It really doesn't matter, you can't see them till the drawers are open, and it's not like the cabinet they're going into is a quality piece.

Is that a desk drawer, or ? What will they be holding? I'd avoid straight-up/ordinary "acrylic". It's quite brittle, so anything but very small items made from it tends to crack/break fairly easily, even without "rough usage". I have no idea what "Resipreme plastic" is, but if it's a polycarbonate type (and superficially, it does have that look), that would be a lot more resilient than acrylic. The wood ones look nice, but I'd be loath to shell out for those without seeing them in person, since, imx, most relatively inexpensive wooden items like those are usually pretty poorly made of not-such-wonderful wood, and those prices are too high (for me) for a mediocre product (and realistically, I think too low in today's market to be able to count on them being especially "well made").

Fwiw, I'd take a look on Amazon, too, if nowhere else. Not because their prices are so great in general, but because the Container Store's prices themselves are usually on the high side, so it's worth at least checking out other likely sources...

PS: If they are for a desk drawer (so you don't need deep or large ones) and you have a local TJ Maxx/Home Goods/Marshall's, check there, too. I got a couple of these 8-bin "MadeSmart" sets there for $5 and change. They're not heavy-duty or anything, but the plastic isn't brittle and while the interlocking functionality is only so-so, to the extent appearance is an issue, they don't have that blunt utilitarian, kitchen/utility-drawer look of most Rubbermaid products. They're not particularly "nice" looking, but the darker colors especially really don't look bad at all. And if the sizes in the sets work for you, even at Amazon's price they're quite a bit cheaper than buying a similar number of individual compartments of the Container Store organizers you linked in your OP.

You're worried about how drawer organizers are going to look? You can't be serious. Better question is what will the drawer be storing?

Clear ones will get noticeably scratched up by anything hard moving in them. For whatever that's worth. I have one kitchen drawer top drawer that holds all kinds of small junk, from pens and notepads, to tape measures, flashlights, toothpicks. I have some Rubbermaid organizers in it. Beige, I think.

Thanks guys. The one thing about The Container Store is the slow processing. It takes up to 5 days for them to process orders which is unheard of in this day and age.

I ordered a little from them a long while ago before to try.
