After writing a post on Dreambox alternatives, I kept running across other amazing options, so I wanted to share them.

If you’re a crafter (or artist), then you know your hobbies require a lot of storage for all of those craft supplies.
I’m sure that you’ve seen the ads for the Dreambox cabinet and suffered major sticker shock when you saw the price. I did too.
I even decided to splurge on it, but when it didn’t show up after 6 months of waiting, I decided to get creative and make my own version of a Dreambox.
Besides, I don’t think it’s necessary to spend a ton of money on storage. Save your cash and buy more supplies!
Here are some of my favorite budget-friendly craft storage solutions.
Affordable Craft Cabinets and Armoires
Craft Furniture
These affordable craft cabinets are all priced under $500 (as of April 2022). A variety of sizes and finishes are included.
This cabinet is available in several finishes. There are shelves in the doors as well, allowing you to maximize space.
This cabinet has a fold-out table, which is great for small spaces. The table has an electrical outlet to make using your favorite crafting machines even easier. It's available in an antique white finish.
This cabinet is very similar to the last one, but it has different doors. It's available in a few different colors. It also has a fold-out table and an electrical outlet.
If your space is smaller, you might like this craft cart. These types of cabinets are typically used for sewing, but it would also be perfect for other crafts, like a Cricut.
It's available in this weathered oak finish.
This cabinet is perfect for people who like rustic or farmhouse decor. It comes in a few different finishes.
It's a pretty simple shelf on the inside with a drawer at the bottom, but it's perfect for adding organizing bins.
This piece is perfect for small spaces. I love the fold-down desk. The chalkboard is perfect for jotting down ideas.
This cabinet is better for smaller craft collections, but it does have a matching hutch (linked below) to add more storage.
This hutch goes with the cabinet above to add a bit more storage to a small space. I love that the back is a pegboard, which adds even more storage!
I love when furniture has wheels! It makes it easy to move it closer to a table for working. This cabinet has 5 drawers and 2 shelves inside the door.
It's available in a few different colors.
Pantry cabinets make great craft storage solutions. I love the details of this piece. The beadboard is so pretty! The doors contain shelves and I like that it has a drawer for smaller items.
Rolling carts are always a good idea. This cart is small enough to tuck away in a closet when not in use and just roll it to your workspace when you need it.
This cart is available in several colors.
Organizing Bins
Organizing bins will make these craft cabinets even better.
Fridge storage is perfect for organizing crafts. This 10-piece set includes 3 different sizes.
These bins are great for larger items like sketchbooks or even paint bottles.
I have a ton of these containers that I use to store everything from paintbrushes to pencils. The small ones are good for holding erasers or other tiny things that get lost easily.
These stackable drawers are perfect for taking advantage of shelves.
This would be a great way to organize acrylic paint tubes!
Add some color to your craft cabinet with these cute teal containers. I love that they have lids!
I love these bins! They are stackable, have lids, and have straight sides which allows you to place them beside each other without wasting space.
They're available in several sizes.
If you have a large supply of markers, pencils, or pens, these cups are great for organizing your collection.
Keep track of what's in your bins with chalkboard labels.

Lots of good ideas here! I did something similar… I went to yard sales until I found a solid wood armoire that would work for my crafting and quilting needs. Then I found two solid wood shelving units (also at a yard sale, but can be purchased from a store as well). I removed the doors and with three strong hinges on each one I attached them to the sides of the armoire, forming the doors. This is why I wanted solid wood furniture to start with. Particle board would not hold the weight for very long. I did add a swivel wheel under the outside edge of each shelf unit to hold some of the weight and be easier to open. Added skirting so the wheels wouldn’t show then painted it out to match my craft room and it’s working great!
That sounds amazing! Love it!
