, jewellery, small items and sewing accessories. The score of 23 is that description alone. It stays at the bottom of this comparison until a UK review file exists.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already accept an unreviewed description and you only need the printed size and a four-box count.
Less suitable: You want UK reviews, a named latch, or a water-resistance line before you pay.
Specifications
Common questions
Are there reviews in the capture?
No. There is no customer-review line and no review text. The price in the capture is about £12.39 for four boxes.
What is included?
The included-components line says adjustable dividers and a storage box with a lid. Size is 27 × 17 × 4.1 cm. Weight is 1.04 kg. Material is plastic. Closure type is not stated.
What is it for, on the listing?
The recommended-uses line says art and craft supplies, bead organisation, jewellery, small items and sewing accessories. It does not state a water-resistance claim.
Shelf prices, stars and review notes are the amazon.co.uk snapshot of 19 October 2026 for these eleven listings. This is not a lab test of latch strength, cell size or water resistance. The score adds the star line, the size of the review file, whether the listing agrees with itself, what the stored reviews say, and whether a cell depth is printed. The highest score is the top pick. Best value is a different listing: four shallow boxes with a large review file, not the same box as the top pick.
Star line
29%Amazon.co.uk stars are scaled, with 5.0 at the top of this block and a missing star line at zero. A high average from three reviews does not outrank a slightly lower average from a much larger file on its own.
Review sample
24%The stored amazon.co.uk count adds more when the file is large. Five hundred reviews or more sit at the top of this block. A missing review line adds nothing.
Listing clarity
24%A compartment count, size, weight or capacity line that fights another line on the same page is cut. A snack or medicine use with no food-contact mark is cut. An unstated closure or water line is cut.
Review comments
12%Stored texts that name a use or a fault count. Texts from outside the United Kingdom are not treated as British experience. A reported latch failure, crack or awkward divider is cut.
Stated depth
11%A clear cell printed at about 5.5 cm scores at the top of this block. A flat tray about 2 cm scores less. A size line that fights the pack is not used as a measurement.
You are choosing a small lidded box so beads, findings, screws or similar pieces stay apart. The eleven amazon.co.uk listings captured on 19 October 2026 run from about £4.99 to about £18.99. Flat trays, one deeper clear box, inner-box sets and display cases are different bodies. The top pick is the deeper clear cell with the largest review file. Best value is four shallow boxes when you already know a 2 cm cell is enough.
A grid box in this comparison is a small lidded container split into cells. The job is to keep beads, findings, screws, hooks or similar pieces apart. On amazon.co.uk the usual searches are bead storage box, jewellery organiser and small parts organiser. Quality here is the review file in the 19 October 2026 capture, not a measured latch or a water test. Flat adjustable plastic boxes, often named polypropylene, are about 2 to 4.5 cm high and sold in twos, threes or fours.
Fifteen grids in this capture covers both a tray about 2 cm high and a cell about 5.5 cm deep. Read the centimetres, then the count.
If the title and the compartment attribute disagree, plan for the less convenient figure. A 6 tons line on a craft box is not a load rating.
Screws do not belong in a velvet tray. A snack title is not a food-contact mark. Reviews from outside the United Kingdom are not British experience.
The first check is the job. Seed beads and diamond-painting drills want many small clear cells, and a label helps when every colour has its own pot. Jewellery and stones on show want a glass lid or drawers, not a tray you tip into a toolbox. Screws, drill bits and hooks need a latch that stays shut and a cell the piece actually fits. A velvet tray with a long review file still does not win a screw-sorting job, and bulk fasteners belong in a cabinet.
Closure is the next check. A snap or a latch has to stay on. UK texts in this capture include a catch that fell apart on screws, and dividers called awkward until the box was full. A clear lid matters when you must see the cell. Glass clasps belong on a display tray, and a cracked glass lid goes back to the retailer. If closure or a water line is missing, do not invent one. Water resistant, where it is printed, is not watertight and not dishwasher-safe.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want many small clear cells, and a label if every colour has its own pot. The Opret four-pack is best value at about £7.99 when a 2 cm cell is enough, with 4.4 from 853. LILUONGS, about £18.99, is the set with 60 lidded inner boxes and stickers. The title says 30 grids and the attribute says 60.
You are sorting miniature screws, drill bits or hooks, and you accept thin craft plastic. QJKEJI is about £5.79 for three boxes, 4.4 from 374, and UK texts mention bits and miniature screws. The cells are about 2.3 cm high. A different two-pack has a UK review that says the catch fell apart on screws.
You want pieces on show, not a tray you tip into a toolbox. The Frebeauty glass-lid tray is about £15.98, 4.5 from 1,054, and one UK review describes a squashed arrival. The Dmnnlp drawer case is about £14.99, 4.8 from 47, with no cell size in centimetres.
The top pick is the Gospire clear box at about £8.99. It scores 91, the highest here: a cell about 5.2 × 5.2 × 5.5 cm and 4.4 from 1,941 amazon.co.uk reviews. The title says 15 grids and the attribute says 12, and UK texts describe a cracked bottom and a broken box. Best value is the Opret four-pack at about £7.99, score 83, with 4.4 from 853. The boxes are about 2 cm high, UK reviews call the plastic thin, and the 6 tons line is not a load rating. QJKEJI scores 84 at about £5.79 for three boxes and a smaller review file, so it does not take the value award.
Opret 4-pack, 15 grids
About £7.99 for four boxes, 4.4 from 853. About 2 cm high, and the 6 tons line is not a load rating.
