A new storage box seems like a solution to a crowded desk. If the desk holds paperwork you have not decided what to do with, the box may simply hide the same unfinished choices.
Write the problem in practical terms. Do you need to find something quickly, protect it or make room to work? Try the smallest relevant change with what you already have, where that is safe and suitable.
Buy the missing function
If the trial shows that you need a particular size, feature or capacity, use that information to compare products. Avoid buying a collection of accessories before knowing which part is necessary.
After the purchase, check whether the original problem is easier to manage. If it is not, identify what remains unresolved before buying again. Some tools are useful precisely because they provide a missing function. The question is whether the item does that job in your setting, including how it will be stored, used and maintained once the excitement of choosing it has passed.
