Got it from IKEA, called the Alex. Each drawer is a little higher than the diameter of my widest yo-yo so they all fit perfectly!!! ---

I don’t recommend this at all unless you have an actual good cutting tool to use. I’ve tried to use a similar material for a case and it was a nightmare to cut in any kind of consistent way. It’s way too soft and spongy, it was so hard to cut at all. I was extremely dissatisfied with the results and felt like I wasted my time. ---

Even more reason to get the anti slip mat that Pun1sh3R recommended than the foam bed. ---

I’ve made a couple of different cases using different density foam, what I found that works best is a 2" (50mm for you metric folks) without the drill In a cordless drill running backwards. ![20230611_143420](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/1/c/61c0e4399b8411aa10cd1b7b5bde4e124df7c387.jpeg) ---

FWIW, I used those perforated foam rubber drawer liners that I think I saw Doc Pop used, but it did discolor a wood yoyo (see spots on the spin gear fixie). Metal doesn’t seem affected though. I bet it would affect plastic too now that I think about it. ![IMG_0170](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/7/4/e74e8f315987bd996d1bba0453d7c8aaf8237bb4.jpeg) ![IMG_0171](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/8/8/9888fe1e2cfa44c628698f7521a8f431e15783c4.jpeg) ---

Have to open them carefully so everything doesn’t rattle and move around, but so far so good and a great storage space!! Thanks everyone! ---

Even tho @Bobparty already found a solution I wanted to chime in for anyone’s future reference. DO NOT buy memory foam, it’s incredibly difficult to cut and won’t give you clean lines. [This foam](https://foamforyou.com/charcoal-firm-foam) was recommended to me by another forum member as it’s perfect and relatively easy to cut. I’ve purchased it to make a few wall display cases and I can confirm it’s great and VERY high quality. Get the 2" thickness (they only sell large quantities, so you’ll receive a pretty big sheet of this stuff - but you’ll need it to fill those drawers) and then use a bread knife to cut the dimensions of the drawer, and then a an empty tomato paste can to press holes into the foam wherever you want them. ---

Oh yeah, after what Mable said I decided against it cause they said their experience wasn’t good cutting it, so I should probably remove the link instead of leaving it up there in case someone looks at this thread in the future. ---

That’s a really good idea to cut to shape. [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yo-yo-unit-and-storage/377832.md?page=1)
