I'm looking for a sturdy three or four drawer set of plastic drawers for storage in my tent. I have tried a slimline set before but they fell apart every time I picked them up or moved them. I saw another tent with a set of plastic drawers at the weekend and they were much better quality than most I've seen. I forgot to ask what the brand was.

So far my research has thrown up brands such as Thumbs Up, Wham, Strata and Curver. I would be interested to see which of these held up to the demands of camping the best.

I have a set of 3 plastic drawers that I use in my kitchen tent.  They have been in use for over 4 years and I bought them from ASDA.  They are really great and I take them apart, each drawer fully loaded, to pack in boot of car, then when on site just click all 3 together again. They fit nicely under my kitchen unit. 

They are still on sale at ASDA, sometimes they are at reduced price.

B and Q do individual drawers that then fit together, much easier to fit in the car. The only slight down side is that you need something like. a tin in the very back of each drawer for weight so that they are stable. I love mine.

If you look in my Wiltshire photo thread you can see them in the third photo down

I have the Wham ones - grey outside, purple draws from Tesco. The grey plastic has broken at the bottom, but then I was trying to lift them while full into the car and did not quite get them over the lip of the boot. Have used them 5/6 times and they seem pretty sturdy to me.

I got mine from Morrisons and they are pretty sturdy. My one tip though would be to get the clear drawers rather than coloured ones so at least you can roughly see the contents of each drawer at a glance. The ones I have are blue and it means you have to open every drawer to find what you want.
